Advantages at a glance:
- Sharp images right to the edge: the parabolic primary mirror ensures significantly higher image quality than a simple spherical mirror.
- Further into space: With a 114 mm aperture, you can also see nebulae that remain invisible with smaller telescopes.
- No wobbling, no play: with the Crayford focuser, you can adjust the sharpness of the image smoothly and precisely.
- Easy to fit: Thanks to the Vixen-style prism rail and universal finder shoe, the telescope fits on many mounts and is compatible with numerous accessories.
The decisive difference: the parabolic mirrors
Many beginner telescopes use simple spherical mirrors, which have one disadvantage: they cannot focus the light into a single point. This leads to blurred images, especially at the edge of the field of view. The Omegon N 114/900, on the other hand, is equipped with a high-quality parabolic primary mirror. This is rare in this price range! It has a special shape that collects the incoming light precisely at a focal point. The result is impressive sharpness and high contrast across the entire image field.
Everything you can discover
With a 114 mm aperture, this telescope collects 2.6 times more light than a 70 mm telescope. This opens the door to the world of deep-sky objects. What can you see with it?
- Globular clusters: Observe the famous Hercules cluster M13 – a collection of hundreds of thousands of stars that resolves into individual points of light at the edge.
- Planetary nebulae: Discover the Ring Nebula in Lyra, the remnant of a dying star, as a glowing smoke ring in the sky.
- Planets: Spot the cloud bands on Jupiter, the Great Red Spot and the four largest moons. Marvel at the majestic rings of Saturn.
Focus like the pros: the Crayford focuser
Many entry-level telescopes are equipped with simple rack-and-pinion focusers. These often wobble and make focusing a test of patience. But this telescope puts an end to that: it has a Crayford focuser. You will hardly find this feature in any other entry-level telescope series, as it was originally intended for advanced amateur astronomers. A fusion of telescopes into a new type: Horizon! But what can this Crayford focuser do? Because it runs on ball bearings, you can focus the object smoothly and without play – even at very high magnifications. You can now find the perfect focus immediately and right from the start.
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.
