Comments about Celestron Computerized Telescope 114LCM:
I purchased this for my 13 year olds birthday and found it to be challanging to setup and use. This is a new experiance for me and somewhat confusing. Not really as simple as the instructions say.
It arrived damaged because it is mainly constructed out of plastic. The mirror was good so I expoxied the viewfinder back on to avoid the hassle of a return. Works great now.
I gave it 4 stars due to the poor shipping container. It works as the describtion states. My child really likes it.

Comments about Celestron Computerized Telescope 114LCM:
I use the scope for viewing moon, planets and stars.
It is basic but good for a learner.
Care must be taken to align well or you'll be a bit out on tours and automatically finding planets and stars.
The remote features are good and fairly easy to master.
The telescope is designed around mainly automatic control through the remote as opposed to manual use.
It is good for seeing planets and I saw Jupiter and four of it's moons on my first night. Great for looking at the moon.
I think it was pretty good value for money.
I would however like a better spotting scope as this is the weakest link in my view.
