    I'd love to add a PowerSeeker 127 to my growing scope collection.
    I currently own 6 scopes ranging from a 2.8" f/6 ED doublet to a 12" f/4.9 Dob, but I believe the 127 would feel a niche role that I'm missing in my scope storage room at the moment.... a trash can!! That's right, I'd love to find a Celestron PowerSeeker 127 or even a 114 to turn into a small telescope themed waste basket for my gear room.

    Celestron power seeker 127 is a hobby killer, a terrible choice due to its birds Jones design

    The Celestron Astromaster 130 has a spherical mirror instead of a parabolic mirror.

    I don't understand the reason why you add powerseeker 127eq in the list 🤔🤔🤔. Once I owned this terrible scope. It is a hobby killer. It is very difficult to collimate and it never stay in place. It comes with low quality focuser and finderscope. Even to adjust the finderscope is a challenging task for this scope. It comes with 4mm eyepiece that gives 250x zoom and 3x barlow lens both are useless. The scope can't provide such high magnification (Celestron knows that). Celestron is cheating the customer. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCOP!!!!

      Thank you so much for pointing out the specific limitations for the Power Seeker. I have this telescope and will consider your valuable feedback if I ever do a review of it in the future. Clear skies!

      Just remove the internal Barlow lens from inside of the focuser draw tube 🔭. I never use the Barlow lens should be 25-60 power per inch diameter of the objective lens

    I love your videos, very informative and straight to the subject, but i disagree with the " beginner friendly scopes " like the power-seeker 127 u mentioned, which is a hobby killer, stay away from that.

      Yikes I have that telescope. Thanks for the feedback. Clear skies!

      Indeed, i wouldn't recommend a Celestron Astromaster 70 either, since there's way more attractive options even in that price range.
