Model: Olivon 1000×114 Astronomical Telescope
Overview: This astronomical telescope is best suited for viewing the night sky, the Moon, stars and the Planets. They are been used in the normal form and like any telescope it gives inverted images that does not matter for celestial observations. This Astronomical Telescope is not suitable for terrestrial purposes. This model belongs to the reflector that uses mirrors along with the lens in its design.
Aperture: The objective lens diameter of Olivon 1000/114 Reflector Telescope is 114mm that is wider enough to bring in more light during the observation. Generally, the sky seems polluted with dirt and with many light reflections; clear vision is not easily possible. Only encountering with the higher objective lens that has the ability to gather more light can produce better vision of the celestial bodies.
Focal length / lens: The focal length of this model is 1000mm and the lens embedded is fully multi-coated. With this long focal length, the Crater of Moon and the planets come in to vision easily. However, the formations of stars and Nebula can be viewed in poor quality. Nevertheless, the lens being fully multi-coated flare-less image without the reflections is been obtained.
Eyepieces: They are the standard fittings for the telescope that enhances the magnification ability. The available eyepieces for this model are 12.5mm, 17mm and 32.5mm. The bigger it is the wider will be the viewing angle. This helps to penetrate deeper into the scary night sky.
Photography: This Olivon 1000×114 Astronomical telescope can be used for taking photographs through a digital camera. In most cases, stability seems to be a problem and hence the use of the right tripod gives better focus and producing shatter less images is possible.
Finder scope: With the ‘Red dot’ finder scope that points the focus in the sky with the red dot, not only helps to locate the celestial objects but also follow them until the required clarity is been obtained.
Mount: This model comes with an Equatorial mount, this assists to produce an undisturbed observation. It is also compatible with the tripod for hands free observations.
Accessories: The various accessories available that goes well with Olivon 1000/114 Equatorial Mount Telescope are 2 x Barlow lens, Moon Filter, Green filter, Equatorial mount, Tripod and Eye piece outfit including a waist bag.
