Meade Dobson Telescope N 114/450 EclipseView DOB

Item Description:


The EclipseView telescopes are light and uncomplicated. They are ideal for a quick look at our solar system: moon, planets and sun!

The sun may only be observed with optical instruments that are specially equipped for it! The accessories for the EclipseView telescopes already contain everything you need for a safe observation of the sun: Put the ISO-certified sun filter with its precisely fitting socket on the front end of the telescope. It ensures that only a tiny fraction of solar radiation gets into the instrument. With this "white light filter" the photosphere of the sun can be observed. The photosphere shows fascinatingly structured sunspots, the number of which changes in an eleven-year cycle: The view of the sun is never the same!
The enclosed sun finder helps to point the telescope towards the sun.

The sun is going down, it is night: Remove the sun filter and replace it with the red dot finder. With this viewfinder, it is very easy to set the moon and planets. With your EclipseView telescope you can observe craters on the moon, the phases of Venus, Jupiter with its moons and the rings of Saturn. Even bright nebulae, like the Orion Nebula, are within the range of these telescopes.



The N 114/450 optics already collect 270 times more light than the human eye. Well-known star clusters and other bright DeepSky objects can be seen impressively.

Thanks to the short focal length and the wide field of view, open star clusters can be completely overlooked. This large field optic makes it easier for beginners in particular to find celestial objects.

With this telescope you can also observe the moon and planets in over 200 times magnification - an impressive sight!

The N 114/450 is a compact optic that does not make high demands on the adjustment - ideal for the entry into the sky observation!

The EclipseView series was launched by Meade specifically for the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, which was very visible in North America. Partial, ring-shaped or fatal solar eclipses are not uncommon globally. For example, there will be three solar eclipses and a Mercury transit in 2019. The light EclipseView telescopes fit in your luggage: make a solar eclipse your holiday destination!
