Budget Scopes: Celestron PowerSeeker 127 EQ
Who says you got to spend a couple thousand dollars on an expensive telescope to become informed about the 'heavenly bodies"? Not so by a long way. Just by observing the night sky without the use of a telescope backed up by informed research can do the job just as well. Of course, if you can afford to purchase a "value priced scope" for family viewing, you would have something tangible to generate interest in amateur astronomy. 'The Celestron PowerSeeker series of telescopes is designed to give the first-time buyer the perfect combination of quality, value, features and power. Offering exceptional value, these telescopes feature portable yet powerful designs with ample optical performance to excite any newcomer to the world of amateur astronomy.'
