|---|---|---|
Optical Diameter:This measurement indicates the size of the telescope's primary lens. A bigger diameter is better, as it will allow the lens to produce more detail by collecting additional light. The Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ Telescope achieves 7% performance for optical diameter. However, the current preferences ignore optical diameter in computing the rankings. | 60 millimeters (wrong info?) | |
Focal Length:This measurement indicates the width of an angle the telescope can capture through its eyepiece. A longer focal length will typically allow you to reach higher magnifications. The Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ Telescope achieves 20% performance for focal length. However, the current preferences ignore focal length in computing the rankings. | 900 millimeters (wrong info?) | |
Maximum Useful Magnification:This is the maximum magnification that can be achieved by the telescope that is still considered useful and bright enough to see. Given that users looking for the best overall telescopes prefer higher values for maximum useful magnification, the Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ Telescope achieves 82% performance in this category. | 675 x (wrong info?) | |
Finderscope:This feature assists in locating objects. The right finderscope for you depends on your intended use, as a red-dot finderscope helps to locate things that are visible with the naked eye and an optical finderscope locates things that are not. The Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ Telescope achieves 100% performance for finderscope. However, the current preferences ignore finderscope in computing the rankings. | Optical (wrong info?) | |

Optical Design:Optical designs range in both quality and price. Refracting and Newtonian telescopes are both good for visual observing and stargazing, but refracting ones are easier to use and Newtonians are typically less expensive. Catadioptric telescopes are the best design for terrestrial viewing. The Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ Telescope achieves 100% performance for optical design. However, the current preferences ignore optical design in computing the rankings. | Refractor (wrong info?) | |

Mount Type:Mount types range in complexity and the best one for you is based on your intended use. These types range from the altazimuth, which is the simplest design recommended for casual use and terrestrial viewing, to the equatorial design, which is more complex and designed for astronomical viewing. The Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ Telescope achieves 100% performance for mount type. However, the current preferences ignore mount type in computing the rankings. | Equatorial (wrong info?) | |
