Review: Quality scope yet affordable for most folks - I purchased this new from desertcart about 6-7 years ago. I don't remember the purchase price other than it was very reasonable for what was advertised (probably around $100.00). The only problem with it was with the finder scope. It was mounted crooked making it impossible to use for getting the tube aligned with the object you wanted to view. No problem, I was able to fix that. Aside from the poor quality control allowing that to pass by, the rest of the scope is magnificent. Please keep in mind what this scope is and what it is not. It is not going to perform like a Celestron 8" no matter how hard you wish that to be true. However, this scope will allow you to view celestial objects in a manner that is not only fun, but also educational. I was not disappointed in what this scope allowed me to do. From experience, I knew what to expect from a scope at this level. I agree with another reviewer's comment that this really isn't a beginner scope (although it could be). But it is more of an intermediate scope. There is a bit of learning involved to set it up correctly. If you take the time to do so, then you are likely going to enjoy the fruits of your efforts with this telescope. The optics are fine. The construction of the tube is quite acceptable. The mount is extraordinarily robust and perfectly functional. The tripod, especially for a telescope in the price range I paid for it, is stout and holds the mount and scope very steadily. Because the eyepiece that comes with it is 1.25", I was able to use other 1.25" eyepieces I have for more magnification. In short, this telescope works very well and is built well for the price I paid for it. The iPhone holder to mount to the eyepiece is really cheap. I wouldn't dare chance using it at the expense of my phone getting dropped. But I didn't buy the scope for that anyway. Overall this is a nice scope. Accept it for the class of telescope it is. Learn how to set it up and use it. Then take it outside and enjoy the heck out of it. Over 6 years of fun with mine with no plans or thoughts to upgrade, because it performs just fine for me.

Deal *by V***4 on January 4, 2019* My mom loves her new telescope we got it for her for christmas. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NICE FOR THE PRICE *by R***C on November 2, 2024* Bought this scope around black friday time for 99.00 I have several scopes from spotting to a 10 inch dob from explore sci. as well. In fact this scope is similar to small version of my explore dob. For the price it is my favorite scope. Did not have any of the problems others mentioned in the reviews. When i saw the mount for the first time, i thought it looked like cheap plastic, but it is mostly aluminum and works very well. smooth but solid, stays where you aim it. If you are looking for a lower priced 4 inch reflector. This is the one. Especialy if you can get a lower price... ## Frequently Bought Together - Explore Scientific FirstLight 114mm Newtonian Telescope with EQ3 Mount (White) - Mounted Telescope for Adults Stargazing - Observation Telescope and Astronomy Telescope - Explore Scientific Astro R-Lite Red Light Flashlight --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/83068480-explore-scientific-firstlight-114mm-newtonian-telescope-with-eq3-mount](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/83068480-explore-scientific-firstlight-114mm-newtonian-telescope-with-eq3-mount) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
