    • Great scope! Meh eyepieces.
Style: AstroMaster 114EQ
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

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 Amazon for the fast shipping and seamless experience as always. If you’re scrolling through reviews trying to decide—this is the one. 👏 ... show more

    • Pretty good if you don't know or expect much
Style: AstroMaster 114EQ
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. ... show more

    • Excellent quality and makes a wonderful and unique gift
Style: AstroMaster 114EQ
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
