Mirror telescope for beginners

This telescope is especially suitable for moon and planet observations. We recommend it as a telescope for beginners, who wants fast and cheap and beautiful astronomical experiences. The LUNA telescope series can be retrofitted not only with many optical accessories, but also with RA motor control and probably the most popular devices among beginners.

ADVANTAGES for beginners:

• Long focal length and thus also at the edge good picture
• Well-corrected 3-lens eyepieces with approx. 40 or 55 degrees facial field
• Parallactic mounting facilitates the tracking, ideal for beginners
• RA motor tracking can be retrofitted
  

DISADVANTAGE:

• The ocular extension is made of plastic (usual in this price class)

THE TELESCOPE:

The Newton telescopes with 114mm aperture and 900mm focal length is certainly one of the most popular telescopes for beginners. It provides a decent workmanship and a good look. The main and rear mirrors are each housed in an adjustable frame. The secondary mirror is relatively small with respect to the aperture, which produces a sharp and contrast-rich image of the moon and planets. The clouds of Jupiter and the ring of Saturn stand out clearly. Many objects outside of our solar system are also visible . Numerous galaxies, fog and star clusters are clearly recognizable with this telescope for beginners. The ring nebula in the lyre is already clearly recognizable as a small smoke ring, and the well-known M13, the brightest globular cluster of the northern hemisphere, is already dissolved in the singular at the edge.
