Review: Celestron Power Seeker 80EQ Refractor Telescope. - This is probably the best Beginner's Telescope you can buy. At under £120 it is incredible value for a metal telescope tube, tripod and EQ mount. The accessories are OK, but the 3x Barlow lens is very poor and should be thrown away. Excellent for viewing the Moon and Double Stars. Good for viewing the Planets and Bright Comets. OK for viewing Bright Galaxies and Bright Nebulae.
Review: Ideal first purchase for the beginner - Fantastic first telescope for a beginner like me. Easy to set up and follow instructions. Very happy with my purchase.

Fantastic first telescope for a beginner like me. Easy to set up and follow instructions. Very happy with my purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product
*by S***M on 21 April 2022*

Not really a starter or an expert telescope so if brand new try to get something for beginners which will cost less. Watch a few videos or read up about each part so you understand what it is for. Otherwise looks very good in any room.
