Thank you so much. I'm a complete beginner and was able to assemble based on your video. I have a doubt. How do I handle the telescope, like if I want to watch every day or every other day should I assemble every time or can I move the mounted telescope around the house? Sorry for the naive question. Thanks in advance.
you can move it assembled no worries just move with caution to not to damage the components. I am glad this video helped. please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos
The view in a finderscope, like that in a telescope, is upside down because the lens on the eyepiece is focused on the focal point of the main reflector (or lens) because the beams of light cross at the focal point this results in the image being inverted. I hope this helps. Please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos
How do you determine if the green laser is pointing at the pole star? Does it cast a semi-transparent beam a short distance? Also, have you created a video yet showing the fine adjustments to the primary mirror? I have heard that the collimation of this scope can be very, very frustrating to set and maintain.
yes you are right green laser shows up a bright light which is visible in the night to point it to the pole star. May be I will do a video on how to do it in my future video. For collimation of scope you need to buy a laser collimeter this makes things easier. Its not hard to do when you use one screw at a time and keep observing in which direction the laser is moving to intelligently get it collimated for this no need to remove the inner lense that you have on the scope as recommended by other videos for me it stays collimated even with the lense installed just remove the eyepiece and insert your collimater to check the collimation. I will definately do another video to demonstrate this process. I hope this helps please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos
I bought this telescope but even after proper collimation with a laser tool, the focuser would disrupt the alignment whenever I would move it while the laser was in. Good thing I managed to return it to amazon before it was too late. To be specific, the focuser assembly was low quality and would have a little bit of play enough to change collimation or the alignment between the secondary mirror and the eyepiece. I could not get proper alignment due to that. The tripod was cool asf though.
@@AstroShootingStars I used your video for assembly, you helped a lot. I like the Celestron brand though. Right after i bought this powerseeker my mom gave me a trailseeker 20-60x80 spotting scope which she found in someone's trash lol. Her luck is out of this world. I managed to take really nice moon pics and even got to see jupiter, its moons and saturn the other day. I will def keep watching your videos, astronomy has not being ruined by a bad experience with a product.
Could you tell where the 0 in Right Ascension should be initially pointing to? Apart from the rotating knobs, Im actually able to rotate the RA dial itself. Could you please clarify on where 0 should point to? Thanks in advance.
you might not get that easily unless you have a celestron shop nearby. but what you can do it get a screw of the same size from the hardware store and can by a washer ring to put over it. I hope this helps. please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos.
@@AstroShootingStars my mount is also fixed in the tripod. the previous owner said that the screw is striped and he has to bond it, is there any way to fix this aswell?
you need to align your scope and finder scope first so that they point to the same location you can do that by using green laser or manual alignment by targeting an object in sky and point your telescope and finder scope to it. I hope this helps. please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos
I find that it's way easy to just eyeball something in the sky that stands out and find it in the telescope then adjust my eyepiece to target it and fine tune trying to play with dead center...
i am sure there would be local vendors who could sell it for lower prices. I hope this video helped. Please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos.
Thank you so much! I had no idea how to install this, and thanks to you we got it! Peace mate!

Thank you this has been very helpful

Post some awesome pics of planets 🤟
Sure i have that pipelined on my channel. Please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos
Thanks

I have an Omegon with similar set up. I'm happy to have taken the 20% cheaper brand because the fabrication is the same. It works.
awesome i guess this video helped you with Omegon. please stay tuned to my channel for my future videos
Nice

My finderscope image is upside down. Is it correct ?
If u have a reflector like theese then yes it has upside down images
U can replace it tho but if u don’t want your image upside down get an erecting eyepiece

@Sw33t_ag0ny awesome keep up the good work

That dial is basically useless, ignore it and just use your telescope
where can i buy the counter weight screws? i bought a 2nd hand 127eq and it doesn't have that screw. it easily slides when i unloosen weight

I have the same scope. I can see the moon in finderscope but don't see anything in the main eyepiece. What might I be missing?
