Sky-Watcher SkyHawk-1145P AZ-Go2 - 4.5″ Newton Reflector

Sky-Watcher SkyHawk-1145P AZ-Go2: the most affordable GoTo reflector

The Sky-Watcher SkyHawk-1145P AZ-Go2 combines a parabolic 114/500 mm Newtonian (f/4.4) with a WiFi GoTo mount: tap objects in the SynScan app and the telescope points and tracks. The most affordable route to computer-controlled viewing with a true parabolic mirror.

What do you see through the SkyHawk?

A 114 mm mirror reveals the moon in full detail, Jupiter's moons and belts, Saturn's rings, and under a dark sky, the first real deep-sky objects: the Orion Nebula, bright star clusters, and on good nights, a globular cluster. The ideal size to find out whether the hobby will stick.

Pocket-sized WiFi GoTo

The mount creates its own WiFi network; no internet is needed. The app tells you what can be seen tonight and points the telescope there. For beginners, this saves precisely the frustration that ruins many first telescopes: finding objects.

This is how to get the most out of this telescope

• Start with the lowest power eyepiece (the largest number): first find, then enlarge.
• Check mirror alignment after transport; our guide on collimation Keep it simple.
• Bring a power bank for the GoTo mount.
• Magnification: the 10 mm eyepiece gives 50x; a 6 mm eyepiece (83x) gets more out of the moon and planets.
• Never look directly at the sun without protection., not even for a moment: only with a certified solar filter on the front.
