Description

If you’re in search of a computerized telescope with the same star locating technology found on our more advanced telescopes at a price that fits your family’s budget, you’ll love the Celestron 114LCM with all glass optics. This computerized Newtonian telescope and its GoTo mount has been designed to automatically locate thousands of celestial objects with a simple push of a button on your NexStar+ hand control. Our proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure is simple to use, so you’re ready to explore the universe in minutes. The process starts by centering any three bright objects in your telescope’s eyepiece. From there, your LCM can calculate its position and orient itself to the night sky. The 114LCM is built with a lightweight computerized mount that makes this telescope compact, portable, and the perfect companion for star parties, camping trips, and impromptu backyard observing sessions. When the Sky Tour button is pressed, the LCM will populate a list of the best celestial objects visible at that moment in the night sky. The Celestron LCM telescope for adults comes with an adjustable aluminum tripod, two high-quality eyepieces (25mm and 9mm), and a StarPointer red dot finderscope. To enhance your experience under the stars, download Celestron’s free SkyPortal app. Listen to hundreds of audio descriptions of the most popular objects on your iOS or Android device while you observe them with your LCM telescope. The 114LCM Computerized Telescope includes a free download of our Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software for an interactive sky simulation. With the largest optics in the LCM series, this telescope for astronomy beginners has enough light-gathering ability to provide extraordinary views of all the best celestial objects.

  • Nice beginner Telescope -- Bird-Jones Lens
Excellent little telescope! The best thing about it is the automated sky tracking. The telescope will track with most objects for quite a while before getting off. This telescope is also fairly compact which is great when going through a doorway. While I had some difficulty getting it to "skyalign" I was able to align to Jupiter no problem. I'm still fairly new at using it, so I haven't figured everything out yet, but it seems pretty straight forward. This telescope does have a Bird-Jones lens, which isn't very clear in the product description. That is how you are able to get such a long focal length with such a small scope. The Bird-Jones lens is like having a permanent Barlow lens built into the focusing tube. Don't forget it is there when cleaning your lenses. If you add a Barlow lens it will most likely over reach the telescope's capability. Make sure you make your calculations before adding non stock lenses. I was able to collimate using a laser collimator without taking out the Bird-Jones lens. Instead of a tiny dot you have a red circle you have to center in the rings. If the circle is fuzzy, then you don't have the beam hitting the focuser tube properly. Once I collimated, I was able to get a clearer image using the more powerful lenses. The laser spotting scope is really nice and can be set accurately, but it is knocked off very easily. The on/off dial is too similar with the alignment adjusters and I've accidentally grabbed the wrong dial in the dark and threw off the alignment. But it is easy to reset. It can be very accurate if you fine tune it with a more powerful optic lens. The photos I took of the planets and moon were with my iPhone. The view was actually much clearer with just my eye. You can see the band around Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. I'd like to know what other people are using to get the much nicer images using this scope. Now that I have it, I wish I would have went the distance and spent the big bucks on a Celestron Advanced VX 6" f/8 Refractor Telescope. ... show more

  • Excellent scope for a novice astronomer
Well built scope that meets the needs of a novice astronomer. The supplied equipment lacks a moon filter which is a necessity for viewing. This should be purchased at the same time. The computerized locator is easy to use and easily set up. We have used the telescope half a dozen times since purchase and the entire assemblage is easily transported in and out of the house. Set up takes less than 5 minutes, however acclimation of the mirrors to the temperature requires a longer period (this is the same for any scope). I have purchased various eye-pieces and am working through the right combination. The stand is sturdy and well built. It can be adjusted to support multiple height requirements and uneven ground. Tracking of sky targets is smooth and the wired remote enables quick automatic movement to multiple targets enabling viewers to see several objects in a single sitting without long find and adjust times. ... show more

  • I find it a great starter telescope
Really drains AA batteries, get yourself a rechargeable lithium pack. some drift in the tracking mechanism, but can keep saturn somewhat in center view inside the eyepice, really good at finding stuff from built in memory catalog if you live in a dirty and illuminated sky city,. You wouldn't find it otherwise.. practical magnification limit,.. around 200x It would be awesome if focusing element was a fine adjust knob, as it is coarse it is not easy to focus on the high magnification settings if viewing something other than the moon and everything oscillates if you just touch the knob. Consider spending a lot of extra cash on eyepieces, accesories, adapters, filters,.. probably around 2000usd total cost. Wish for drop in components from the brand would be (1-electron HV photomultiplier image intensifier for low light, 2-autostacking long exposure photo camera, 3-spectrum analysis diffraction grating for determining star chemical compositions) Regarding this not coming straight from supplier with already a decent blister foam padded rolling case vs a cardboard box, that costs 1 star down in review ... show more

  • Much better than I was hoping for!
I am blown away. I have an extremely large telescope that was built in the 70s and weighs probably 400lbs. So I purchased this due to its portability and for the computerized tracking. What I thought was going to happen was, this wouldn't have as clean of a viewing experience but id like the weight. But no, this telescope was even better! The old telescope can definitely view deeper into space as it can collect alot more light. But this is still very impressive! I will suggest buying aftermarket eyepiecs. I see some other people posting their photos and I don't know if its the stock eyepieces or low quality camera or phone, but I was not impressed, and honestly thought the image quality would be the same for me. But I was wrong, its amazing. If you are thinking about buying it but hesitating because of those photos, just buy it. I assure you that it will knock your sock right off your feet! We happen to be having alot of smoke so I did capture some red moon photos so you can see what its capable of. I can zoom down deep into a single crater of the moon if I want and the tracking will hold it there for me to get some good videos/pix!! I am so impressed. Buy some eyepieces and you will see what I mean! ... show more
