Omegon N 114/900 EQ-1: The classic among beginner telescopes
The Omegon N 114/900 EQ-1 has been the standard recipe for a first serious telescope for decades: 114 mm aperture, 900 mm focal length (f/7.9), and an equatorial mount. The mirror captures over 2.5 times more light than a 70 mm refractor: the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, and the first nebulae and star clusters come alive.
A Newtonian reflector works with mirrors instead of lenses: large aperture for little money and a color-aberration-free image. Occasional collimation (aligning mirrors) is part of it; that can be done in a few minutes.
36x to 180x with the included kit
With the 25mm and 10mm eyepieces, you view at 36x and 90x. The 2x Barlow doubles this to 72x and 180x; this allows you to immediately utilize the full practical range of this aperture.
The long focal length of f/7.9 is forgiving: the image remains sharp and steady, even with simple eyepieces.
Using a dial
The equatorial EQ-1 compensates for the Earth's rotation via an axis. This keeps Jupiter in view while your family watches. The finderscope helps with aiming.
Included
- Newtonian optics 114/900
- EQ-1 parallactic mount
- Aluminum Tripod
- 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces (1.25 inch)
- 2x Barlow lens
- Seeker
Featured accessories
The Omegon laser collimator (€44.90) keeps the mirrors aligned; every Newton telescope should have one in the drawer. An Omegon Premium moon filter 1.25 inch (€19.90) is not a luxury with this aperture. The Omegon Cronus 7 mm eyepiece (€79) provides a fixed, comfortable 129x magnification for planets, and with the Omegon smartphone adapter 25-48 mm (€14.90), you can take your first moon photos.
Never look at the sun through a telescope without a certified solar filter: this can cause permanent eye damage within a second. For the partial solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, the Bresser solar eclipse glasses (€3.20) are the safest way to watch with the naked eye.
For whom yes, for whom no
For those seeking the proven classic design with the best price per millimeter of aperture. Not for those who want a parabolic mirror and standard smartphone photography; the Horizon N 114/900 EQ-1 Neo offers that as a modern version. Compare via Choice assistant.
