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

  • Best Beginner Telescope
I may readjust the review later. Got this as birthday gift for my 11 year old space enthusiast. It is a well built telescope with really good quality. As beginners who have no clue on how to use telescopes, we are still learning a lot. You will have to watch a lot of youtube videos before using it. Celestron have their own videos also on youtube. The first time we used it, I was almsot sure I will return it. Could not see anything other than the dark sky. Learned about the finder scope and how to adjust it after going through a lot of videos. Adjusting it is not easy and requires patience. Which is true for space enthusiasts anyways. We still can't make the automated function work for us mainly because adjusting the finder scope is not an easy task. I would love for this to come with video instructions on how to use. So far we are able to see the moon and mars with its moon. The quality is very good. Will be investing in getting a good quality phone mount to make the viewing easy. I wish the software can also live cast the viewing. But for sure per my experience it is beginner approved though please be patient and watch a lot of videos. ... show more

  • You Can Set it Up & Use, Thumbs Up
Have collimated and set up focus finder without much hassle. This is my first telescope as an adult, difficulty level to do these is minimal, just do your research. YouTube has great examples on how to set up the various aspects of the telescope; wouldn’t recommend a child do it though. Will update with moon pictures soon. So far very impressed with this telescope. Motor is smooth, the tripod is not great but functions. Adding weight could help with wobbles. UPDATE: First night out and had some clouds but got great pictures of the moon. Shot with iPhone. Telescope performed great. Second night out I was able to see various planets, most stunning was Jupiter and it’s four moons. Alignment was easy, I used a single planet alignment which took less than two minutes and it tracked well. Note: I used a Celestron 24mm-8mm adjustable lense, a 2x Barlow, and a phone mount. ... 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
