The Konus KonusNova-114 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. 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.
Includes the following 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
1.25" 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 Scope:
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
