If you’re in search of a computerized telescope with the same star locating technology found on our more advanced telescopes at a price that fits your family’s budget, you’ll love the Celestron 114LCM with all glass optics. This computerized Newtonian telescope and its GoTo mount has been designed to automatically locate thousands of celestial objects with a simple push of a button on your NexStar+ hand control. Our proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure is simple to use, so you’re ready to explore the universe in minutes. The process starts by centering any three bright objects in your telescope’s eyepiece. From there, your LCM can calculate its position and orient itself to the night sky. The 114LCM is built with a lightweight computerized mount that makes this telescope compact, portable, and the perfect companion for star parties, camping trips, and impromptu backyard observing sessions. When the Sky Tour button is pressed, the LCM will populate a list of the best celestial objects visible at that moment in the night sky. The Celestron LCM telescope for adults comes with an adjustable aluminum tripod, two high-quality eyepieces (25mm and 9mm), and a StarPointer red dot finderscope. To enhance your experience under the stars, download Celestron’s free SkyPortal app. Listen to hundreds of audio descriptions of the most popular objects on your iOS or Android device while you observe them with your LCM telescope. The 114LCM Computerized Telescope includes a free download of our Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software for an interactive sky simulation. With the largest optics in the LCM series, this telescope for astronomy beginners has enough light-gathering ability to provide extraordinary views of all the best celestial objects. You can explore our Solar System, from the moons of Jupiter to the rings of Saturn, or deep space, from the Orion Nebula to the Pleiades Star Cluster and hundreds of other objects.
