Discover space for less: Celestron 114AZ telescope now half price
Get the perfect beginner’s telescope at half price in this Black Friday Telescope Deal at Kohl’s (opens in new tab).
The Celestron 114AZ-SR telescope is now nearly 50% off (well, 49.09% to be specific), giving astronomy enthusiasts a whopping $108 off this already reasonably priced budget telescope.
This large 114mm Newtonian reflector telescope is beginner-friendly and comes with an accessory pack so you can set up and start stargazing right away.
A full height aluminum tripod stabilizes the telescope but remains lightweight for easy transport and comes with an accessory tray to store all your other goodies. The aforementioned extras include two 26mm and 9.7mm Plössl eyepieces with 1.25-inch mounts for specific observations of objects in the night sky, a StarPointer red dot finder that supports approximate locating, and a smartphone adapter.
The telescope is a manual push telescope, not computerized, so you might ask why there is a smartphone adapter built into Celestron 114AZ-SR (opens in new tab)? So you can take your own astrophotos, of course. Line it up to the adapter and your smartphone will turn the 114AZ-SR telescope into an astro camera ready to photograph the heavens.
With this smartphone, you also get free access to the SkyPortal mobile app and Starry Night software, which provides information on over 36,000 celestial objects in the night sky. So whether you’re rekindling old knowledge, want to learn something new while gazing at the stars, or just starting out for the first time, this telescope and kit should be able to open up a new part of the cosmos to you.
It should only take a few minutes to set up this telescope, and at just under 9 lbs, it won’t hurt your arm when you take it to the nearby dark sky either.
