    • Low end telescope.
Size: 114 LCM Newtonian
First, I would like to say Amazon did me a solid. I received this one on 6/6 but due to some health issues and these extremely HOT temperatures it sat unopened for about 5 weeks. Past the return window. After I explained my issues, they let me return it for a full refund and even a UPS pickup. Now to the scope. It was pretty easy to set up. The finder scope is not the best anyway but for a person with a very bad back it was pretty much impossible to use. I am tall and trying to bend over and get my head turned sideways wasn't going to happen. To make it even worse there is no way to effectively upgrade it without drilling holes in the tube which I was not going to do. Next after getting I did some research I should have done earlier. Keeping the Newtonian design collimated looks like a lot of work. What I could see was blurry, couldn't get it into focus and the magnification wasn't great. I know some of the people on the FB groups are elitist snobs or 12-year-old kids trolling but I wish I had taken their thouths on it more to heart. They did get me to doing reviews from websites and a good review was rare. Spend as a few extra bucks. This might keep kids entertained for a while, but I suspect not for long. ... show more

    • Easy to setup and use, love the auto tracking, bummed about the optics.
Size: 114 LCM Newtonian
This scope was very easy to setup, the laser view finder scope was a little tricky to find the sweet spot to view through it. The Sky Align feature is way cool, once set the telescope can track and go-to any object in the system's database. When observing stars and planets, the LCM will keep the object dead on in the field of view. SO much easier than the older manual systems. The only issues I had with this scope was the High power optic was not very good and the eyepiece focus mechanism was too sloppy to get a consistently clean focus. Will be returning and likely to order another later. ... show more

I know little about telescopes. Bought this with high expectations. Turns out seeing stars and counting rocks is hard. Set up was easy. Great view of closer objects. Easy to navigate and clear image.

They make you wait around 25 days to get your money back, or even a replacement. It doesn't matter how much money you spend with them or if you have a 100% track record on your previous returns, because they monitor, it doesn't matter it you spend ten thousand dollars a year with them. You are still a number. The telescope sucks too ... show more

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

Set up was pretty easy and the first time we used it was a very good experience. It was then stored in our kitchen. Second time we were going to use it and we found that the motor mount in pieces (see photo) it was out of warranty and passed the return date to Amazon but on seeing the damage, Amazon made it right. I see that this has happened to others, having read the reviews. Please think again about this. I think that the scope is just too heavy for the mount. ... show more

    • Great for viewing as far as Saturn
Size: 114 LCM Newtonian
Easy to assemble, once scope is aligned, you hit the target every time. Can't get the auto alignment to work right after 5 attempts, but it gets fairly close. Pretty sure it's user error. Amazing what it's able to pull in. HIGHLY recommend for beginners. Literally point and shoot. Put the red dot on the target and, if properly aligned, nails it every time. ... show more

Had purchased this for my wife’s birthday. We were finally able to set it up a few nights ago. Bad fires in Montana made for poor viewing. Left it set up to use again and the computer base that’s motorized broke!! Cannot get through to celestron customer service and now have a $400 hunk of garbage in my house!! Addendum: After talking with Amazon customer service about issue they were able to get the product replaced. They took the time and listened to understand the problem. Jose was a great rep and solved the issue. Celestron also called back after leaving call back number and we’re kind enough to get an email address if we should have any further issues. ... show more
