Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ with Motor Drive & Phone Adapter Description

Discover our Solar System with the Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ! You’ll be ready to observe in minutes thanks to the quick and easy no-tool setup. The 114EQ provides bright, clear images of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more for great nighttime viewing.

This manual German Equatorial telescope features two slow motion control knobs that allow for precise adjustments in both Right Ascension and Declination axes, often referred to as RA and DEC. This makes tracking celestial objects a breeze, allowing even beginners to enjoy the wonders of the night sky without frustration.

The AstroMaster comes complete with a variety of accessories, including a 20mm and a 10mm eyepiece, a finderscope, a moon filter, a smartphone adapter, and a motor drive. The two eyepieces provide different magnifications for both low and high-powered views, making it versatile for various types of observations.

One of the standout features of the AstroMaster 114EQ is its included motor drive, which transforms the manual mount into a tracking mount. This motor drive compensates for the Earth’s rotation, ensuring that the telescope effortlessly follows celestial objects as they move across the night sky. This easy-to-install RA motor drive runs on a 9V battery, eliminating cumbersome cords and allowing for a clean, user-friendly experience. Whether you’re in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, switching the motor's direction is as simple as flipping a switch.

Capture stunning images of celestial and terrestrial objects with the smartphone adapter, which connects any smartphone to the telescope’s eyepiece. This adapter accommodates most phones, allowing you to document your astronomical adventures easily. Simply attach your smartphone over the eyepiece, tighten the knobs, and you're set to take breathtaking images of the Moon and planets.

Lastly, enhance your stargazing experience with Celestron’s Starry Night Software, which provides invaluable resources for learning about celestial objects and planning your next observing session.
