Looking for the perfect beginner's package for a telescope? The Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ is on sale now for $132.49 for Amazon Prime Day, a 30% deep discount. You'll also get some astronomy software for free, which makes the deal even more notable.
The entry-level Newtonian telescope includes a manual equatorial mount that is designed for smooth and accurate pointing. It's also easy for a beginner to the sky to operate, as you just need to pivot the telescope where needed and tighten it with a knob.
Included in this package are other accessories you'll appreciate, including two eyepieces (20 mm and 4 mm), a 3x Barlow lens to increase your magnifying power, and a copy of the software "Starry Night."
