### Product Description
Whether you’re an amateur astronomer or becoming more comfortable with using a
telescope, you’ll love the technology and user-friendly features packed into
Celestron’s PowerSeeker Newtonian Reflector telescope. The Celestron
PowerSeeker 114EQ is a powerful yet easy-to-use telescope. Our PowerSeeker
Series telescopes for astronomy beginners have been designed with a
combination of value, quality, power, and user-friendly features. They are
built to enhance the experience for beginners but are also exceptional for
mid-level experienced astronomers. This 114EQ telescope features powerful
magnification and easy-to-use controls that allow users to obtain crisp views
of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, and Jupiter’s Galilean moons.

The telescope’s sturdy and durable German Equatorial mount and slow-motion rod
deliver smooth and accurate pointing. Move the slow-motion altitude rod in an
up/down fashion to pinpoint and track your object. The 3x Barlow lens is added
to triple the magnification power of the included 20mm and 4mm eyepieces.
We’ve included an accessory tray to store accessories conveniently and a free
download of our BONUS Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software with
information on 36,000 celestial objects, printable sky maps, and more. The
software can be used on your Mac, PC or laptop. It’s the best way to learn
about the night sky and plan your next observing session. Additional
accessories include a tripod.

You can purchase this Celestron telescope with confidence from the world’s #1
telescope brand, based in California since 1960. You’ll also receive a 2-year
warranty and unlimited access to technical support from our team of US-based
experts.

Tom Johnson founded Celestron in 1960 after building a telescope to share the
night sky with his sons. Since then, Celestron has established itself as the
world’s #1 telescope brand. Celestron telescopes are used by scientists in
world-class research observatories and even aboard the International Space
Station.
### Amazon.com
I love bargains, so I was eager to try out Celestron's new Powerseeker 114
Newtonian reflector telescope. With its 4.5-inch mirror, Celestron's
Powerseeker 114 gathers three times more starlight than popular 60mm
refractors. The Powerseeker package includes two eyepieces (K20 and SR4), a
plastic 3x barlow, and a lightweight equatorial mount.
Optically, the Powerseeker 114 holds its own when compared with my Celestron
Firstscope 114EQ. Using the K20 eyepiece included as standard equipment, about
45x magnification, it's easy to see the Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller
satellite galaxy M32. When compared to 60mm refractors, the Powerseeker 114
brings out much more detail in the Orion Nebula, reveals many more stars in
Perseus' Double Cluster and even brings out a few individual stars in globular
clusters like M13. Saturn looks quite small at 45x with the K20 eyepiece, but
using my own 7.5mm eyepiece (120x) I can easily detect the shadow cast by the
planet on the rings, and even glimpse the ring's Cassini Division. When the
mirrors are properly lined up or "collimated," the images are reasonably sharp
up to magnifications of 225x. I find a collimation tool helps get this fine
tuning just right.
As good as the optics are, however, the effect of cost-cutting shows up in the
mechanical components. The focuser is plastic, the finder scope is plastic,
the rings that attach the telescope to the tripod are plastic. Even when the
tripod legs are clamped at their shortest setting, the telescope wobbles when
I try to focus at higher magnifications. Celestron's instruction manual
correctly recommends that most viewing be done in the range of 40x to 130x. So
what about that 675x magnification proclaimed on the box? I'd say it's not
worth the trouble.
Overall, the Celestron Powerseeker 114 is a budget priced telescope with good
optical performance, especially when using the low power K20 eyepiece. If
you're willing to spend a little more money, either Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 or
Celestron's Firstscope 114EQ will give you a sturdier mount, an improved
finder scope, and better eyepieces. Also, for about the price of the
Powerseeker 114, I like the dependable refractor design of Celestron's
Firstscope 70EQ. -- _Jeff Phillips_
**Pros:**
* Low cost
* Good optics
* Serviceable K20 eyepiece
**Cons:**
* Wobbly mount
* Difficult to collimate
* Plastic finder and focuser
