Celestron Short Reflector Telescope LCM 114

For straightforward, computerised observing, the Celestron LCM 114 reflector telescope brings together a 114mm Newtonian reflector, 1000mm focal length and a motorised alt-azimuth mount in one accessible setup. Within the first moments of use, the NexStar+ hand control and SkyAlign procedure provide automatic location of thousands of celestial objects, while the built-on StarPointer red dot finderscope helps with initial aiming.

Fully coated glass optics and the largest light-gathering aperture in the LCM range give this model strong visual reach for lunar, planetary and deep-sky observation. A full-height aluminium tripod is included, along with two eyepieces for 40x and 111x magnification straight from the box. Sky Tour can generate a list of currently visible objects, and the mount supports sidereal, solar and lunar tracking rates. With its beginner-friendly operation and substantial 114mm aperture, this telescope suits those starting out with a computerised astronomy setup.
