PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The classic Newtonian reflector telescope, named after its inventor Isaac Newton, has been available on the market in this size and design for over three decades and has proven itself time and again. With an aperture of 114 mm, this telescope is significantly more light-sensitive than refracting telescopes in the same price range and is therefore preferred by beginners.
The Optics of the 114/900:
The 114mm mirror means superb planetary observing and fascinating excursions into the 'deep sky' are both possible. Discover the rings of the Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, or our neighboring planet Mars - in good conditions (when at opposition) you will be able to recognise larger surface features. The tube has a 1.25” focuser which can accept any standard eyepiece. The focuser has a focus wheel, allowing you to bring the object you are observing into sharp focus. You can first locate celestial objects with the finder scope fitted, and then position them in the field of view of the main telescope. The finder scope has crosshairs for precise centering of objects.
Already included in delivery:
- 25mm eyepiece, giving 36X magnification
- 10mm eyepiece, giving 90X magnification
- 6x30 finder scope for easy location of celestial objects
- 2x Barlow lens for doubling the eyepiece magnification
The advantages in a nutshell:
- 114mm aperture, so 2.5 times brighter than a 70mm telescope
- 1.25“ focuser
- optics can be collimated
Included in delivery of the mount:
- parallactic EQ-1mount
- tripod
- suitable counterweight
