Meade 114mm A-Series Equatorial Reflector Telescope (114EQASTR) - Basic model but includes a special relay lens which shortens the tube length and yields a 1000mm focal length (f/8.8). Includes a somewhat smaller mount and tripod.
The large 114mm-diameter mirror gathers 361% more light than 60mm telescopes. Fainter, more distant objects can be seen in far greater detail. The beginning amateur who intends to use a manual telescope on a regular basis will find the equatorial mount to be a valuable investment.
Because the earth rotates once on its axis every 24 hours, celestial objects move rapidly through the telescopic field, particularly at higher powers. The equatorial mount of Meade 114mm A-Series Equatorial Telescope greatly facilitates object tracking, simply by manually turning one or both of the control cables.
The Meade 114mm A-Series Telescope are not intended for land viewing.
