This version of the 114mm Newtonian telescope offers more portability than the standard longer tube Newtonian without sacrificing power or performance. The short tube of this model is only 18" long and has a built-in correction lens, giving it all the focal length of the standard model, while reducing aberrations.

The German equatorial mount is quite stable, with setting circles and slow motion controls on both axes for easy, smooth tracking.

This high quality, economical telescope with superb optical systems is housed in a glossy black metal tube.

This telescope yields breathtaking views of the moon, Saturn with its ring structure, Jupiter and its belts, and hundreds of deep-sky objects including  galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. Add an optional solar filter and you can observe activity on the sun.
