Review on 🌌 Explore the Skies with the Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ Newtonian Telescope – Perfect Starter Reflector Telescope with Fully-Coated Glass Optics, Adjustable-Height Tripod, and Bonus Astronomy Software Package by Andrew Agarwal

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not very impressive

Good build quality. Good looks and features and very easy to use. The laser finder doesn't turn off very well or even indicate that it's working, but that's my fault. The problem is that this is just a "regular telescope" so don't expect to see the most amazing things in the sky. I saw Jupiter, our largest planet, and all I could tell was that it was a perfectly spherical white dot, not a randomly shaped "starburst" white dot. You can't really see any details, only dots. Like every telescope I've ever looked through, except for huge domes on school trips. What fascinated all who looked into this telescope was its wondrous view. Moon. На самом деле видно намного больше, но это, вероятно, из-immediate д. Я смотрел на холмы Мэриленда, примерно в 20 милях от ближайшего уличного фонаря и загороженный горами in the dark. The best I could get. The sky looked clear, but I couldn't see the Milky Way with the naked eye and couldn't make out more than three levels of star brightness. I could see everything in Utah and Florida without a telescope, so it might be better in those regions. Worth getting for kids and anyone who likes to look up.

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • Some bugs
