Sky Watcher Skyhawk 1145P Reflector Astronomy Telescope with AZ Pronto Mount

Sky Watcher Skyhawk 1145P Reflector Astronomy Telescope with AZ Pronto Mount Description

The easy-to-use, hassle-free, grab-and-go Sky Watcher Skyhawk 1145PS Reflector Astronomy Telescope with AZ Pronto Mount 10258. The Skyhawk 1145PS is a highly capable all-rounder for the study of the Moon, brilliant planets, nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters.

It has a helpful 114mm of light gathering aperture and a great parabolic main mirror. The well-designed and user-friendly AZ Pronto Alt-Azimuth mount offers outstanding stability and precise control on both the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) axes via its slow motion cables. An ideal beginner's telescope.

The Sky Watcher Skyhawk 1145PS Reflector Astronomy Telescope features high quality parabolic primary mirrors to remove the spherical aberrations present in 'quick' focal length reflectors with spherical primary mirrors. All the light beams are parabolized by the mirrors to focus on a single point, producing clear, contrasty images that are rich in detail.

Sky-Watcher Deluxe Mirror Coatings: Today's reflectors often feature an aluminium coating on the mirror surface, followed by a protective layer of silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide. Compared to silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide creates a far more durable coat but costs more to apply since it needs specialised equipment. Because the mirror in the majority of reflectors is exposed to the elements and deterioration of the reflecting coating lowers the telescope's resolution, protection is necessary. For maximum durability and long-term performance, Silicon Dioxide Multi-Coating is a standard feature on ALL Sky-Watcher reflectors.
