Compact, light and made for exploration
The Skywatcher N 114/500 lets you start watching the night sky quickly and leisurely.
The short focal length gives you a clear, wide image. As a result, you find objects faster and see more at once. Ideal if you're just starting out or just want hassle-free viewing.
Clear image even at low magnifications
The 114 mm mirror captures enough light to clearly show the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and bright nebulae.
You'll see sharp edges, clear shadows and bright star fields.The parabolic main mirror keeps your image tight and tidy, so details remain visible without distortion.
Easy aiming and tracking
The compact Dobson base moves smoothly. You point the telescope with small pushes and the image remains stable.
The Virtuoso mount automatically tracks objects as soon as you set it up. This keeps the image quiet in the eyepiece, even if you look longer or work at different magnifications.
Freedom Find makes everything easier
Feel free to move the telescope by hand. The built-in sensors do not lose their orientation.So you remain flexible without re-aligning. Perfect when you want to quickly point to something or move through the image.
Ready to take
The whole system is compact and light. You pick it up and take it with you easily: into the garden, a weekend trip, or just to a dark place nearby.You don't need a complicated setup. Unpacking and watching is enough.
