Telescope Skyhawk-1145P 500mm Parbolic Newton on EQ1 with accessories

Check adjustment Newton Mirrorball primary mirror focuser
The Skywatcher Skyhawk-1145P 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.

How we adjust: About us






The Skyhawk 114/500 is a Newton telescope, a classic reflector telescope. Isaak Newton's design, which has been common since the invention 300 years ago, is a wonderful way to introduce beginners and young people to a very original form of observing the sky with a telescope.

Telescope Skyhawk-1145P 500mm Parbolic Newton on EQ1 with accessories

Newtonian telescopes are particularly popular because they have more light output (and a pure color image) in the same price range due to their larger aperture, as for example lens telescopes (refractors).


This telescope 114/500 is suitable for beautiful lunar and luminous point finders of Skywatcher planetary observations (such as the atmospheric bands of Jupiter) and also for bright deep-sky objects, such as those due to its light gathering power (f / 4,4). the Orion Nebula or open star clusters. The parabolic main mirror (not a matter of course in this size class) is able to image diffraction-limited and thus to implement the theoretical resolution.
The red dot finder makes finding objects in the sky easier.

The EQ1 parallactic mount allows for a simple Skywatcher Skyhwak telescope on EQ1 tracking the telescope through the flexible shafts at the (manual) fine adjustment. The counterweight tars the optics and keeps the system in balance.
The aluminum tripod is height adjustable and can be adapted to different body sizes and "grows" so to speak.

Basics: When buying an astronomical telescope, be careful not to save at the wrong end because of fewer euros! The valuable hobby of astronomy is too precious to "stifle" it already in the beginning by magelhaftes equipment. If the device combination "Wackelskram" and has (moreover) a poor image quality, you lose the desire to discover without it, which valuable experiences are possible even with small devices. The interest in astronomy combined with knowledge of physics and optics, which also promotes school knowledge, unfortunately shrinks proportionally with disappointment in observation. Therefore, we can only encourage you again and again to seek our expert advice before purchasing. Your wishes are important to us!
Please read our information under the heading "Advantages - Disadvantages - Interesting facts for beginners and advanced" and / or ask directly in personal contact.

For example, with this device you have a combination of optics and durable (and low-vibration) mount. Focusing is not a painful procedure and the image of the object is sharp and detailed. The tracking of the astronomical object to compensate for the earth's rotation is sensitive and intuitive with the flexible waves. The joy of watching and discovering is not clouded here!
If you later want more and buy a larger device, this combination will not lose any value for you. As a travel telescope or device for "fast-licking" (if you only want to look a short time) or for large-scale objects, for which you can not enlarge so high anyway, it will always come back into use. Not to forget as a comfortable travel device. So a good long term investment that you will not regret, even if you increase your equipment.

 

Product advantages:

+ Ideal for older children (from 10 years) and beginners
+ Suitable for lunar and planetary observation
+ Larger opening compared to refractors in the same price range
+ Fine adjustment facilitates searching and tracking
  (Compensation of earth rotation) of objects
+ Tripod height adjustable
+ Cheap in purchase
 

To note:

- Selective focus on deep sky objects not very pronounced
- Without Barlow lens.
- Without lunar filter
  We also recommend a lunar filter for lunar observations,
  for more contrast and protection of the eyes.
- Not suitable for astrophotography.
- For landscape observations, we recommend a refractor in this price category.
- Field tripod needed after touching / vibration 4-6 sec. Release time for
  a "wobble-free" observation
