Product Details

Meade 114EQ-AR 114mm (4.5") Equatorial Reflector

LARGE APERTURE MANUAL TELESCOPES - 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 the Meade 114EQ-AR greatly facilitates object tracking, simply by manually turning one or both of the control cables.

The large 114mm-diameter mirror of this model 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.
