The first thing I have to say that the Omegon 114/900 telescope is a class and you can see wonderful constellations.
The construction of the telescope goes quickly. You have to grow a few parts. The einzigst cumbersome in cultivation, is the construction of the finderscope that in the beginning is just above the surface, but is not yet aligned. You have to be a day with 2 people govern.
If one then looks at the moon on the first night to get can not stop being amazed. We see endless crater and the lunar seas are really impressive. After a few days you can then even go on planets like Mars, Saturn or Jupiter. While the Mars still with the naked eye looks like a star, you can see through this telescope has a right disc in red. The cloud bands of Jupiter take a while until they recognize, but after a few days you have the moons of Jupiter in the image.
The most interesting planet is still clearly the Saturn. With the supplied 10mm eyepiece and 2x Barlow lens can be super distinguish the ring of the planetary ball. And the moon Titan, which is not visible to the naked eye, with this telescope shows its splendor.
The criticized EQ1 mount is perfect for me. If you set the telescope properly, the planet or constellation does not wobble in the eyepiece.
Who gernen times the moon or the planets would fotgrafieren, simply can hold only one camera to the eyepiece. Although you do not get the best shots, but the Saturn ring and the lunar craters can be seen already.
Positives:
- Super detection of planets with their details
- One discovers the stars are not visible to the naked eye
- 114mm mirror is huge in size and great for these detections.
- One can see through light cloud formations.
- The eyepieces are perfect for observation contained.
- Photo and video recording you can already do with standard cameras.
Negatives:
- Complicated cultivation of the finderscope
In conclusion we can say is this telescope perfect for beginners in astronomy.
