Our take on the Celestron PowerSeeker 60AZ Telescope

The PowerSeeker 60AZ is Celestron's entry-level 60mm refractor on an alt-azimuth yoke mount with a pre-assembled tripod. It ships with two eyepieces, a 3x Barlow and a 5x24 finder, giving magnifications from about 9x to 142x, and the fully coated 60mm objective with a BaK-4 prism is decent glass for the class. It suits beginners and kids who want the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky targets without setup fuss. Against rivals like the Meade Adventure Scope 60 and Orion StarBlast, it offers more included accessories but the same lightweight mount that wobbles at high power.

What reviewers say

  • 4.1 / 574 ratings

Owners rate it around 4 out of 5 and treat it as a solid first telescope for the Moon and planets. The common complaints are a shaky tripod and a weak finder scope.

What people mention
  • Mount stabilityCriticisedOwners say the tripod and yoke shake when focusing or in a breeze, especially at high power.
  • SetupPraisedReviewers describe assembly as quick and simple, with no tools needed.
  • OpticsPraisedThe 60mm lens gives crisp views of the Moon and planets for a scope this size.
  • Finder scopeCriticisedThe 5x24 finder is dim and fiddly to align for many owners.
  • PortabilityPraisedIt is light and easy to carry out to the yard or balcony.
  • EyepiecesMixedThe included eyepieces work but are basic, and the Barlow softens the image at high magnification.

Questions and answers

Is the PowerSeeker 60AZ good for a beginner?
Yes. It sets up fast, points by hand and shows the Moon, planets and bright star clusters. Expect to learn focusing and finder alignment before high-power viewing.
What can I see with a 60mm refractor?
Craters and mountains on the Moon, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings and bright objects like the Orion Nebula. Faint galaxies and nebulae are mostly out of reach.
Does it need batteries or power?
No. The mount is manual, so there is nothing to charge or power.
Can I use it for astrophotography?
Not really. The manual mount and basic eyepieces suit visual use; a phone held to the eyepiece can capture the Moon but little else.
What comes in the box?
The 60mm tube, pre-assembled alt-azimuth mount and tripod, two eyepieces, a 3x Barlow, a 5x24 finder and a diagonal.
Can I use other eyepieces with it?
Yes. It takes standard 1.25-inch eyepieces, and a better eyepiece or a sturdier tripod is the usual first upgrade.

At The Home Depot, for $94.99, as of our latest check.
