Celestron 21041 PowerSeeker 60AZ Telescope

Product Information

From birdwatching to stargazing, view all of your favorite subjects in crisp detail with Celestron's award-winning sport optics. Having said that, an argument can be made for having a pair of nice, image stabilized binoculars at hand. Getting both eyes involved always helps. I have been using a 1.25" Tak prism for planetary. While I typically use the 3-6 Nagler zoom for the shorter ratio refractors on planets, I have used my 7T1 with the 80 f/11.3 and a 9T6 with the f/15 Mak because that is wherethe latter scopes have topped out so far on planets.

Eyepiece advice requested for 60mm F10 scope - Cloudy Nights

I admit that I am intrigued by what one of these might be able to do, and they can be had for next to nothing. Oh sure, I could just stop down mymodded80 f/11.3 w/2" focuserfor the same sort of experience without adding any new gear, but I am more curious about whether or not one of thesemodern cheap long60'scan be converted into something useful. Doing side-by-side with the AT60 could be a trip.The other bit of bad news looking at the kit is that the 20mm eyepiece is a cheaper design than that with the Celestron 70 Travel scope. This one has a much smaller eye lens and only about a 13.6mm field stop vs. about 19mm in the Travel scope's kit. Accessories include: two eyepieces (20mm and 8mm), erect image star diagonal, Barlow lens, moon filter, and finderscope. I don't know what the current 60mm F15 are like, but I have a Vixen Custom 60L from the 1990's that performs wonderfully.

Something to give the best contrast lunar and planetary views at the high end of magnification my little scope can comfortably handle. My usual seeing conditions aren't great. Thinking 100x is maybe a good range to aim for, so maybe 6mm but maybe too small exit pupil?I have one of these Celestron 60mm f/15 scopes. The optics on mine are spot on. They match the quality of both my Tasco and Bushnell 60mm f/15s. The focuser is all plastic but is very smooth. The finderscope is junk. Have not had a chance to test the EQ Mount. I used it with a spare clamp mount on an alt-az tripod. TeleVue TV60 f/6 ED doublet: fantastic and compact scope, looked through a stunning sample, has a bit more CA than the slower aforementioned fluorite doublets. Very promising: Tak FOA 60 f/8.8 fluorite, just introduced, look forward to seeing one in the flesh. Celestron’s FREE planetarium app is an astronomy suite that redefines how you experience the night sky. The 18.2mm DeLite is a great place to start. So would the 24mm Panoptic or a used 22mm Panoptic (one of my favorites, which I still own 30 years later). But for a short focal length, consider (saving for) the not-inexpensive Takahashi UW 5.7mm. It's designed for flat field scopes, which the FS60Q is. It's right by the 6mm lazy-person's target. It has a roomy 90° AFOV and it's optically incisive for 105X. In the event you find a night of exceptional seeing where you can grind out more useful magnification, with the 5.7mm UW eyepiece you can get 210X with a 2X Barlow, or ~89X per inch, which is entirely within the competence of the FS60Q when seeing permits.
