Celestron AstroMaster 114 EQ Equatorial Reflector Telescope 31042 is a great telescope that is for celestial viewing. The Astro Master 114 EQ Telescope by Celestron produces bright and clear images of the Moon and planets through the telescope 's Fully Coated Lens. The Reflector Telescope has a generous sized 114mm Mirror, making it a great medium-sized telescope that will allow the user room to grow in astronomy. The 114 mm Mirror will also provide enough light to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn, star clusters, and nebulae. These Celestron Telescopes come with two telescope eyepieces of 50X and 100X magnification, which can pull in objects both near and far away. Celestron AstroMaster 114 EQ Telescopes have an Equatorial Mount that allow the user to follow objects in the sky much easier than an Altazimuth (Alt-az) Mount. Equatorial mounts use a set of counterweights that balances the telescope as it moves, making the movement more smooth. This is also very effective in high magnifications, when the smallest nudge of the telescope will greatly affect the viewing area. In addition, these Celestron AstroMaster Telescopes have the Reflector design, which is favored by astronomers with their more advanced setup and controls, when compared to a Refractor Telescope. These Telescopes come with a Tripod with 1.25" thick steel legs, providing a rigid and stable platform. These features of the Celestron AstroMaster 114 EQ Equatorial Reflector Telescope 31042 make it a great telescope for serious beginners and intermediate users.

The Celestron AstroMaster 114 EQ Equatorial Reflector Telescope 31042 is also available with an Altazimuth Mount (Model #31043)
