More about the series Skyline Base...
The telescopes in the Skyline Base range are geared towards price-conscious beginners and is also a great gift for young natural scientists!
These telescopes come with an intuitively operated alt-azimuth mount which can be used to easily orientate the telescope towards the desired celestial object. The included aluminium tripod is very lightweight and provides a practical shelf for accessories.
N 114/500 telescope: This classic Newtonian telescope provides 114mm of aperture in a particularly light and compact design. It is therefore an ideal telescope for beginners. It is very easy to transport, simple to handle and requires no special expertise to operate. This telescope you will show you the rings of Saturn and the cloud bands and moons of Jupiter - looking like a small planetary system all of its own. The brighter nebulae and regions of star formation, such as the Orion Nebula, can also be observed. Why not go on your own personal voyage of discovery.
The AZ-2 Mount:
This mount is very popular with beginners in astronomy as it is very simple to operate. The entire telescope is very easy to move around in both azimuth and elevation. For beginners, it has the advantage that they do not have to worry about first aligning the telescope before use. Setting up the telescope is hence very quick and straightforward: Simply erect the tripod and mount, attach the telescope to it, and you are ready to go! The fine adjusters can be locked in both axes so that objects remain in the field of view once found. The mount is attached to a height-adjustable aluminium tripod.
Included in delivery of the mount:
- AZ-2 altazimuth mount
- robust aluminium tripod (height-adjustable from 71cm to 121cm)
