Experience observatory-grade star locating technology without breaking the bank with the 114LCM telescope.
Automated Sky Scanning
Ditch the traditional star charts; the 114LCM comes with automated celestial object detection. Just engage in a straightforward SkyAlign setup by focusing on any three bright celestial objects through your eyepiece. Once aligned, your telescope self-calibrates and synchronizes with the night sky, considering the current time, date, and location.
Navigate the hand controller's expansive database to select a star, planet, galaxy, or nebula. Your telescope will quickly align it in your eyepiece and keep it in focus as it journeys across the sky. For fresh observing ideas, tap the Sky Tour button and get an automated list of the most captivating celestial sights currently visible.
High-Quality Optics for Sharp Views
The 114LCM boasts the most powerful optics in the LCM entry-level telescope range, giving it superior light-capturing capabilities. This enables you to view breathtaking details in our Solar System, from Jupiter's moons to Saturn's rings and even more distant objects like the Orion Nebula or the Pleiades Star Cluster. It also offers a close-up look at the Moon’s craters in stunning detail.
Beginner-Friendly Setup
New to telescopes? No worries. Celestron ensures an easy start to your astronomical journey. Your 114LCM package includes an adjustable aluminum tripod, a pair of quality eyepieces, and a red dot finderscope. Plus, it’s all covered by a 2-year warranty from Celestron.
To enrich your night sky experience, download Celestron's complimentary SkyPortal app. You can enjoy narrated audio guides for hundreds of popular celestial objects on your iOS or Android device as you observe them.
Expandable and Future-Proof
As your stargazing skills evolve, your 114LCM can adapt. Consider enhancing your setup with additional eyepieces or a Moon Filter as you become more acquainted with the hobby.

| Solar Warning |
- Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
- Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
- Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
