Get the same star-locating technology found in observatory-grade telescopes, the 114LCM. Even if you’ve never used a telescope before, Celestron® makes it easy to get started with amateur astronomy. This computerized telescope can locate thousands of celestial objects automatically. Browse the hand control’s database and select any star, planet, galaxy or nebulae in the database. Within seconds, the LCM centers it in the eyepiece and tracks it as it moves across the sky. Pressing the Sky Tour button prompts LCM to generate a list of the best celestial objects currently visible.
