Skywatcher Telescope N 114/500 1145P Starquest EQ

Telescope N 114/500 Starquest

The N 114/500 Starquest wide-field Newtonian reflector telescope combines powerful optics, high portability, and intuitive operation. Featuring a fast 114mm aperture, this compact instrument provides bright, sharp images of the Moon, planets, deep-sky star clusters, and nebulae.

Key advantages

• High-Quality Parabolic Optics: Parabolic primary mirror with a protective quartz layer and 94% reflectivity delivers sharp images without spherical aberration.
• Stable Starquest Equatorial Mount: Features precision 122-tooth worm gears on both axes and powerful clutches for high stability.
• Effortless Object Tracking: Flexible slow-motion cables allow smooth tracking of celestial objects by turning just one axis.
• Lightweight & Portable: Metal optical tube weighs only 2.5 kg, making the entire setup easy to transport for field observations.
• Complete Starter Kit: Includes two 1.25" eyepieces, a Red Dot finder, a smartphone adapter, and an aluminum tripod with an accessory tray.

Product description

The N 114/500 telescope utilizes a Newtonian reflector optical system equipped with a parabolic main mirror. Its 114mm aperture gathers 270 times more light than the human eye, yielding crisp views of both solar system targets and distant deep-sky objects. The optical mirrors feature aluminium coatings with a protective quartz layer, providing 94% light reflectivity.

The Starquest equatorial mount is engineered for compact optics up to 3 kg payload. Aligning the polar axis parallel to the Earth's axis requires knowing north and your local latitude (a rough alignment is fully sufficient for visual observation). Once aligned, tracking celestial bodies only requires rotating a single axis. Quick repositioning across the sky is effortless by loosening the two axis clamping screws. Purchasing through SkyHunters—a leading supplier of optical instruments—ensures professional customer support and expert advice.
