Celestron 114 EQ Newtonian

Anyone have this scope? Thoughts on quality of it? Worth the purchase?

Hi pjfan,

I have had this scope for 2 years as my first scope. i've loved it.

I have just upgraded now to a 8" but feel the 114 was an ideal purchase as a beginers scope and taught me alot about the sky by not having a goto and also using a eq mount. i know alot of people on here also recomend a dob for learning the sky etc so may be worth looking at some of those also as you get more apeture for your £££ with a dob.

If you like the look of a 114 and it suits your needs then I would say go for it its a nice little bit of entry level kit.

Im debating wether or not to sell mine now ive upgraded. my wife tells me im not allowed to keep it but after the views ive had through it im finding it hard to want to part with it, but i know i will end up doing what im told!!!!
