Optical Design
Paraboloidal Newtonian Reflector
The optical design of a telescope is a feature that defines what sort of observing the telescope is suitable for.
Optical Diameter
114mm
The aperture (diameter) of a telescope’s main lens or mirror. This describes how much light a telescope can grasp.
Focal Length
500mm
The distance that the light has to travel between the aperture and the focal point. A smaller focal lengths will deliver a wider field of view.
F/Ratio
F/4.4
The relationship between the focal length and the aperture, larger f/numbers imply higher magnification.
Highest Practical Power
228x
Exceeding the Highest Practical Power will result in a fuzzy image.
Finder Scope
Red Dot Finder*
A low powered mini telescope with a wide field of view to assists with locating objects before observe through the main telescope.
Diameter
Rack and Pinion Focuser (1.25”)
Eyepieces
1.25″ Super 25 and 10*
Short focal length (5-10mm) eyepieces generally provided high power magnifications.
Tube Weight
8 Kgs
You may need a counterweight to prevent your telescope from rotating downwards due to gravity.
Tube Dimensions
15cm x 41cm
The physical size of the telescope tube.
