Celestron 114LCM Computerised Reflector Telescope with 4,000 Object Database
The Celestron 114LCM is a computerised reflector telescope 114mm in aperture, built for curious families and beginners who want the telescope to find objects for them. Its motorised mount and on-board computer locate targets automatically. They then track each one through the evening. Choose from the 4,000 object database on the hand controller, or let the Sky Tour pick the best sights for your location and time.
Go-To Precision Instead of Guesswork
Manual telescopes leave beginners nudging the tube around and losing a target within seconds as the Earth turns. The 114LCM uses Celestron's built-in SkyAlign technology for set-up, then its computerised altazimuth mount slews to your chosen object and follows it. The Newtonian reflector uses a mirror to gather light through its 114mm aperture, which suits deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae, with light gathering power of 265 times the human eye. Fully coated optics, a 1000mm focal length and two eyepieces complete a capable starter package.
Optics and Electronics Combined
- 114mm Newtonian reflector: a larger aperture gathers more light for faint deep sky targets beyond our solar system.
- Two eyepieces included: 25mm and 9mm eyepieces give 40x and 111x magnification for the Moon and planets.
- 4,000 object database: select targets on the hand controller or follow the automated Sky Tour for your location.
- Aluminium tripod: sets up in minutes with no tools, and The SkyX First Light Edition software is included.

For Curious Families and Rising Astronomers
Set it up on the patio after dinner and let the Sky Tour move between the Moon, the planets and brighter nebulae in turn. It can also view land-based objects, so it earns its place on cloudy days as well.

FAQs
Q: Is a reflector harder to look after?
A: Reflectors need a little more care than refractors because the tube is open at the front. Keep the dust cap on when not observing, store the telescope somewhere dry, and handle the tube gently when moving it.
Q: Can I use it during the day?
A: Yes. The 114LCM is best for astronomy, but Celestron notes it can also view land-based objects. Never point any telescope at or near the Sun without a proper certified solar filter fitted.
Q: How quickly will my telescope be sent?
A: We arrange swift UK dispatch after your order, with a dependable courier service bringing it to your door. Tracking details are emailed once it has been collected, so you can watch for clear skies.
