Value for Money. - Optics Decent quality optics. The light gathering capacity is average due to 70mm aperture which is in line with the price. With 20mm eyepiece (35x magnification), image is good and sharp. With 4mm eyepiece(175x magnification), image is softer and not bright. Finderscope is good enough with crosshairs. The Barlow Lens I received is pretty much useless. Chromatic Aberration is present but it's very much expected in a refractor in this range. Jupiter's band and moon can be seen. Saturn's rings can be seen. Moon's craters are vividly visible, as evident int he pictures attached. Tripod The tripod itself is good enough for the weight of telescope. The mount is shaky and had lot of free play. The altitude fine adjustment screw mechanism has free play too. But not a deal breaker at this price and casual usage. I put a dry heavy towel over the centre of telescope to dampen out the vibrations. Overall it's a decent telescope for the price. Definitely lets you see so much farther than you could see with a similarly priced binocular. The Light gathering capability ie not great but that's not a problem in daytime terrestrial viewing. If you can worlk around it's shortcomings like poor mount, etc, it's a useful optical instrument. Review: BEST BEGINNER TELESCOPE - Very Good telescope, it is portable, easy to use and assemble, and the clarity is very nice in 20mm eye piece but, not good when used more zoom (4mm eye piece).

How to allign the finderscope properly?** A: Hi Khushi, You have 50AZ telescope. FYI, I have been using 60AZ. Please don't consider you can see any planet like big football by this telescope. This is just an entry level telescope by which you can learn many thing before you go for high range telescopes. If you have enough understanding of reading star chart, you can see many astronomical objects through it. Google sky map (this Android app available on Google Play Store - you can spot easily with this app) can be the best companion while you operate this telescope to see planet and nebulae positions. I have seen Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Moon craters and many common nebulae through this and image quality was good (not best, and you must see technical details and price tag before expecting much. For 50AZ, Product comes with three eyepieces, 20mm, 12mm and 4mm and one Barlow (3x). Avoid using 4mm, 12mm and Barlow as it is very difficult to find object. 20mm is just fine. Tripod is again suitable for price tag. Finder is useless.Follow the steps what Amit suggested:For objective lens, there are little alignment issue between finderscope and main scope. You need to align the object to center of "+" in finderscope, and then try to adjust the main scope +- few mms left/right or top/bottom, until you are seeing some bright spots and then use the focus control to get the exact focus.Thanks,Rakesh **Q: Can we see milky way from this ?** A: Sir if you live in a place with low light pollution, the you can see the Milky Way from your naked eyes, because we ARE in the Milky Way. If you need to view objects inside it, then you're welcome. You should go to Sariska. It's the best place to see the Milky way WITHOUT a telescope **Q: Can we use this for bird watching?** A: Yes for bird watching this is more than needed. This will give you the view of Saturn rings and Jupiter's strips along with Orion Nebula's view.. So you can easily buy this for bird watching ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful telescope, with its troubles. Value for Money. *by Y***. on 1 February 2024* Optics Decent quality optics.

So, because of clarity issue I will give it 4/5 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good telescope but limited things to see *by V***W on 24 March 2026* Many people say that barlow is useless but it is very useful you know after 2 days of use.... very good telescope but mount is shaky very low weight... You can see Jupiter clearly through 4mm eye piece but if you think that I will see Jupiter through 4 mm + 3x barlow so it is very hard to set and focus but if you do it professionally so you can see big.. Quality is excellent 👍🏻 Just go for it blindly I don't upload the Jupiter and noon view because I have no phone adaptor ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron - PowerSeeker 80AZS Telescope - Manual Alt-Azimuth Telescope for Beginners - Compact and Portable - BONUS Astronomy Software Package - 80mm Aperture - Celestron – Smartphone Photography Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Photos and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope Eyepiece - Celestron – Telescope Moon Filter – Eyepiece Accessory – Reduces Moon Glare and Enhances Lunar Crater Details – Great for Full Moon Observing – Works with Any Telescope That Accepts 1.25" Eyepieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/96506114-celestron-21087-powerseeker-80azs-telescope-black](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/96506114-celestron-21087-powerseeker-80azs-telescope-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
