Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ

Me and a friend just bought our first Telescope in Delhi(India).... This is a Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ Refractor Telescope... We dont know much about Astronomy and Sky observation but it really excites us and its growing on us allot recently... The pictures and the videos in this clip are taken from a Sony 12.0 Megapixel Camera, so the quality of the pictures are not that great...We used a Digital Camera mount to click my pictures and make Videos through the Telescope..... Soon would be coming out wid some DSLR Picture.. Look forward to it..Thanx and ENJOY....
Do check out my another link that i had put up later... images are much sharper and bigger here using the 3X Barlow. Check it in HD if u can.....
• Celestron powerseeker ...

i love this telescope its amazing and it captures the moon beautifuly.

[@aidand1234]

Just got this yesterday,havent used it yet but Im having great fun popping the bubble wrap it came in

[@keeplookingup911]

People who have never seen through the telescope, the moon looks fascinating through 70 Az. Its just that smartphones and cheep cameras are not good enough for Astrophotography but as beginner, its a good start.

[@SniperSam]

i have the 114 and its great. con is just adjusting it and flimsy feel. It will get off track extremely easy

[@AmieB2005]

Awesome awesome video dude!! Just got this for my father since he's never been given a gift as a child and always wanted a scope. I don't have a lot of money so I found this at Walmart for $40. We saw the moon and it was pretty good for an entry-level scope. Still haven't figured how to adjust the Barlow lense.

[@stevepeter03]

Ha, great fun, go out there and explore it might dig into u soon....

[@stevepeter03]

Hey man thanx, this has been shot from a Point and shoot camera, I am soon uploading a video with images and visuals(Full HD) caught through my DSLR, It gives an outstanding image quality and the real idea of the scope. I love the 114 by celestron, i am planning to buy an Orion XT6 soon.... Keeping my fingers crossed...

[@stevepeter03]

All friends here at youtube, this telescope is a great scope to start with, explore more sources yo understand how it works. I believe u will eventually find out that every different object in the sky almost need specific scopes to view them. This telescope gives a glimpse all. As i said u have to decide how serious are you guys about this

[@stevepeter03]

Naice happy exploring

[@Jackofhearts214]

I love this telescope. I got on a black friday sale for $20 and use it as much as I can!

[@antreascy6954]

Jack Lloyd wtf??????? in my country is $135 ;(

[@stevepeter03]

Yes if see the objects directly through the telscope they look invert i use a star diagonal which i got with telescope makes it straight on the eyepiece by inverting it back again....

[@gohstdog23]

Wow great vid thanx! Just got this tely today!

[@ih8suvz]

I saw Jupiter and Saturn for the first time with this scope. Great buy for only $45 dollars.

[@Pinewoodpaladin227]

Yes, you really can see the Moon with this Telescope. I had to play around with the lenses for a little while but when you finally get a clear view it will definitely leave you speechless. And I am a beginner. The only thing I am having trouble with so far is seeing Galaxies but I don't know if that's possible yet.

[@aidand1234]

Yeh I used the 20mm with the Barlow 3x last night and I could see the moon fairly well,it was kinda cloudly though hoping tonight will be better Thanks for your help:D

[@steenjimmy833]

Thanks

[@legomaninacart3172]

wow it looks like the 60 AZ one

[@stevepeter03]

Hey Fatima this telescope truly is the best telescope for the price... For budding enthusiasts it is a great starters telescopes... I am still trying to save some money to buy a reflector telescope to explore more... Probably 150mm this time..

[@mira9640]

How do you make it so zoomed in, I have the exact same one and using the Barlow lense just makes a bunch of weird patterns when I put it against the moon

[@stevepeter03]

Hey i just clicked it through my digital camera i think i adjusted the ISO to capture the stills with out movement (though it doesn't move that fast) and also i used a digital camera mount for A-focal photography clicking it through the eyepiece... i have another video in which there are better and larger magnified stills check it....

[@FinnKiol]

I saw Uranus with thing, Neptune just looked like a small dot, Pluto couldn't see anything, Mars I could see the pols, Saturn I saw it pretty big, Jupiter was very close up, The Moon I could see its surface, Venus was too bright, and Mercury was a big black dot I couldn't see the sun because I didn't buy a filter it was the Celestron 21061 AstroMaster 70AZ Refractor Telescope.

[@aryanparhawk8508]

FinnTheGhast King Pluto cannot be seen as it it very far away and even Neptune... lately I went to stargazing for taking a review of the telescopes they had and still play to couldn’t be seen

[@aryanparhawk8508]

Pluto*

[@dhruvchopra5727]

Wait ! How did you see my anus ??

