The KONUS NOVA-114 F/3.8 AZ Reflector Telescope makes an ideal entry-level instrument, with a large-aperture primary mirror that is well-suited for making detailed observations of the Moon and Planets; and bright deep-sky objects like Star Clusters, Binary Systems, and Nebulae.
Key Features
- 114mm Newtonian Reflector Optical Tube
- 500mm Focal Length, f/4 Focal Length
- Manual Alt-azimuth Mount
- 25x & 62.5x Eyepieces with Moon Filter
- 2x Barlow Lens & Smartphone Adapter
- Red-dot Finder with Bracket
- Adjustable-height Aluminum Tripod
Supporting the Optical Tube is a basic Manual Alt-azimuth Mount and an Adjustable-height Aluminum Tripod.
This observation kit comes complete with two Eyepieces that provide low 25x and moderate 62.5x magnifications with a Moon Filter, a universal Smartphone Adapter, 2x Barlow Lens, and an unmagnified Red-dot Finder to make locating objects easier and Star-hopping navigation faster.
Optical Tube Assembly
- Large 114mm f/4.3 aperture to view the Moon, Planets, Stars, clusters, and other bright deep space objects
- Short 500mm focal length ensures a wide field of view and low magnification potential
- Newtonian Reflector configuration enables large apertures at a lower cost than conventional refractor designs
- Sturdy and reliable rack-and-pinion focuser
- 1.25″ drawtube accepts the most common Eyepieces and accessories
Mount and Tripod
Mount:
Manual Alt-azimuth
- Single arm fork mount is solid yet lightweight
Tripod:
- Lightweight and durable aluminum
- Adjustable height from 31 to 48″ accommodates a variety of users and observing positions
- Centre tray holds accessories such as Eyepieces and filters
- Included Accessories
Smartphone Adapter:
- Quickly capture photos and video of your favorite celestial objects and easily post or share
- Universal fit accommodates most popular models
- Adjustable lens placement for proper alignment
Eyepieces:
- 1.25″ diameter barrel
- Accepts most 1.25″ astronomical filters
- 8mm Eyepiece yields a high 62.5x power for making detailed observations of the Moon and Planets
- 20mm Eyepiece produces 25x magnification, which is perfect for large deep-sky objects like constellations and Nebulae
Moon Filter:
- Installs into the front of each Eyepiece
- Neutral density filter improves contrast, especially of craters and mountains
- Reduces the brightness of the Moon for safe viewing
- Useful from first quarter through full into the last quarter phase
Barlow Lens
- Installs in the focuser and accepts any 1.25″ Eyepiece
- Effectively doubles the magnification of any Eyepiece used with it
- Increases magnification without affecting eye relief, making high-power viewing more comfortable than using extremely short focal length Eyepieces
Finder:
- Unmagnified view ensures faster alignment and easier Star-hopping navigation
- Simple red aiming dot won’t obstruct small or dim objects
- Adjustable brightness won’t interfere with night-adjusted vision
- Includes Mounting Bracket
