Fun with the Natl Geographic NG114mm telescope

This is a very nice telescope. The pros: I was finally able to look at the stars and use the red dot view finder. The view finder allows you to lock in on and object and use that for reference. I have never used a telescope but found this one easy to use. It comes with two eyepieces, a 9.7 mm and a 26 mm. These eyepieces allow different magnifications for viewing “close” objects or looking for objects in the sky. There is an adjustment knob which allows a clear focus on your viewing subject. The stand is quite convenient by folding up when transporting or storage. There is also a tray in the stand for storing the different eyepieces. The cons: This telescope is not the strongest power for serious star gazers. Although I did enjoy using it. The tray in the stand does not accommodate the red dot lens. The instructions reference a dust cover but there is not one provided or where one can be obtained. All in all I liked it and would recommend buying one. My whole family enjoyed using it and showing their skills as an astronomer.

Take me to the moon!

A little difficult to focus @ first, but now I’m enjoying it!

Great value

Impressive telescope for the price. It looks beautiful, it is a nice size, and it was easy to assemble. All that said, I have yet to extensively use it but based on initial reaction, this is a very nice product.

Night sky never looked better

It was so exciting to get such an amazing view of the night sky. The stars were so clear that identifying them became a breeze. My 10 year old grandson was estatic and now claims he was yo study astronomy.

Don't drop

I dropped my Telescope bringing in from the porch. I am sure that I caused the mirrors to move. I have found a video that shows how to align them Haven't had a chance to do so yet, because it says give yourself time to get the job done

Needs better setup instructions!

Can not figure out how to set up correctly! Instructions are not clear. I'm really disappointed..i was looking foward to using this and getting some cool pictures. I guess I need to google some videos and figure the setup out.

Junk, do not buy.

Don't waste your money. Mine came badly out of collimation; very hard to get a clear view. Viewfinder is silly, and after three to fours hours of using the focuser cross-threaded and now the whole thing is useless.

Must have

This telescope is perfect! I got to zoom in on the planets last week, as well as the stars and the moon. I cannot wait to take this with me when i go adventuring the National Parks! Its the right size that wont take up to much room in my vehicle.

Nice product

I like the telescope but the instructions on how to put it together were not very clear. I have not actually used it yet because of the weather but I think it will be fun to use.
