DESCRIPTION
TOP
The design of the Celestron PowerSeeker Square optical tube helps reflect stray light away from the user’s eye, giving higher contrast planetary and lunar views. Unlike most other 60mm refractors, the PowerSeeker Square has a rotatable erect image diagonal that makes it excellent for land viewing as well as astronomical use.
