Celestron Reflector Telescope (Astromaster 114) - LOCAL NOVA PICKUP ONLY

Description

The Celestron AstroMaster 114 reflector telescope is a great beginner telescope for an adult or older child. It’s 4.5” mirror will provide clear and bright images of the Moon, the planets, and dozens of deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy, the great star cluster in Hercules, and much more. The AstroMaster equatorial mount is easy to set up and requires no tools to do so. Unlike a simple alt-azimuth mount, an equatorial mount will allow your telescope to track objects as they move across the sky throughout the night. Tracking is done manually by turning the slow-motion adjustment cables. This telescope does not have any motors or automatic monitoring of any kind. In about five minutes you will learn how to follow the stars with this method. My son and I had a great time doing this on clear evenings.
Includes extremely sturdy metal tripod with a
ccessory tray
An adjustable metal tripod comes with this Celestron AstroMaster 114 reflector telescope. The 1.25” diameter legs can be lowered or raised via a simple lock knob located on each leg. The tripod feet are tapered to work well on any surface. A spreader bar pushes the legs outward and helps with stabilization, making the AstroMaster tripod a rigid and stable platform. The spreader bar doubles as an accessory tray, with 1.25” holes that accept your eyepieces.
