The Celestron PowerSeeker 70EQ is a 70 mm f/10 refractor on a manual German equatorial mount, aimed at first-time telescope buyers. It ships with two eyepieces, a 3x Barlow, a 5x24 finderscope and an erect-image diagonal, so it works for the Moon, bright planets and daytime viewing. The equatorial mount tracks objects with slow-motion controls once roughly polar aligned, which is more capable than the simple alt-az mounts on many starter scopes, but it takes more setup and learning. Owners generally find the optics decent for the class while noting the lightweight mount and tripod shake at high power.

Owners describe the PowerSeeker 70EQ as a solid first telescope for lunar and planetary viewing, with good optics for its size. Many praise the included accessories and the tracking mount, while criticising the shaky tripod and the fiddly equatorial setup.
The Celestron PowerSeeker 70EQ is a refractor telescope on a manual German equatorial mount. It has a 70 mm aperture and a 700 mm focal length, and it can be used to view the Moon, planets and landscapes.
The optics use fully coated glass with high transmission coatings to improve brightness and contrast. Erect-image optics make it usable for both terrestrial and astronomical viewing. A 3x Barlow lens increases magnification. The mount has slow-motion controls for smooth tracking and sets up quickly without tools.
It comes with a range of eyepieces, a 5x24 finderscope and a 1.25-inch erect-image diagonal. An accessory tray holds gear. TheSkyX First Light Edition astronomy software is included, with a 10,000-object database, printable sky maps and enhanced images.