[@mikecartwrightbeach]

s there ANY way to swap out the crappy tripod this comes with? Is it just a standard stud that works with my photo tripods? Thanks SO much for this video!

[@arifmuhammad6605]

pls let me know which sound track is it

[@Thermosphere13]

Nice BGM

[@metaldog796]

Good job. Can you give me a link to a digital camera mount?

[@stevepeter03]

Hey congrats on your birthday and your new Telescope, i can help u with whatever i know, i use a 4mm eyepiece with my scope and i also have a Barlow lens which is 3X ( that means it multiplies the power of a specific eyepiece by 3 times, 2 times in case of 2X), Read up Barlow Lens for telescopes on google i am sure u will find your way. I think its a great scope for lunar and planetary observation. Though these are Refractor's, Reflectors have an outstanding sharpness and less light aberration

[@rwj99]

Contemplating getting one of these telescopes but i have a few questions, Can you see Saturn with this scope? Also can you upgrade to better lenses with this scope. Keep in mind that i am a newbie to telescopes. I only really have 3 planets in mind . The moon,Jupiter & Saturn.

[@meme-px2wu]

Is it hard to a camera up to one of these?

[@stevepeter03]

Hi Nikhil sorry im a little late. I believe that planets being really far its not easy to identify and focus on it. Depth of field is to short for distant planets for this telescope. Also u might have to take out sometime to understand how it works.

[@stevepeter03]

I was using the 20mm while i was clicking as well as recording the video.... Its all through the digital camera.... i used a Barlow 3x with a 20mm in an another video. Find the link in the description of this video....

[@stevepeter03]

Hi u can also check other videos out to have an idea of the celestron powerseeker 70AZ. Also deciding upon the a new telescope the bresser D:150/1400 or the Orion Skyquest XT6. Post that posting some great wonders of the universe wid the new telescope sooon keep watching. Till then clear skies...

[@HNRD08]

Hi, how did you attach your camera to it?

[@zbig1236]

The camera makes the objects look blurry right ?

[@aldebaranpineda2504]

en mi pais cuesta 200 dolares$

[@thatcoolguyapril04]

Thanks for posting this vid champ. My wife got me a Celestron Astromaster 70AZ telescope for my 31st bday two days ago. Im still learning how to use it my Jupiter view is pretty much the same as urs, say i want a closer look would i hav to buy an eyepiece better than 20mm (what I'm using) or would i hav to buy a better telescope (obvious choice but I'm trying to work with what i hav lol)

[@bellrosee3699]

el celestron es mejor que el meade?

[@stevepeter03]

Hey man i just used a Universal A focal/par A focal digital camera adapter.... This was made by a local guy who runs a shop in India into astronomy. I shot all this through the 20mm eyepiece..... I also have another video in which i used a 3x Barlow and the 20mm, images in that video are a little more zoomed in into the subject... You will find adapters on Orion and Celestron websites to i reckon

[@aidand1234]

What lens were you using when you took these pictures? Im not sure if its the time of year or where I am(Ireland) but I havent been able to see much

[@battlegroundmaster1875]

nice job!!

[@manuelmontilla5448]

excelente tengo uno y las imagenes son igual de real a las que tu muestras para aquellos que quieran comenzar lo recomiendo!

[@rogerarauz6643]

Que tú usaste para ver la luna,no puedo ver su crateres

[@nthingman9567]

why u dont use 4mm? its very gooder than 20mm

[@essenceofsoul27]

So can you only see the moon with this telescope? I'm new to all of this and I'm getting one for my son (who's 4 but is already really into astrology).

[@sanjayseebaran2201]

Bro how did you get pics from telescope i really want to get pictures

[@captainthorp1]

I have a choice to get the 60 or the 70 wich one do you thinks best.I think the 70 will do just fine nice vid by the way

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

Jack, not bad for $20. This was my first scope as well. Didn't take long for me to buy a bigger scope, better mount, eyepieces....etc. You have been bitten by the bug, just like I was. Enjoy!

[@stevepeter03]

Totally man thanx.

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

May I suggest your next purchase be a decent eye piece. It will blow your mind when you see what's out there. And it will really bring your new scope up to its full optic potential. If you are value minded take a look at Paradigm by Astro-Tech. Wonderful eyepieces with great reviews for 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of other higher end eye pieces. Enjoy!

