1 - 5 of 6

Q1: I have lost my instructions for my Powerseeker.  Can you tell me where I can get new instructions?

A: You should be able to obtain manuals for current telescope models directly from Celestron. Here's the toll-free number so you can make arrangements: 1-800-421-9649.

Q2: What is the weight in kgs and in pounds?

A: The Celestron PowerSeeker 80 EQ weighs 19 pounds or 8.6 kg.

Q3: Can I buy and fix motor drive on this telescope? If yes, can I buy motor drive from you?

A: Celestron offers a motor drive for FirstScope 80s and FirstScope 114s, but not for the PowerSeeker 80, unfortunately. Thus we wouldn't have a motor drive to fit your scope.

Q4: How long is the shipping going to take?  How much does it weigh?

A: The Celestron PowerSeeker 80 EQ telescope could be shipped to New York overnight, if desired. Free shipping would take 7 to 10 business days. Shipping weight is 35 pounds, and the scope itself weighs approximately 28 pounds.

Q5: How is the finderscope in this scope?

A: The Celestron PowerSeeker 80 EQ has a decent little finderscope. It's a good match for the 80mm aperture of the main scope.
