Celestron NexStar 114GT has an extremely convenient and easy operating system. Assembling the NexStar is simple even for novices. A sturdy aluminium tripod is part of the package. To use the telescope just use the controls on the illuminated dual 16-character LCD display, feed in the date, location and position of the north direction. The Nexstar telescope will automatically align itself towards the fed coordinates using its silent, high-precision servo motor.
