 Meade
114EQ-ASTR 4½-inch ReflectorBecause 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-AST 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.
Specifications: 114mm (4½")
diameter Newtonian reflector with a special relay lens which
shortens the tube length and yields a 1000mm focal length (f/8.8).
Includes equatorial mount and tripod. Two eyepieces (1.25"): MA9mm
(101x) and MA25mm (36x); 5 x 24mm viewfinder; Adjustable
aluminum tripod with shelf; planetarium software for the PC;
operating instructions.
