Customer Review: Great scope at a low price, but?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT starter scope here is what you get.In the box,
4.5" 910mm focal length main mirror in a nicly made metal tube.
Nice all metal equatorial mount.
All metal tripod, it also seems well made.
One each 25mm, 12.5mm, 4mm eyepiece, .965" heres where I ran into
a problem, it seems the nice people at Meade forgot to put all 3
in the box I got! A call to Meades 800 number took care of the problem. They will also send you a 1.25" eyepiece holder for free
if you ask for one.
This also has motorized TRACKING with hand controller, this is
for TRACKING only and is NOT computerized.
You also get a 3X barlow lens, a 5X25 finder scope.
All I need now is some clear skys!
Description of Meade 114-EQ-DH 4.5" Equatorial Starfinder Reflecting Telescope
The Meade 114EQ-DH 4.5-inch Equatorial Starfinder Reflecting Telescope includes a superb, hand-figured parabolic primary mirror constructed from low-expansion, fine-annealed Pyrex glass. The mirror meets the theoretical limit of resolution for its aperture and is matched with an elliptical flat secondary mirror of appropriate minor axis. This high-quality construction guarantees a remarkable performance and is sure to deliver crisp, clear images of your favorite celestial bodies.This telescope can be used manually to view distant street signs, mountains, trees and other structures. For the beginner, the manual observation is an excellent way to associate yourself with the telescope. However, the biggest benefit of the Starfinder telescope is the electronic motor drive system. This awesome feature allows you to track celestial bodies and move your telescope with a small handbox remote control. Once you answer a series of questions about your location, the handbox will help you find and track your favorite celestial bodies. The motor can operate at seven different speeds, so you'll be able to track almost anything in the sky with a simple press of a button.
With fine construction, built to detailed specifications, and empowering features like the electronic Starfinder motor system, the 114EQ-DH is an outstanding telescope for the amateur astronomer.
