The AstroMaster 114EQ Newtonian Telescope for adults and kids to be used together is a user-friendly and powerful telescope engineered with a lightweight frame and fully-coated optics. Our Celestron telescope features a fully-coated 114mm primary mirror. It also features an AstroMaster German Equatorial manual mount that includes two slow-motion control knobs that allow you to make precision adjustments to easily follow celestial objects as they appear to move across the night sky. The two eyepieces combine with the 114mm aperture optics to produce amazing magnification. The 20mm eyepiece offers 45x magnification, while the 10mm eyepiece provides up-close views up to 90x. This allows you to focus on distant objects with amazing clarity. We have designed the AstroMaster series of telescopes for kids to enjoy exploring the cosmos with adult supervision. Superior materials provide crystal-clear, bright images of Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon, along with deep space objects including brighter galaxies and nebulae. You can also use this telescope for viewing land-based objects during daytime hours. The telescope is quick to set up and requires no tools. The kit includes a rugged, pre-assembled tripod with 1.25-inch steel tube legs, which provide a stable platform for hours of safe use. As a bonus, download our BONUS Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software for interactive sky simulations, a 36,000-object database, and printable sky maps. It’s the best way to learn about the night sky, download printable sky maps, research thousands of celestial objects, and plan your next observing session. Buy with confidence from the world’s #1 telescope brand, based in California since 1960. You’ll also receive a two-year warranty and unlimited access to technical support from our team of US-based experts.

    From the Manufacturer

    If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky.

    The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.

    Great value! Though with some design flaws
    4 Stars
    Great value! Though with some design flaws
    First of all, note that this is not a classic Newtonian reflector. It's a Bird-Jones reflector which uses a spherical mirror instead of a parabolic one and it has a corrector+2x barlow under the focus tube. That being said, it is inherently hard to collimate with lasers but its design allows it to be this compact. It would be almost twice as long if it's a classic Newtonian.The image quality is quite great and be sure to collimate well before using it.Collimation can only be done with collimation caps, but the one from Celestron can't fit into the eyepiece (too long and will hit the corrector lens in the focuser.) A shorter one from other brands is recommended.The mount weighs only about 6lb. Super light but not sturdy enough. You may have to add some weights to it.The counter weight is not heavy enough if you add any accessories to the OTA. I would have my counter weights all the way down to the stopper.The scope is impossible to balance in declination as the plastic pad writes "Celestron" limits the travel of the rings that holds the OTA. Solution? Saw it off. (or put a heavier finderscope in the front)But this is still very good value! It's so compact and light that anyone can physically carry it out.What can you see:-Moon in detail-Jupiter with color bands & its four moons-Saturn with rings. Cassini division not resolvable-Mars as featureless small discs-Venus as featureless small discs-Nebulae as little smoke smudges-Some double stars

    Robusto facile da usare una volta presa la mano, grazie alle istruzioni e il CD video è facile montarlo ma vi consiglio di montarlo in 2 perché è un po' pesante , per evitare di romperlo. Gli oculari in dotazione sono sufficienti a vedere bene la luna e saturno, un po' più piccolo è visibile giove e le sue lune. Il telescopio è molto stabile ed è buono in confronto al prezzo e veramente adatto ai principianti. Io lo adoro.
