This telescope is great for beginners, providing good quality optics and a finder scope. However, it has a small field of view and the Barlow lens is of low quality. It is important to practice with each eyepiece during the day to figure out which lens to use and which one works best for closer, farther, and more distant viewing.

Celestron Explorascope 114AZ Telescope - Get an amazing view of the celestial world with the Explorascope 114AZ, a manual alt-azimuth, Newtonian reflector telescope with fully coated glass optics and a light-weight frame. With this telescope, you can see the planets, moon, star clusters and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy at night. It's light-weight (only 6.7 pounds total.) and compact size make it easy to take with you on the go. The set up is a breeze requiring no tools and only a few minutes to get started with your viewing. This is a manual alt-azimuth telescope meaning it rotates around a simple two-axis mount with an easy-to-use slow motion control rod and Alt-Az control with clutch for smooth and accurate pointing. It also comes with an adjustable tripod that enables you to customize the height or place it on uneven surfaces. Plus, you'll receive a number of accessories with the telescope including: Two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm) - The erect Image 20mm eyepiece for low power and an upright image or the 4mm eyepiece for higher magnification views. 3x Barlow lens - For even more magnification, connect your 3x Barlow lens to triple the power of each eyepiece. Combined with the Barlow lens, this telescope provides up to 150x magnification (20mm eyepiece) or 750x magnification (4mm eyepiece). Finderscope - The finderscope helps you quickly center an object in the eyepiece for easier observing. What's more? You have access to Celestron's Starry Night Software. Download the software to learn about the night sky, celestial objects, and how to plan your next observing session. This is a premier astronomy software package that will maximize your astronomy experience.
