Description
Discover the Wonders of the Night Sky with the Orion Observer 114mm Equatorial Reflector Telescope
Embark on an astronomical adventure from the comfort of your backyard with the Orion Observer 114mm Equatorial Reflector Telescope. Designed with beginners in mind, this telescope is the perfect gateway to exploring the moon, planets, and beyond.
Compact Powerhouse: With a substantial 114mm optical diameter and a short 500mm focal length, this reflector telescope packs a powerful punch. The f/4.4 focal ratio ensures bright, wide-field views, making it ideal for observing deep-sky objects.
High-Quality Optics: The parabolic optics are made of high-grade soda-lime plate glass with aluminum and silicon dioxide coatings. This combination provides clear, crisp images with minimal distortion. The telescope comes with two Plossl eyepieces (25.0mm and 10.0mm), offering 20x and 50x magnification to reveal celestial details.
User-Friendly Features: The reflex sight finder scope makes locating objects a breeze, while the 1.25″ rack-and-pinion focuser allows for precise adjustments. The equatorial mount facilitates smooth tracking of objects as they move across the sky, and the dual slow-motion cables provide fine control over the telescope’s movements.
Durable and Portable: Constructed with a steel optical tube and an aluminum tripod, the Orion Observer is both sturdy and lightweight. The dovetail saddle enables easy attachment and detachment of the optical tube assembly (OTA), and the center-marked primary mirror aids in quick collimation.
Expandable and Adaptable: While the telescope comes ready for night-sky exploration, it’s also compatible with a clock drive (sold separately) for automatic tracking. The setting circles help in locating objects by celestial coordinates, and the dovetail bar system ensures compatibility with a range of accessories.
Whether you’re a novice stargazer or a seasoned observer looking for a portable option, the Orion Observer 114mm Equatorial Reflector Telescope is a stellar choice. With its quality optics, user-friendly design, and robust construction, it promises countless nights of celestial discovery.
