The 114mm reflector is the chosen starterscope for many astronomers. It offers a good cost/optics size ratio delivering bright and high power images at economical prices. The light gathering power of this instrument makes it an ideal choice to start properly viewing galaxies, star clusters, nebulae as well as planetry and lunar observations. For those wanting a high performing starterscope at minimal cost then this is the telescope for you. Optics are subject to the same exacting standards as all Celestrons telescopes.

The Celestron Firstscope 114EQ is supplied on the versatile CG-3 equatorial mount which can be upgraded with motor drive units to allow hands free viewing and automatic tracking at high powers, and also basic astrophotography. Also included is an aluminium tripod with an accessory tray. The accessory tray can be used to store accessories when not in use, as well as adding even more rigidity to the tripod giving shake free views. The finderscope and eyepieces of the 114 are the same as supplied with Celestron telescopes at much higher costs, and are vastly superior to those on competing models.

This is a versatile and useful instument that will take an observer from the very first view through the eyepiece of a telescope, through many years of observing the wonders of the night sky.
