This version of the 4½" Newtonian Celestron Telescope offers more portability than the standard longer tube Newtonian without sacrificing power or performance.
The short tube of Celestron Firstscope 114 EQ Short First Telescope 31041 is only 18" long and has a built-in correction lens, giving it all the focal length of the standard 114 EQ Telescope model-31044, while reducing aberrations.
The equatorial mount is quite stable, with setting circles and slow motion controls on both axes for easy, smooth tracking.
