Description

The Meade Polaris 114mm EQ Reflector Telescope is a quality instrument for observations of Solar system and deep-sky objects. This is a reflecting telescope that always produces bright images without chromatic aberrations. The telescope is ideal for observations in the countryside.

The Meade Polaris 114mm model comes with three eyepieces: 6.3 mm (143x), 9 mm (100x) and 25 mm (36x). Moreover, the package contains a Barlow lens allowing you to obtain many magnifications ‘out of the box’. Red Dot finder allows for quick aiming on desired objects.

The telescope tube is installed on a Dovetail plate. The reinforced Equatorial mount compensates for the diurnal motion of the night sky. The mount features slow motion controls; it also allows you to install motor drives. Steel tripod ensures great stability of the instrument.

Download special astronomy planetarium software on the producer’s official website. AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition software will help you learn the night sky. It displays more than 10,000 celestial objects including planets, stars, galaxies and nebulas. You can print out star charts and even plan your observing session. It operates on any Windows based PC.
