Yes, you can! Partner this with a 2x or 3x 1.25” Barlow lens to double or triple the eyepiece’s magnification. Which filters can I use with the eyepieces?

Read on for my full review. Celestron Astromaster 114 review What are you buying? 1. 114mm reflector telescope

The Zhumell Z130, with significantly more aperture, better optics, better accessories and an easy-to-use Dobsonian mount. The problems don’t end here, though. The correctors in these scopes are incredibly cheaply made and aren’t remotely close to the right shape, being glorified cheap Barlow lenses. As a result, the 114EQ cannot achieve decent images even when well-collimated, which itself is hard to do. It has been a few couples of years I am into stargazing. But, was searching for a budget telescope ideal for the beginners. This telescope has come up as a result of my quest for the perfect telescope for the novice stargazer. Keep reading to know what I have found. 1. Performance

Well, times have changed, and now Celestron wants to market this telescope in science gift shops under the guise of terrestrial viewing. Terrestrial viewing really is not suited for a Newtonian! So they include a 20mm erect image eyepiece, which is of poor optical quality and is not really suitable for clear astronomical viewing. I recommend replacing the 20mm eyepiece with a nice 25mm Plossl, or at least a 20-25mm Kellner. The PowerSeeker mount comes with two slow motion control knobs that allow you to make fine pointing adjustments to the telescope in both Right Ascension and Declination axes, also referred to as RA and DEC.Maximum magnification – The magnification limit for the telescope. Beyond that, you won’t get any extra detail and you might even get blurriness. Magnification is determined by the focal length and the eyepiece being used at any given time. Here’s a calculator for it.

Also, an equatorial mount is a terrible idea for a beginner telescope. Most beginners have a relatively poor understanding of the motions of the night sky (something that can be improved by constantly observing the sky!). And you must have an understanding of such motions to correctly use the mount. Using it correctly also requires several minutes of setup and alignment.

Anything else you should know?

For the price, it’s a pretty good deal for anyone looking for a good quality entry-level telescope. Where to buy?
