CelestronPowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope - Manual German Equatorial Telescope for Beginners - Compact and Portable - Bonus Astronomy Software Package - 127mm Aperture

Q: What will I be able to see through these? I want to be able to see all the planets in our solar system with color, will this do it?

I am a novice user who started using this telescope Early Summer 2017. I was able to observe Jupiter and Saturn with some practice and patience. Luckily they were easy to find in the night sky and followed behind the path of the moon. I could make out the colored bands if Jupiter and could see the rings of Saturn with this telescope. It was blurry but still exhilarating!! I can’t wait until next Summer when I can view Mars!

Q: What will i see with this?

Great view of the craters on the moon close to the terminator. Jupiter (and possibly the great spot on a very clear night with appropriate filters). Jupiter's moons (point sources) and their movement around Jupiter. Saturn and it's ring(s!). Mars as a red dot. Venus and its crescent. Orion nebula, ring nebula, and a handful of star clusters. Keep in mind that the weather is a determining factor in your observations. Good luck!

Q: I am planning to travel with this. What would be total weight and dimension of this in a packed box along with tripod and all accessories?

This is not a scope I would think that would travel well. First off it is a Jones-Bird Reflector design which means it is difficult and somewhat time consuming to collimate. Travel would just complicate that more. The box is fairly large as well - As far as weight 30.9 x 16.9 x 8.5 inches ; 17 pounds assembled - 30 pounds packaged. You would be better off with a small refractor type scope for travel or a small maksutov-cassegrain around 90mm or so.

Q: Is this a good telescope for astrophotography (nebula, star clusters, galaxies?) Can I attach a Canon EOS 60D to this using a T mount?

Not with a camera that heavy the mount and counter weight couldn't take the load. To do any good deep sky images you need to put the motor drive on it and its also would handle that heavy of a camera. This telescope can see many deep sky object I have seen M81 (Bode's Galaxy) in Ursa Major. You can put on a Celestron Motor Drive and a Orion 52175 Star Shoot Solar System Color Imaging Camera IV and take great pictures. Happy watching!
