Celestron - 114mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope - Silver/Black

Yes, the 114mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope is powerful enough to reveal Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands and four of its brightest moons, Venus' phases, and subtle features on Mars during a favorable opposition. With its 9mm eyepiece (111x), you will also see a lot. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron

8 user supplied AA alkaline batteries are required, or you can use an external Celestron PowerTank Lithium battery.

The LCM 114mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope comes with a preprogrammed computerized NexStar+ hand control to operate, so no memory card is necessary. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron

Basic Smartphone Adapter, 1.25” Item #: 81035

Yes, you can certainly hold your smartphone directly up to the telescope's eyepiece to snap photos. It should work well for terrestrial and lunar targets.
