    • Great scope! Meh eyepieces.
Style: 114EQ Newtonian Pattern: Telescope
The telescope is fantastic with great potential. Pulls in an abundant amount of light. Moon looks stunning and I saw jupiter... sort of. I was able to focus it in and even sorta make out the gaseous nature of the planet, and I saw one of the moons. Blurry though at high magnification. All in all, is it worth the price? Definitely! But you'll do yourself a favor making the extra investment Buying an eye piece kit. If you want to see planets, Plossl eye pieces would be the way to go along with light filters. It's difficult but doable to make out the gasses on Jupiter but to really pull in it's detail, you'll need filters. High quality eye pieces like Plossl will be my next purchase so I can push this scope to it's limits which seem far beyond what the included eyepieces can offer. Oh yes, the star finder thingy. It's like using a red dot scope on a riffle. It's a bit of a pain to use but sight it in on a terrestrial object (land) far away first, converge the two dots and it'll put you right on that object. I used it to find Jupiter and it worked well. It took less than a minute to align the scope on it so it did it's job. The tripod. It works nice and all but very shaky. Basically, you have to center it in and don't so much as breath on it and look through the scope. Kinda a pain when you have to touch it to keep it tracked in as the object moves away as the earth spins. Anyways, good beginner set up. Get a high quality eyepiece set to take it to the next level. I gave it Five stars because the Scope for the Money you pay is just Fantastic and this could be an Excellent set up with the high quality eyepieces, filters, and maybe a sturdier tripod if that's an issue for you. ... show more

    • Excellent quality and makes a wonderful and unique gift
Style: 114EQ Newtonian Pattern: Telescope
Knowing almost nothing about telescopes, I did quite a bit of research before buying this telescope as a surprise birthday present for my husband. I considered ones that ranged from $130-300 before ultimately deciding on this one. Pros: - Easy and actually fun to assemble. However, the picture instructions provided are difficult to read and it seemed that some steps were glossed over. - Versatile - can be used for land or astronomy. My primary purpose was for astronomy, but since we live near the water, it's nice to have something that also works for seeing boats off in the distance. - Really sharp looking! It's always difficult to tell from the photos how the product will actually look. In this case, I think the photos were less impressive than the real thing. - Comes with 2 eyepieces (20mm with 50x magnification and 10mm with 100x) - 2 year warranty, covers defects and damage from normal wear and tear - Tripod is sturdy enough to sit on thick carpet or outdoors with no issues - Not designed for travel, but after seeing it fully assembled, I think it would be fairly easy to bring on a short road trip to the mountains. The tripod retracts for easy storage - Comes with manual and software that helps you identify stars/constellations and planets Cons: - The declination cable seemed a little bit wobbly, a minor thing, but felt like it detracted slightly from the overall quality - Not computerized -- but depending on how you look at it, that also means one less thing to break My husband loved it and immediately took it outside to use it right after we finished assembling it. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Excellent for the money, and the spotting scope provides some humor
Style: 114EQ Newtonian Pattern: Telescope
Lots of reviews already for this, and I won't bother with a ton of details. For the money, it's the best scope I've used, ever. It's not perfect, but for my 8 year old son, it's a wonder. PROS: Easy set up, light, very portable, excellent images. Excellent brightness of even faint, distant objects. This thing really does produce very bright, vivid images. Moons of Jupiter? You bet. Bands of Saturn? Sure, under ideal viewing conditions. And the moon, wow. Super crisp and vivid - and you do need the moon filter for that, it really should be included (mentioned as a CON, below). Color is really great, too...there's enough light gathered that colors are surprisingly distinct. I'm having a lot of fun with it, and my boy is, too - again, very good viewing for the money. CONS: Breathing hard on the thing, much less working the focuser roughly, will throw you off target. Steady hands, go slowly, light touches. The tripod is adequate, but even the slightest wobble or position shift will require re-finding your target. As long as the tripod is on a solid base (concrete, firm deck, whatever), it's fine. In the grass? Not so good. The spotting scope is not completely useless, but close. If you're very precise lining up the dots, and holding your head steady, and have perfect vision, it WILL get a single star somewhere in the viewing field. Larger objects are easier to find. But be prepared to spend 5 minutes fussing with it every time you change your target. Still, it gets the job done if you're very careful and precise with it. There's quite a bit of play in the adjustment knobs, so fine tuning something into the center of the field takes a steady hand. Treat the knobs as you would a kitchen timer or barbecue grill flame knob, and you'll do better. Turn a knob a bit past your desired position until you take up the "slack", then turn back the direction you want to go while there's good tension on the knob. Works much better that way. With a DSLR attached to the optional camera mount, you get very impressive photos...but again, you need a very steady hand. I use the remote to snap the shutter, because just touching the camera body to press the shutter button can throw my image off. The moon filter is necessary, really, but you have to buy it separately [Celestron Telescope Moon Filter - 1-1/4" 94119-A]. ... show more
