TS StarScope 1149 - 114/900mm Beginner Telescope with mount and tripod - a powerful telescope with much acessories for a wonderful start in Astronomythe classic beginner's telescope in its latest generation. Ideal for beginners who want to have a telescope that offers years of fun of observing but still on a budget.
The StarScope 1149 has several quality features seldom seen in this combination in similar telescopes:
- particularly sturdy mounting and tripod. In many other telescopes of this class an undersized mount is used to "simulate" a cheap price, but the performance of an undersized mount will seriously limit the usefulness of the telescope as a whole!
- serious observing on a budget!
These are but some of the many advantages of the StarScope 1149. This telescope is a hot recommendation for beginners. The value for money is superb!
With this telescope you can see:
- The Moon
Craters, mountain ranges, ridges, valleys, volcanic plains. Observe the sunrise in a moon's crater as more and more detail inside the crater becomes visible! - The Planets
Observe the phases of Venus, the cloud belts of Jupiter, Saturn's rings, the Galilean moons, ... Even Uranus can be seen with this telescope! - The Sun
With the optional Baader AstroSolar filter sheet you can safely observe the sun. Discover the sun's spots - centers of magnetic activity. You can find the filter sheet under "recommended accessories". - The Stars and the Deep Sky
Hundreds of objects are within reach of this telescope. Observe double or multiple stars with their different colours. Enjoy the beautiful view of a star cluster inside your telescope's field of view. Globular clusters are among the easiest objects outside our own galaxy that you can see with this telescope.
1.25" Focuser:
An often overlooked detail of particular importance. The focuser's job is to hold the eyepiece ("magnifying lens") in place and move it into focus for a sharp image. The eyepiece defines the magnification you get. The Starscope 1149 has a standard 1.25" focuser, not the older 24.5mm size. As a result you can choose from hundreds of optional accessories available for 1.25".
