DESCRIPTION |
The
NexStar 114 SLT has over twice the light-gathering power of an
80mm telescope! And the 114 SLT, like the other models in the SLT
Series, comes with a fully computerized hand control with a database
of over 4,000 celestial objects! With its pre-assembled, adjustable
steel tripod, the NexStar 114 SLT can be up and ready to use in
a matter of minutes. Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and
the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning
a breeze.
Compact
and lightweight in design, this scope can produce images bright
enough to reveal the polar ice caps on Mars or the cloud belts
on Jupiter! View the details of the lunar surface or the rings
of Saturn which are clearly visible with this telescope. With the
extra light gathering capability of the 114 SLT, a number of the
Messier objects such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M13),
or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42) are available to you. Begin
to explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional
light-gathering capabilities of the 114 SLT’s 4-1/2" primary
mirror.
Because
of the Newtonian design, the mirror gives fully color-corrected
views that are best suited for astronomical use. |
