Celestron NexStar 114 is a SLT computerized telescope a decent buy for a beginner?
Hello Rocketgirl - Well, I personally think you could do better. As the owner of a Celestron several years, I'm a little biased in their products. But in this case, almost half the money they are spending is for the team so you do not have to know where to look to find things. At the risk of offending you and maybe a bit of turbulent water with friends that I know disagrees with me I will tell you about the team go areas for beginners. 1. You will not learn the sky well if you use one of these fields type. You will not learn, and not devote the time and effort (which can be a pain in the neck) that actually need to know where things are there and what to expect in the search for them. This is part of the fun of amateur astronomy, once successful, and sacrifice is a great fun honest for the sake of instant gratification. 2. Computers are not easy to use. I have a Schmidt-Cassegrain, which is a bit more difficult to establish that most of the areas. However, regular can set up and find two or three goals at the same time a guy next to me is still insulting to and restart the Go because it aligned properly. Finally, he gets to work, and whirs and slews to see M42, or Saturn, or anything else anyone can see by looking up. 3. The money you spend on the team could go for better optics. You could probably multiply the light gathering power of the scope of a factor of four, leaving the team, "Go and make a smaller opening large. This is very important, because if you want to find things or enjoy looking at them - every time - must be seen. The team can do what he says, but can not collect more photons. Only openness rather than do that. You can find things without a computer - takes a little practice, but that's OK. But you can see more things without opening - and that is the purpose of the telescope computers. Press Go or I have a place to think - especially for people who know the sky, but have little time, or people who spends much time watching bad light pollution environments. But for a beginner - I think they are better off with an inch of aperture 8 and the computer does not - So you can see things rather than see the team find for you advice. By the way, goes to a local astronomy club is excellent. You should know what to expect in the eye and the cash register before buying. It might be different from what you think. Take your time. You should know what you want the area you are buying before you buy. Good luck and clear skies.

Orion SpaceProbe 3 Altazimuth Reflector Telescope
Sale Price: $99.99 |
DescriptionOrion's surprising little Spaceprobe 3 has been picked by independent reviewers as one of the best telescopes in its price class. Unlike similar telescopes seen in discount stores, Orion has refined the Spaceprobe 3 by paying attention to the little details, and that make this telescope a great value. The Spaceprobe 3 comes with an unusually complete set of accessories. The package includes two very good Explorer II eyepieces (25mm and 10mm), an adjustable altazimuth tripod, a good red-dot finder, a student edition of "The Sky" planetarium program, and a well written manual. The package even includes the tools you'll need to assemble the telescope and align the optics. The Spaceprobe 3 is a Newtonian reflector. That means it uses mirrors instead of lenses. Newtonians are primarily used for astronomy because the images are upside-down. Orion includes a collimation tool and good directions for aligning the mirrors. The reward for aligning the mirrors is seen in images that snap into sharp focus. My Spaceprobe 3 arrived properly aligned right out of the box. With its Explorer II eyepieces, this telescope consistently delivers fine views. Using the 25mm eyepiece (28x magnification) the Pleiades cluster is simply wonderful, showing dozens of stars. From a rural location with a dark sky, the Orion Nebula is a big ghostly glow, and when I zoom in with the 10mm eyepiece, the Trapezium resolves into four tiny pinpoints. The double star Gamma Andromeda becomes two beads of light, one gold, the other one pale blue. Moon and planet images are crisp, with none of the false color I see in low cost refractors. When I look at the Moon I see mountains and terraced walls inside the larger craters. With the 10mm eyepiece (about 70x), Saturn's rings are sharply separated from the planet, and I can even pick out the planet's shadow on the rings. The Altazimuth mount included with this telescope is light and easy to use; it may be the best choice for a young astronomer. If you want motorized tracking of the stars and planets, Orion's Spaceprobe 3 EQ is available with an equatorial mount, and Celestron sells essentially the same optical system with the computerized NexStar 76GT. -Jeff Phillips Pros: Best in class optical performance Two good Explorer II eyepieces Complete accessory package Cons: Small 76mm aperture Upside-down terrestrial images If you're looking for an affordable entry-level telescope for that beginning astronomy enthusiast, our SpaceProbe 3 Altaz is the perfect choice. Great for all-around stargazing, this highly portable, uncomplicated scope is just the right size and weight for the entire family, and just the right price for parents. This is a quality telescope, with a 3" (76mm) glass primary mirror mounted in a sturdy Neptune Blue Metallic aluminum tube. The rack-and-pinion focuser accepts standard 1.25" eyepieces. Two Explorer II eyepieces, a low-power 25mm (28x) and a high-power 10mm (70x), are included. An EZ Finder II finder scope mounted on the tube helps zero-in on the sky target. The altazimuth mount is lightweight and easy to use. To aim it, simply move it up or down or left or right. An adjustable, aluminum tripod with accessory tray is also included. One-year limited warranty. Features

The NexStar User's Guide
List Price: |
DescriptionMichael Swanson’s online discussions with literally thousands of NexStar owners made it clear that there was a desperate need for a book such as this – one that provides a complete, detailed guide to buying, using and maintaining NexStar telescopes. Although this book is highly comprehensive, it is suitable for beginners – there is a chapter on "Astronomy Basics" – and experts alike.Celestron’s NexStar telescopes were introduced in 1999, beginning with their first computer controlled "go to" model, a 5-inch. More models appeared in quick succession, and Celestron’s new range made it one of the two dominant manufacturers of affordable "go to" telescopes. |
