Featuring a large optical tube with a 114 mm aperture, this telescope provides sharp views of our Moon, as well as brighter deep-sky targets and star clusters. This refractor is not designed for astrophotography, although the EQ3-class mount does allow for accurate manual tracking of the night sky. So, with a simple smartphone adapter (sold separately), you can easily capture quick photos and videos of your observations. The bright primary mirror and fast f\/4.4 means this telescope performs well on deep sky objects; however, it still faces some limitations with dimmer objects, especially under heavy light urban skies. At a focal length of 500 mm, this telescope does not provide enough magnification to resolve much surface detail of the planets, but it can resolve Jupiter along with its four brightest moons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll See and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Observer 114EQ Reflector comes complete with a classic equatorial mount with two slow-motion controls and a lightweight aluminum tripod with an eyepiece accessory tray.

It is fully manual, so it does not require batteries, apps, or computerized alignment, but it also does not automatically find or track objects. This is the right telescope if you want to learn the sky yourself and enjoy a simple “point and view” observing experience. It is not the right choice if you want GoTo object locating, motorized tracking, or a telescope built primarily for long-exposure astrophotography. Although with the addition of a smartphone adapter, you can take beautiful images of the moon and bright planets with relative ease. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You’ll See and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SkyScanner 100 mm Tabletop Reflector is built for visual astronomy. Its 100 mm mirror gathers enough light to show much more than the Moon: you can observe star clusters, bright nebulae, and some galaxies like Andromeda. What makes the SkyScanner 100 mm Table Top Reflector work well is the combination of a 100 mm parabolic primary mirror, 400 mm focal length, and f\/4 focal ratio. In plain English, that means it has enough light-gathering power for bright views, enough focal length to perform well on the Moon and brighter deep-sky objects, and a forgiving optical design that is easy for beginners to learn and master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"oriontelescopes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52119015096616,"sku":"10012","price":129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8886\/7880\/files\/10012_17.jpg?v=1784233014"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.telescope.com\/collections\/reflector-telescopes.oembed","provider":"oriontelescopes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