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

BTW, is that tripod driving you crazy yet?

[@nikhilvgiri7546]

even i have celestron powerseeker 70az but whenever i see planets like venus through it ,they appear like a circle with a on between them, the view is not like yours.what may be the reason for it?reply fast.....

[@septynigarsai]

any photo camera does the same thing without telescope..

[@etraziel]

Did anyone else notice the faces in the time moon?

[@nrage40]

cyber monday deal at walmart is 39$ today

[@xxGalaxy_Versexx]

Can you see the mountains on the moon?

[@stevepeter03]

Hardly (its subjective).. Only if you understand the contours of the moon, you can pay attention to the fact that they do exist at these section of the moon.

[@ccruzpagan]

what adapter did you use for the DSLR mount?

[@stevepeter03]

Its call a T-Ring for a Nikon Mount. It has a thread happening on one side to screw it in the DSLR were you mount your lenses/glasses. That portion then can be put behind the telescope and the scope almost acts like your lens.

[@stevepeter03]

I bought T-Ring mount for this from a local shop here who sell telescopes.

[@stevepeter03]

I used a Digital camera mount that i bought from the local telescope shop and dealers here in India. Look for digital camera mounts for telescopes on google, u will find out.

[@fakeaccount1999]

hey, great telescope. are the things reversed when you look through it?

[@bulutthecat637]

No.

[@hellojacke1]

All i could see on mine wasy eyelashes -.-

[@samirdhami2469]

How much does this cost?

[@captainthorp1]

hey its me i got the astromaster 70 az way better thanks

[@gawcba]

Se ve lejaso

[@Yeatsbiggestfan]

did you know? you can see earth without a telescope? XD get it? because *WE LIVE ON EARTH*

[@user-kl9cx2ui9e]

А Юпитер размытый, потому что камера плохая?

[@atharva6249]

can nebulas be seen

[@amitsaini1901]

+Atharva Pandhare No This is a very basic refracting type telescope you must be thankful that it shows you moon ! :D :D

[@mrdiyanpetrov]

Actually you can see the Orion Nebula quite good. Did manage to see Andromeda too on the exact same scope while instructing someone on how to use it. Now, the views won't be close in comparison with a Newtonian scope but still a very good beginners scope. I would recommend.

[@juana1483]

Doesn't look very powerful?

[@antreascy6954]

can this telescope zoom in?????

[@stevepeter03]

NOPE!!!

[@prasleybustommy8011]

If zoom out?

[@julesverne4629]

+Antreas Cy Yes buy a ``Orthoscopic Zooming Eyepieces, or Celestron 8x-24 mm. Zooming Eyepieces and ALL your Telescopes can Zoom in or out on Magnifications by turning the Zooming Eyepieces from the 8 mm. 60 Degree Field of Views to their 24 mm. 40 Degrees Field of View. Again, they are called ``Zooming Eyepieces and are made by Celestron and Zhumell and other Manufacturers like Meade Zoom Eyepieces and ALL your Amateur Telescopes will be able to Zoom in and out of Magnifications depending on your Magnification Zooming range specified desires. Have fun with your Zooming Eyepiece Amateur Small Telescopes and ``Clear Constellation Star Nights Skies``!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................................

[@antreascy6954]

Jules Verne thnx mate nice comment :)

[@miriambarcenas1969]

You recommend this telescope foy a child of 6 years old ???

[@TGNEfilms]

definitely, it is cheap and provides more than good enough views for a 6 year olds first telescope

[@stevepeter03]

For a 6 year old i think its a great telescope to start with. Also i would recommend some initial help in focusing and placement of the telescope, its all easy eventually once the kids get it right,they turn out better then us often ...

[@nick85able]

just got my daughter one for her 6th bday

[@stevepeter03]

Yes why not with some initial help...

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

I agree with my colleagues, in addition, I suggest buying this scope used. Retail on the 70AZ or EQ version is around $150. The astronomy sites such as cloudynights.com have classifieds with used scopes that have been loved. Also, upgrade to better eyepieces. It will make this scope perform to its true potential. Clear Skies!!

[@stevepeter03]

Well not really, in this video i cud not do much with a point and shoot camera... U can see the planets but they are very small as they are miles away, moon being the closest gives a decent view for a 70mm telescope, u can experiment with different lenses to try for the planets.... I have observed Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, The beehive star cluster (Pleaides), trying for the Andromeda these days, but remind u these objects are not as large as the moon, again its a 70mm telescope.

[@stevepeter03]

No good
