The PowerSeeker2 unique square optical tube
design has clear advantages.
The design of the Celestron PowerSeeker2optical tube helps reflect stray light away from the user’s eye,
giving higher contrast planetary and lunar views. In addition, the square tube design maximizes the
internal tube space allowing damaging tube currents to avoid the actual optical path — this results in
clear, steady seeing. Unlike most other 60mm refractors, the PowerSeeker2 has a rotatable erect image
diagonal that makes it excellent for land viewing as well as astronomical use.
Other PowerSeeker2 features include:
• Soft carrying case holds the telescope,
mount, tripod, and all accessories
• 5x20 finderscope held by pivot arm for
convenient alignment
• Accessory tray to hold extra eyepieces
• Built-in compass to assist in terrestrial observations
• Two 1.25” eyepieces and a 3x Barlow lens for a maximum
of 525 power (PowerSeeker260) or 675 power
(PowerSeeker270)
• Coated objective lens
Rotatable Erect Image Diagonal
Soft carrying case is included with the
PowerSeeker260 and 70.

The Celestron PowerSeeker series of
telescopes is designed to give the
first-time buyer the perfect
combination of quality, value, features
and, most important of all, POWER.
Offering exceptional value, these
telescopes feature portable yet powerful
designs with ample optical performance
to excite any newcomer to the world of
amateur astronomy. The PowerSeeker’s
come in a choice of refractor or reflector,
equatorial or altazimuth mount design.
The PowerSeeker’s come with all glass
optical components with high
transmission coatings for enhanced image
brighness and clarity. The Newtonian
reflectors offer larger aperture and
greater light gathering power needed to
resolve the faint detail of hundreds of
deep-sky and other celestial objects. All
PowerSeekers come on either sturdy
equatorial mounts for tracking the sky, or
collapsable altazimuth mounts suitable
for terrestial viewing as well as
astronomical use. The PowerSeekers
come with a full range of eyepieces plus a
3x Barlow lens, allowing an increase in
viewing power hundreds of times greater
than that of an unaided eye!
