 Good starter telescopeOct 17, 2009
The smaller eyepiece for finding the object you want is easier to use than the larger for detailed viewing, but this is a very nice starter telescope for your kids.

Great for the priceSep 21, 2008
Very complete system for the price, and the addition of the software is a great addition.
This telescope obviously doesn't have the high-end mount needed for tracking or finding objects, but it's a GREAT beginners telescope. Has everything you need.

 Almost like being thereJun 08, 2008
I bought this telescope for my husband for Father's Day, but ended up giving it to him early. He was always out on the back porch looking at the night sky. After receiving this telescope, I'm not sure he even comes in at night anymore. He loves it.Celestron 21041 60mm PowerSeeker Telescope

A Decent Scope for BeginnersDec 18, 2007
I would like to give this item three and a hilf stars. It is a reasonable telescope for a beginner and/or youth at an attractive price from one of the most respected names in optics.
It will show you some of the cooler sites of the universe: the Pleides, the Andromeda Galaxy, Orion and various well defined binaries.
Like any good beginners scope, it will leave you hungry for more. (It will also show how spoiled we have become by Hubble images.)
The Powerseeker is well priced as an entry level scope so that you don't have to spend hundreds for a telescope for junior that will live in his closet after the novelty has worn off.
It comes with three eyepieces and a Barlow extension- impressive for the price.
