## Description

From our National Geographic series, the NT114CF Newtonian Astronomical Telescope is a perfect portal into the realms of lunar, planetary and deep sky observation. Offering a 114mm aperture and a 500mm focal length, the telescope comes with two Plössl eyepieces that produce magnifications of 19x and 51.5x to broaden the range of objects you can explore. The set includes a sturdy alt-azimuth mount with a panhandle control that allows you to smoothly track objects as they move across the night sky. The fully adjustable tripod with fit the height needs of the whole family and includes an accessory tray to keep eyepieces safe when not in use and to provide extra stability. Other accessories are a red dot viewfinder for locating objects in the night sky and a smartphone adapter that makes it easier to center your device's camera over the eyepiece to capture and share images. As an added bonus, this telescope set gives you access to downloadable astronomical navigation software and a downloadable star map. Just add clear, dark skies on a moonless night and a red flashlight to protect your night vision and you will be set to explore awe-inspiring celestial sights!

Review: This is a simple very basic Telescope but for the price you cant beat this deal. - The optical quality is quite good. I have an older same magnification telescope but a smaller aperture and I can clearly see that the new telescope collects more light as expected with its larger aperture. The Tripod is not the best and not very stable but again for the price I paid this is great value.
Review: Great value for the price. - For a low price this telescope delivers high end results at least in my opinion. I love looking at the moon and other planets and this takes good pictures with the cell phone attachment. I bought this one to give to a friend because we liked ours so much.

For a low price this telescope delivers high end results at least in my opinion. I love looking at the moon and other planets and this takes good pictures with the cell phone attachment. I bought this one to give to a friend because we liked ours so much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Image is good, red dot finder sucks
*by B***D on September 7, 2025*

I only bought it for the OTA, as I already had a better mount to put it on. I have no idea what the quality of the tripod and mount are, or how well they work. I only looked at a full moon through it, and am pleased with the image quality. My only complaint is about the red dot finder. It's so useless, they might as well not provide one. The glass or plastic, whichever it is, is horribly distorted so you can barely recognize what you're trying to look at. There are two adjustment screws to align it with the scope, but they couldn't bring it anywhere near being aligned. I'll keep the scope 'cause the image seems good, and I'll try to contact the seller about the red dot, maybe it's a defective one. I'll edit this if I'm able to contact them and get some resolution.
