Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian Reflector Telescope

Powerful, precise, and perfect for aspiring astronomers. The Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ is a high-quality 127mm Newtonian reflector telescope designed to deliver brilliant views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more. With its large 5-inch aperture and German equatorial mount, it’s an excellent choice for those ready to take the next step in astronomy.

See Further. See Clearer.

With a 127mm (5”) aperture and 1000mm focal length, the PowerSeeker 127EQ collects over 300 times more light than the human eye. This allows for detailed views of Jupiter’s cloud bands, Saturn’s rings, lunar craters, and even some deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula or Andromeda Galaxy.

  • Newtonian reflector design with spherical primary mirror

  • Coated glass mirrors for brighter, high-contrast images

  • Magnification range: 50x to 250x with included eyepieces

  • 3x Barlow lens triples the power of each eyepiece

Manual German Equatorial Mount for Accurate Tracking

The German Equatorial (EQ) mount is ideal for tracking celestial objects as they move across the sky. With slow-motion RA and DEC control knobs, you can make precise adjustments, while setting circles help locate objects more easily using celestial coordinates.

  • Fine-tune your view with smooth manual tracking

  • Ideal for learning how to navigate the night sky like a pro

  • Sturdy steel tripod with full-height adjustment and accessory tray

Does it come with a warranty?

All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
