NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC 114/500 Compact Telescope
With its 114-mm aperture, this telescope collects three times more light than a 76-mm telescope. Therefore, fainter objects become visible, and you can see more details of the moon and planets. Nevertheless, the telescope is very compact and sets up quickly, with no assembly required, so it can be transported to your favourite night-sky-observation location easily. Use is very intuitive, without compromising stability. The built-in accessory tray keeps the eyepieces handy, and the red-dot finder makes locating objects simple.
Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design “Newton” are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.
Raj Menon –
I got this for my daughter to introduce her to the wonderful world of astronomy. It’s simple construction and ease of use makes it easy for her to look at her (current) favourite celestial body – the moon. Very happy with the purchase.
Hilmi Al-Kindy (official) –
yes, this desktop telescope is under rated by many people. It’s a very nice and convenient scope.
