SkyWatcher Skyhawk 114 Catadioptric Newtonian Reflector Telescope

SkyWatcher Skyhawk 114 Catadioptric Newtonian Reflector Telescope The Skyhawk models from Skywatcher offer you a shorter, far more compact tube to your telescope that will give you the added benefit of offering a more light weight telescope that is convenient and more easily transported along on your night outings.

The Skyhawk 114 Catadioptric Newtonian Reflector Telescope is a very good choice for those who are beginning their astronomy hobby. They will want a much larger aperture from which to watch, and some better performance, in order to get them interested and give them some first round success in sky watching. This, as well as a lower price, will make the Skyhawk one of the best for the beginner.

The Skyhawk 114 catadioptric item has a much longer focal length than some of the others, which means that it will give you the advantage of permitting a higher magnification than the smaller, more short focal lengths will give.

Many reflector telescopes today offer you a coat of aluminium as the surface of the mirror. The Skyhawk will then overcoat it with multiple coatings of silicon dioxide. This gives you a much more durable coating. As the mirror is open to the weather, the additional coating prevents the reduction in resolution that will take place if the coating is not used. The Skywatcher telescopes, coating with multiple layers of the silicone dioxide offer you maximum durability and very good long term wear, which again, makes them perfect for the beginner or intermediate astronomer.

The light is superior to many other models of beginning telescopes, and the ability to see Saturn's rings and some of the Nebula will encourage the new users taste for sky viewing by letting them see into space for the first time in a very clear and concise way.
