The KONUS NOVA-114 F/3.8 AZ Reflector Telescope is an ideal entry-level instrument, capable of detailed observations of the Moon and Planets.

The KONUS NOVA-114 F/3.8 AZ Reflector Telescope makes an ideal entry-level instrument, with a large-aperture primary mirror that is well-suited for making detailed observations of the Moon and Planets; and bright deep-sky objects like Star Clusters, Binary Systems, and  Nebulae.

Key Features

• 114mm Newtonian Reflector Optical Tube
• 500mm Focal Length, f/4 Focal Length
• Manual Alt-azimuth Mount
• 25x & 62.5x Eyepieces with Moon Filter
• 2x Barlow Lens & Smartphone Adapter
• Red-dot Finder with Bracket
• Adjustable-height Aluminum Tripod

Supporting the Optical Tube is a basic Manual Alt-azimuth Mount and an Adjustable-height Aluminum Tripod.

This observation kit comes complete with two Eyepieces that provide low 25x and moderate 62.5x magnifications with a Moon Filter, a universal Smartphone Adapter, 2x Barlow Lens, and an unmagnified Red-dot Finder to make locating objects easier and Star-hopping navigation faster.

Optical Tube Assembly

• Large 114mm f/4.3 aperture to view the Moon, Planets, Stars, clusters, and other bright deep space objects
• Short 500mm focal length ensures a wide field of view and low magnification potential
• Newtonian Reflector configuration enables large apertures at a lower cost than conventional refractor designs
• Sturdy and reliable rack-and-pinion focuser
• 1.25 drawtube accepts the most common Eyepieces and accessories

Mount and Tripod

Mount:

Manual Alt-azimuth

• Single arm fork mount is solid yet lightweight

Tripod:

• Lightweight and durable aluminum
• Adjustable height from 31 to 48 accommodates a variety of users and observing positions
• Centre tray holds accessories such as Eyepieces and filters
• Included Accessories

Smartphone Adapter:

• Quickly capture photos and video of your favorite celestial objects and easily post or share
• Universal fit accommodates most popular models
• Adjustable lens placement for proper alignment

Eyepieces:

• 1.25 diameter barrel
• Accepts most 1.25 astronomical filters
• 8mm Eyepiece yields a high 62.5x power for making detailed observations of the Moon and Planets
• 20mm Eyepiece produces 25x magnification, which is perfect for large deep-sky objects like constellations and Nebulae

Moon Filter:

• Installs into the front of each Eyepiece
• Neutral density filter improves contrast, especially of craters and mountains
• Reduces the brightness of the Moon for safe viewing
• Useful from first quarter through full into the last quarter phase

Barlow Lens

• Installs in the focuser and accepts any 1.25 Eyepiece
• Effectively doubles the magnification of any Eyepiece used with it
• Increases magnification without affecting eye relief, making high-power viewing more comfortable than using extremely short focal length Eyepieces

Finder:

• Unmagnified view ensures faster alignment and easier Star-hopping navigation
• Simple red aiming dot won't obstruct small or dim objects
• Adjustable brightness won't interfere with night-adjusted vision
• Includes Mounting Bracket
