Review: Beginner-Friendly, Mind-Blowing Views! - The Celestron 31042 AstroMaster 114EQ is everything I hoped for and more! 😍 As someone totally new to telescopes, I was nervous about the setup—but Celestron made it incredibly easy. The instructions were clear, and I had it up and running in under 30 minutes, no tools needed! This telescope is perfect for beginners who are curious and ready to experience something new. The image clarity blew my mind—moon craters, Saturn’s rings, even some deep-sky objects became real from my own backyard. It feels like having a personal window into space. 🌌🔭 Not only does it perform beautifully, but it looks sleek and professional too. It instantly made me feel like a legit stargazer. If you’re even slightly interested in astronomy or just want to see the universe in a whole new way, this is your sign to go for it. 💫 Huge thanks to desertcart for the fast shipping and seamless experience as always.

Review: Great scope! Meh eyepieces. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a Nikon D3200, Can we take photos with this telescope??**
A: I own a Nikon D3100 with adapters for this Telescope.It is best to obtain a Barlow Adapter and T-Ring Adapter.The Barlow Adapter will make focusing much easier and give a sharper image.You have to set ISO and Shutter Speed in your manual settings. There are no F-Stop settings with these adapters.I estimate the Celestron Telescope to have an f/8 to and f/6 speed.Good luck with the endeavor.

**Q: How far can you see**
A: IN A suburb close to Philadelphia with a lot of light pollution, I've been able to see the Andromeda galaxy (2 million light years) with my naked eye (when directly overhead).

I believe the question is how much this magnifies distant objects.  Understand with telescopes, magnification is entirely a function of the eyepiece, which can end up costing more than the telescope.  The distant eyepiece that comes with this is dim (due to the low cost).  The magnifier cylinder works, but reduces the brightness even more.  Because of the street lights around my house, I indeed have to use a dark cloth to shroud myself while viewing.

With this, you will be able to see the Galilean moons, zones and bands of Jupiter and its big red spot, the rings of Saturn and its moons (800 million miles away).  You will be able to separate many binary stars such as Mizar.  

With all that said, I do not recommend this unit.

**Q: Is this a 4" or 6" telescope?**
A: This is 4.5 inch reflector telescope. Nilesh Vayada - astronomer.

**Q: does this come with a tripod**
A: Yes, the tripod is included

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good if you don't know or expect much
*by K***D on July 24, 2010*

I bought this telescope so my daughter and I could look at the moon and a few planets while camping and it works OK. This is my first time with any kind of telescope so I didn't know what to expect. It's a little tedious to get the site and keep it there, it seems to want to creep. The included lenses, guess that's what they're called, are fair, they're clear but not as sharp as I hoped. The good news is we were able to find the moon within 10 min and the sight was pretty incredible. My daughter's only seven so she lost interest quick but she was happy with it and kept coming back for a few hours. I'm going to try a new couple lenses and hope that helps. All in all, I'm satisfied with the purchase.
