Check adjustment Newton Mirrorball primary mirror focuser
The Skywatcher Skyhawk-1145P Syncscan is checked and adjusted by us before delivery. The focuser is set.

All Newton telescopes should be adjusted before first use and then regularly
to get a sharp picture. We adjust all of our Newton before they leave our house.

Skywatcher Skyhawk-1145P SynScan AZ GoTo Newton Telescope 114

Skywatcher Skyhawk-1145P SynScan GoTo - 114mm parabolic Newton reflector with computer control

... a Newton with good imaging performance for field observations, handy and an ideal travel telescope ...

This very compact Newton from the new Explorer series already offers through 114mm opening a good light collection capacity. In comparison. to a Newton with 76mm aperture already more than twice as much light is collected (the surface of the optics is crucial here!).

Bigger nebulae, star clusters and galaxies are also brighter and more details become visible

Due to its parabolic main mirror, this device is not only a good light collector, it also shows many details on the moon and planets.
 
Many providers offer short-building Newtons with comparable opening, even without a corrector, but with a spherical mirror as the main mirror.

We disapprove of these devices, because in our experience, from about 50x magnification, they do not bring up a really sharp image and are therefore not suitable for the moon and planets.

Also often an under-dimensioned secondary mirror is installed, which then reduces the usable opening and thus reduces the performance of the device.

This brightly colored Skywatcher Newton has a parabolic main mirror and is therefore able to image really diffraction-limited and to implement the theoretical resolution in practice. Only then is the device also suitable for viewing the moon and planets. Here we recommend the use of a Barlow lens to achieve higher magnifications.
