Celestron Nexstar 114computerised scope

The price has come down a lot, I'm guessing because they have a newer model
out, the 130GPS priced around $500 or less. It will save you a lot of time
aligning your scope. But, you really can't beat the price of the 114GT now.
Less than $200! That's a steal!

Has anybody had any experience with the above scope. Is it any good or is
it considered rubbish?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the good advice. Have just ordered a 114 from ebay for £130
including delivery etc. Hopefully I will have it for the weekend.

cheers

Although I haven't had a chance to use it yet because I won't have it until
Wednesday, I bought it for 160 US dollars. Costco had a special of $199 and
a $40 coupon. I checked out the site cited below and I guess this was a
pretty good deal. This is a 114GT Celestron.


yeah, right.



Just to confirm: Costco had a special coupon for the 114GT Celestron the
last week of August for only $159. That's the complete standard 114GT
including the GoTo mount and tripod, two eyepieces, red-eye finder scope
and optical tube assembly.

Really quite a deal.

Thanks Greg for the confirmation. I felt the stabbing sarcasm of the "yeah,
right" comment. I have the scope now and am learning to use it.
