Meade 114EQ-AST: Simple yet Quality Reflecting Telescope

Meade telescopes, especially the reflectors, are the best when it comes to compactness and portability, and is very user-friendly especially to the novice in star-gazing and astronomy hobbyist.

Meade 114EQ-AST Reflecting Telescope for example is a quality optical device yet simple for first timers. Still, it can be considered an advanced gadget that will competently help you in your years of star gazing and observing. In fact, this type of Meade telescope is recommended for use by all stargazing enthusiasts, beginner and veteran astronomers alike.

The Earth performs a full rotation every 24 hours on its own axis rotates once on its axis, and because of this space objects rapidly move thru the telescope field especially during high powers. Object tracking is therefore necessary, and the Meade 114EQ-AST’s equatorial mount facilitates such tracking by the manual turn on the control cables.

This Meade telescope model has a big 114 millimeter diameter mirror, gathering more light (around 360 percent) than the 60 millimeter telescopes. And because of this, with the Meade 114EQ-AST, the much farther space objects are much clearer and in great detail.
