The NexStar 114 Newtonian reflector has 265 times the light gathering power of the average human eye, revealing fine
detail within galaxies and nebulae. This compact design brings objects into view with a 114mm aperture, 1000mm focal length
capable of achieving magnifications of 40x and 100x with the included eyepieces.
Its large 4.5" diameter outshines
smaller scopes. Polar caps on Mars become visible along with the cloud belts on Jupiter. The rings of Saturn are clearly visible.
Most exciting is the wide variety of deep sky objects (stars, clusters, nebulae). Because of their optical design, reflectors are
best suited for astronomical use.
All you need to know is the general direction of North, your closest major city
(included in the instruction manual), plus the date and time, and you will be observing planets, stars and more within moments.
NexStar computerized telescopes are so straightforward, astronomers at all levels can locate over 4,000 pre-programmed
stars, planets, and other celestial objects right out of the box. Plus, fully assembled tripod ad pre-installed electronics make
set up quick (taking only seconds) and simple.
All of our NexStar Telescopes come equippped with 2- 1.25" eyepieces
and everything you need including the hand controller.
