Description
High-contrast manual equatorial observation defines the Celestron N 114/1000 Astromaster EQ Telescope, a Newtonian reflector with an integrated corrector lens, 114 mm aperture, 1000 mm focal length, and listed f/8.77 optical ratio. Its CG-2 German equatorial mount uses setting circles and flexible slow-motion controls, while the 20 mm erect-image eyepiece, 10 mm eyepiece, StarPointer finder, steel tripod, accessory tray, and Starry Night software provide the principal components for visual observation.
The verified manufacturer configuration identifies the AstroMaster 114EQ as a spherical-primary Newtonian reflector with an aluminum-coated mirror and silicon dioxide protective layer, rather than relying on the parabolic description in the supplied data. The package includes two eyepieces, a built-in erect-image corrector in the 20 mm eyepiece, manual equatorial controls, and a full-height steel tripod for lunar, planetary, cluster, and selected deep-sky viewing.

Manual Equatorial Sky Tracking
The supplied application focuses on manual tracking of lunar features, planets, star clusters, and selected bright deep-sky targets, with the 1000 mm focal length supporting the listed long-focus reflector configuration while the CG-2 mount provides setting circles and mechanical slow-motion adjustment on the right ascension and declination axes.
Why Choose Celestron N 114/1000 Astromaster EQ
This model is a suitable choice when a buyer wants a 114 mm reflector with a 1000 mm focal length, manual equatorial controls, integrated upright-viewing correction, two supplied eyepieces, StarPointer finding, full-height tripod support, and a straightforward setup for visual lunar and planetary observation.
- Long 1000 mm focal length for the listed visual configuration
- CG-2 equatorial mount with setting circles and slow-motion controls
- Two eyepieces, StarPointer finder, tripod, tray, and software included
Celestron 2-Year Limited Warranty
The supplied product information lists a 2-year limited warranty for this telescope, and buyers should confirm the current US warranty terms, optical coverage, mount support, registration requirements, included accessory coverage, and authorized service process before purchase because current AstroMaster listings may differ from older product data and regional packages.
