All PowerSeekers are supplied with a full range of eyepieces plus a 3x Barlow lens which provides hundreds of times more magnification than the naked eye! These telescopes are designed and manufactured using all the optical components in glass treated with high transmission coatings to obtain brighter and sharper images.

Also included in the package is an engine to be connected to the Right Ascension axis to allow automatic tracking of the celestial vault without any user intervention on the AR axis, in fact it will be sufficient to carry out a precise polar parking, mount the hourly motor on the AR axis and activate sidereal tracking. In case of observations from the northern hemisphere, position the lever on the "N" indicator, otherwise, if from the southern one, on "S". To keep in the field the objects that are being observed, only occasional corrections will be sufficient with the Declination knob. You can also change the tracking speed to allow tracking of Solar System objects.
