The package includes a new version of Celestron CG-2 equatorial mount with a rugged steel tripod. Two eyepieces are included, the 20mm eyepiece is an erect-image design with 50x magnification and the 10mm eyepiece produces 100x magnification. The AstroMaster 114 EQ also features a built-in red dot-finder, fully illustrated instructions. The box includes a student version of “The Sky” astronomy software to help you find stars and planets.
The AstroMaster 114EQ is a modified Newtonian design. Using the short focal length primary mirror and built in corrector lens, the AstroMaster 114EQ has an effective focal length of 40-inches (1000mm) inside a tube only 18-inches long. The 20mm eyepiece (50x magnification) nicely frames the Moon, and daylight images are sharp with plenty of contrast. The 10mm eyepiece (100x magnification) does a nice job zooming in on lunar craters & the planets. With the 10mm eyepiece or with 6mm eyepiece (166x) one can clearly focus in on Saturn’s rings and can pick up greater details.
With the help of Celestron’s fully illustrated quick set-up guide it took only a few minutes to assemble the equatorial mount and clamp the optical tube in place. The whole telescope is compact enough to carry outside in one trip. Aligning the telescope is a simple matter of pointing the equatorial axis at Polaris, the North Star. One can easily track the motion of stars and planets by simply turning one slow motion knob. The AstroMaster 114 EQ seems quite stable on its CG-2 mount, a little wobble while focusing damps out quickly.Features: Celestron Astromaster 114EQ Reflector Telescope
