KONUS NOVA 114 TELESCOPE

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
