The ExploraScope 114AZ is a 4.5-inch Newtonian reflector on a simple alt-azimuth mount, aimed at beginners who want real aperture without a steep learning curve. Its 114mm parabolic mirror and 1000mm focal length (f/9) give sharp lunar and planetary views and enough light for bright deep-sky targets like the Orion Nebula and Pleiades. It is a step up from small 70–80mm starter refractors in light gathering, though it needs collimation and a steady surface. Owners rate it well as a first serious telescope, with the mount and included eyepieces the usual weak points.

The Celestron ExploraScope 114AZ is a 4.5-inch Newtonian reflector telescope designed for beginners. It has a 114mm parabolic primary mirror, a 1000mm focal length and an f/9 focal ratio. The mirror gathers 265 times more light than the unaided human eye. The optics are fully coated for bright, contrasty images with minimal internal reflections.
It can be used for viewing the Moon, planets and star clusters, as well as distant objects on land during the day. The manual alt-azimuth mount has a pan handle with a clutch for moving the scope left, right, up or down, like a camera tripod. It needs no motor drives or power.
Setup needs no tools. The whole telescope, including the tripod and accessories, weighs 6.7 pounds. It comes with two eyepieces, a 3x Barlow lens, a red dot finderscope and an aluminum tripod with an accessory tray.
