The National Geographic StarApp114 combines a capable 114mm reflector with app-guided astronomy that identifies stars, planets, and deep-sky objects in real time — turning “what am I looking at?” into an answered question instead of a frustrating guess.

Features

• Integrated astronomy app — real-time star tracking and step-by-step observing guides on your smartphone, so you learn as you observe
• 114mm aperture — gathers enough light to show the Moon’s craters in sharp detail, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s moons, and bright deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula
• Two Plossl eyepieces (26mm and 9.7mm) plus 2x Barlow lens — four magnification levels from wide-field sweeps to close planetary views
• Panhandle alt-azimuth mount — smooth, intuitive tracking with a single handle, no learning curve
• Smartphone adapter — snap photos of the Moon and planets directly through the eyepiece
• Full-size adjustable tripod with accessory tray — stable platform with storage for eyepieces and accessories

Ideal For

• Beginners who want guidance — the app removes the guesswork from finding and identifying objects, making solo sessions productive from night one
• Parents and educators introducing kids to astronomy with an interactive, technology-enhanced experience
• Casual astrophotographers who want to capture and share Moon and planet shots without dedicated imaging gear
