National Geographic NG114mm Newtonian Telescope with Pan Handle

Nothing to tighten to make it stay in place.

Great telescope 🔭

I am honestly surprised at how difficult this telescope is to use. We have had telescopes in the past and have never had this many issues. The viewfinder is basically useless. It's very difficult to get anything in focus.  When we do manage to, the telescope typically falls. The tripod has numerous faults, and the telescope itself is big and bulky, and we are constantly fighting to keep it still under its own weight. This is definitely a pass. There are so many decent telescopes out there, but this isn't one of them.

Not for beginners or children, difficult to use!

It’s not the greatest. Can’t get it to focus on the mood.

It’s for looks

Rugged construction. However instructions leave a bit to be desired

Good Telescope for the Money

works ok but not very powerful , going to order 2x barlow

good but not powerful

The lunar eclipse was great through this telescope.  Very easy to put together.

Great Value

This telescope is EASY to use and a great value for your money.  Bought this for viewing the moon.  I saw the craters inside of craters with great detail.

Great Value!

Cheap flimsy toy. The knobs that tight the telescope in place are very flimsy and when you find the object and secure the telescope, the moment you release it it goes down half inch ( a mile in a telescope viewfinder) As for what is does when you actually manage to point when you want it, its not better than looking with binoculars

No value

I am an amateur astronomer. I thought i could use this small light weight reflecting telescope with a 4.5" parabolic mirror as a grab-and-go scope. I am dealing with lower back issues and am unable to use my much larger and heavier 12" SkyWatcher flextube dobsonian reflector telescope right now. The  problem i had with this National Geographic NG114mm telescope is that the focuser is of such low quality that i was unable to collimate the mirrors with a laser collimator in order to even bring Jupiter or Saturn into focus. If you plan on using this telescope for terrestrial viewing, it will work fairly well. Just know that the image you will see at the eyepiece will be upside down and reversed. An image rectifier eyepiece will fix this issue. I do not recommend this telescope for astronomical use.

Not recommended for astronomical use

On our first use, we were able to see Neptune. Worked beautifully. Using Google's free Sky Map app helped to identify it's location in the sky. Being that it was our first telescope, it took a little getting use to on knowing how and when to focus in or out but figured it out eventually. Basically, you want to zoom the focus in all the way but use the widest lens to find and center the object. Then switch to the more powerful lens and zoom the focus back out.
