Seben Star Sheriff 1000-114 Reflector Telescope
Seben telescopes have a reputation of affordability which experts have noted, although they also note that the quality of the scope suffers to a degree. However, most customer reviews are positive, and for the beginning hobbyist, Seben may be a preferable choice; one may be unwilling to spend 500 or more Euro for the latest Meade or Celestron design.
The Star Sheriff is one of Seben's larger scopes; it has 114mm aperture, a focal length of 1000mm, and a weight of 11kg. Even so, the catadioptric design is relatively compact, making the assembled scope readily portable.
The package comes with Seben's standard set of accessories: 4 eyepieces of varying magnifications, moon filters which clarify details on surfaces that reflect a great deal of sunlight, reverse lenses for terrestrial observation, a finder which assists in locating stars, and a Barlow lens which effectively doubles the eyepiece magnification. Thus the scope achieves a range of magnification from 50x to 500x. The manufacturer recommends 228x as the maximum ideal magnification, before aberrations appear in the image.
Large scopes are generally not well suited for terrestrial observation, but they are excellent for viewing stars, galaxies and planets. The Star Sheriff has a magnitude limit of 12.8M, so there are over 2,250,000 known stars that will be visible with this scope. This scope design is compatible with a reflector engine mechanism (occasionally included with the scope, depending on when and from whom it is bought) which will maintain focus on a particular point in the celestial sphere by continuously adjusting the scope as the Earth rotates. This saves a great deal of trouble for the hobbyist.
Like all other Seben telescopes, the Star Sheriff uses 31.7mm eyepieces and accessories, as opposed to the outdated 24.5mm designs. This allows telescopes to be connected to modern astro-photography cameras if desired. The buyer who has just developed an interest will the Seben Star Sheriff to be an affordable, up to date piece of equipment.
