Celestron likes to say, "the only simple thing about NexStar is its operation," and we have to agree. The sophisticated NexStar 114 GT is quite easy to assemble, even for a complete novice. Once you put the scope together and mount it on the sturdy aluminum tripod (also included), simply take the hand control with illuminated dual 16-character LCD display, and dial in the date, location, and position of north. Using its quiet, high-precision servo motor, the NexStar automatically aligns itself with the night sky. Less

Mars needs telescopes....

by brasshopper , Aug 14, 2003
Pros: Simple, complete (for the beginner).
Cons: You may want a bigger scope than 4.5".
The Bottom Line: Buy it! Especially at Costco's price, under $200.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The telescope is a beginner's telescope. First off, the previous reviewer noted that his instruction book was not complete for the 114. This has been changed by Celestron: The current telescope treats the 114 as a peer, and all the documentation is...

Potent Scope on A Lightweight Computerized Mount [Update 07/07/2009]

by Pirich , Nov 10, 2007
Pros: Potent telescope, light package is easy to move. Inexpensive for what you get.
Cons: Limited field of view. Power hungry.
The Bottom Line: The NexStar 8SE makes a larger telescope portable with computer guidance than any other package. It does a lot, works well, and is reasonably priced.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Compared to their diameter, the Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope (SCT) is the most compact design yet derived. Celestron, the company who pioneered their commercial manufacture forty years ago, made a breakthrough in 1970 with the C8, which was and...
