Superb Value for Money,
My boyfriend and I have recently acquired a sudden fascination with the universe. He’s always wanted a telescope and we started looking into getting one about a week ago.
All of the Celestron telescopes looked really appealing, especially the Astromaster range for their affordability. We were toying between the 130EQ and the 114EQ, eventually we choose the later for the difference in price weighed up against the specification.
We are so glad we bought this scope… the second night we had it, when the skies were clear, our first mission was to see the moon, and boy did we see it! The craters were so crisp, it blew my mind. Though we will certainly be investing in a moon filter, as the moon can be very bright, it will soon hurt your eyes.
We knew Saturn was visible that night, but being complete newbies we didn’t really know where it was, so we decided to try and point the scope at the brightest star near to the moon, turned out it wasn’t a star, but Saturn!!
You could clearly make out the rings, although small – don’t be fooled, this is a “budget” scope, you are not going to see Saturn at the same size of the moon, but we found it to be very crisp with the Astromaster 114EQ. To think that we were looking at something over 750 million miles away is just astonishing!
Our scope was perfectly collimated out of the box, though we gather this is not always the case, however there are instructions on how to test whether your scope is set up correctly in the manual.
We feel that for the amazing sights we have already seen in just one night, the scope has already paid for itself. The manufacturing quality is very good, the tripod and equitorial mount alone seem like pieces of kit that could easily sell for over £100 on their own.
A great scope for anyone thinking about delving into astronomy. I have yet to try any astrophotography with it, but there are attachments available to enbable you to attach your SLR directly to the eyepiece, I can’t wait!

Very impressed,
I think this is a brilliant telescope.
We’ve looked at the moon, Saturn and various ‘deep sky’ objects.
Sure the red dot star finder is hopeless but I replaced it with a little finder scope.
Very very good value for money.

Amazing,
As normal Amazon delivered my purchase within 2 days, which is great service. The Astromaster took about 30 minutes to put together with no real problems. I had to wait a further few days before trying it out because of the weather conditions. When I did at last try, I was lost for words. The Moon was the first, being the largest and easy to locate. I have looked at the Moon for many a year but having used the telescope I was sold. I am now waiting for another clear night to further my excitment. I would recommend this telescope to anyone thinking about starting to watch the night skies.
