This fully equipped, compact tube reflector telescope offers immediate, out-of-the-box celestial viewing. Utilizes the best of today's technological advances coupled with Celestron's long standing tradition of optical excellence.
The NexStar 114LCM includes the NexStar Computerized Hand Control as standard equipment. This "smart" hand controller contains a menu-driven database of over 4000 objects. Push a button and the telescope automatically finds and maintains the selection in the telescope's field of view.
Special Features:
The NexStar 114LCM Newtonian reflector has 265 times the light gathering power of the average human eye, revealing fine detail within galaxies and nebulae. This compact design brings objects into view with a 114mm aperture, 1000mm focal length capable of achieving magnifications of 40x and 111x with the included eyepieces.
Its large 4.5" diameter outshines smaller scopes. Polar caps on Mars become visible along with the cloud belts on Jupiter. The rings of Saturn are clearly visible. Most exciting is the wide variety of deep sky objects (stars, clusters, nebulae). Because of their optical design, reflectors are best suited for astronomical use.
