Our take on the National Geographic NG114mm Newtonian Telescope

The National Geographic NG114mm is a reflector telescope on a Newtonian design, aimed at beginners and families who want more light-gathering than a small refractor gives. Its 114mm mirror pulls in enough light for the Moon, planets and brighter deep-sky objects, and the EQ mount lets you track objects as the sky turns. Compared with department-store refractors of similar size, it shows more detail and less false color, but the mount and included eyepieces are basic and need patience to set up and align. It suits curious beginners willing to learn collimation and equatorial alignment rather than someone wanting a point-and-look scope.

Pros
  • 114mm aperture gathers noticeably more light than small refractors
  • Newtonian reflector design avoids chromatic aberration
  • Equatorial mount allows tracking as the sky rotates
  • Shows lunar craters, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons
  • Solid step up from a toy or 60mm starter scope
Cons
  • Equatorial mount is fiddly for beginners to polar align
  • Needs collimation of the mirror to stay sharp
  • Included eyepieces are basic and limit the best views
  • Tripod can feel shaky at high magnification
  • Not waterproof, so it must be kept dry and stored indoors

What reviewers say

Owners treat this as a capable first reflector that rewards some learning. They like the aperture for the Moon and planets but often mention the mount and eyepieces as the weak points.

What people mention
  • MountCriticisedOwners say the equatorial mount takes practice to align and can wobble.
  • OpticsPraisedReviewers report sharp lunar craters and visible planetary detail.
  • EyepiecesCriticisedThe bundled eyepieces are described as basic and worth replacing.
  • SetupMixedAssembly is manageable but collimation and alignment try beginners' patience.
  • BuildMixedThe tube feels solid, while the tripod is called shaky at high magnification.

Questions and answers

Is this a good first telescope?
Yes, if you are willing to learn collimation and polar alignment. It shows far more than a small refractor, but it is not a point-and-look scope.
What can I see with a 114mm reflector?
Lunar craters, Saturn's rings, Jupiter and its moons, and brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula under dark skies.
Does it need collimation?
Yes. Newtonian reflectors need the mirror aligned, and this one often arrives slightly out of alignment. A collimation cap helps.
Can I use it for astrophotography?
Only casually. The basic mount and lack of tracking motors suit short Moon shots, not long-exposure deep-sky imaging.
Is it waterproof?
No. Keep it dry and store it indoors; moisture and dust on the mirror hurt the view.
What comes in the box?
The optical tube, equatorial mount and tripod, finder scope and a couple of eyepieces. Check the exact bundle, since contents vary by seller.
Where is the National Geographic NG114mm Newtonian Telescope cheapest?
At Sam's Club, for $69.98, as of our latest check.
