N 114/500: Wide-angle telescope for stargazing
This telescope is a master of large fields of view. Its short focal length offers breathtaking rich-field observations of extensive star clusters, nebulae and the Milky Way. Thanks to the high-quality parabolic mirrors, you can enjoy a sharpness that is unrivalled in this class. A telescope for anyone who prefers to enjoy the sky in large format.
Advantages at a glance:
- Parabolic primary mirror: razor-sharp stars right to the edge of the field of view
- Huge field of view: The short focal length of 500 mm makes this telescope ideal for observation of large, extended celestial objects.
- Bright and compact: despite its 114 mm aperture, the tube is very short, light and portable.
- Buttery-smooth focusing: The Crayford focuser ensures precise and wobble-free focusing of your observation objects.
- Quick to set up: The telescope is quick to assemble and adjust, so you can spend more time on observation and less time on preparation.
The sky in widescreen format: the rich-field experience
What does "rich field" mean? It means that you can see a huge section of the sky at once. Telescopes with a long focal length act like a telephoto lens: they magnify very strongly. The Omegon N 114/500, on the other hand, is like a wide-angle lens. It allows you to wander through the star fields of the Milky Way and admire open star clusters such as the Pleiades in all their glory. Tip: However, the field of view also depends heavily on the eyepiece. So if you need high magnification, you can achieve this with a short focal length eyepiece.
Quality you can see: the parabolic mirror
We make no compromises on quality with this wide-angle specialist either. At its heart is a precision-crafted parabolic primary mirror. Unlike the simple spherical mirrors found in many other entry-level telescopes, it focuses the light precisely at a single point. The result is razor-sharp stars across the entire, huge field of view. You will notice the difference immediately: the stars are fine, defined points.
Focus on the point: the Crayford focuser
The telescope has a modern Crayford focuser. It helps you to perfectly adjust the sharpness of the high-quality mirrors. Thanks to the ball bearings, it moves smoothly and without wobbling. This makes focusing easy and pleasant: a big advantage when photographing the moon, for example. In addition, all 1.25-inch eyepieces are compatible, whether from this or another manufacturer.
The intuitive mount for quick and sharp observations day and night
A bird sitting in the sun, a deer grazing at the edge of the forest, or the moon in the daytime sky? There are many situations in which you might want to point a telescope at an object spontaneously. That's exactly what the Omegon AZ Bellavista mount is for. It works as easily as a good photo tripods, but is as stable and accurate as a mount for observation of the stars. A perfect choice for anyone who loves quick observations.
Advantages at a glance:
- Ready in a flash: simply place the telescope on or attach it to the L-rail and get started. It is very easy to use and immediately understandable.
- Smooth movement: Precise gears on both axes move the telescope smoothly and without jerking. This allows you to navigate to any target and track it effortlessly.
- For nature and stars: Observe animals at the edge of the forest or objects in the sky.
- Stable: The sturdy stainless steel tripod ensures a steady image. This allows you to see every detail, even at high magnifications.
- Universal mounting: The mounting fits many telescopes. You can mount your telescope quickly and securely.
Easy to use: Up, down, left and right
No complicated alignment with the North Star is necessary. With the AZ Bellavista mount, you can easily move your telescope left, right, up and down. It works just like a good camera tripod. This makes the mount ideal for quick, spontaneous observation. Whether you are looking at the moon, planets or objects on Earth, you will find your target in a matter of seconds.
Precision you can feel: smooth fine movement
A simple photo tripod does not move as precisely. The Bellavista has fine gears in both axes. You control these via two rotary handles. This allows you to keep your target exactly in the centre, even at high magnification. These smooth and precise movements make all the difference and ensure relaxed observation.
A steel foundation: robust tripod
A good mount needs a stable tripod. That's why the Bellavista AZ has a very robust stainless steel tripod. It ensures a steady image, even in windy conditions or when touched. The practical accessory tray simply clicks into place. It keeps your eyepieces and other items ready to hand. This foundation ensures that you get the most out of your telescope's performance.
Omegon Accessory Box: What good is the best telescope without the right accessories?
With the Omegon accessory box, you get a coordinated set of equipment that makes getting started as easy as possible. Instead of laboriously searching for individual eyepieces and adaptors, you get everything you need for your first observations and even your first moon photos. And all in a quality that exceeds the standard. What do you need to get started? Something that will allow you to make impressive observations right away. This includes two eyepieces for low and medium magnifications. Sometimes you want to get even closer to the action. That's exactly what the included 2x barlow lens is for. It simply plugs between the eyepiece and the telescope and doubles the magnification of the respective eyepiece. An LED finder is extremely important for quickly searching for and finding objects. A red glowing dot in the darkness shows you exactly where to look. You will soon realise that this inconspicuous component is just as important as your telescope. And with the extension tube, you can always find the right focus level.
Your smartphone becomes an astro camera
Perhaps the most exciting part of the accessory set is the smartphone adapter. It allows you to attach your own mobile phone directly to the eyepiece and take photos of what you are observing. Capture the cratered landscapes of the Moon or photograph Jupiter and its moons. The included Bluetooth remote shutter release ensures blur-free images. Share your fascination with the starry sky with your family and friends. It couldn't be easier.
