Sky Watcher Skyhawk 114 Telescope

The Sky Watcher Skyhawk 114 Reflector Astronomy Telescope with EQ1 Mount features a shorter, more compact telescope tube length, resulting in a lighter-weight telescope of excellent convenience and portability. It is a particularly good choice of instrument for keen beginners to astronomy, wanting larger aperture and increased performance at a relatively low cost. This catadioptric version has a longer 1000mm focal length, so achieving higher magnifications than standard shorter focal length models.

Most reflectors today have a coat of aluminium as the mirror surface and then an overcoat of silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide to protect it. Silicon dioxide produces a much more durable coat than silicon monoxide but requires specialised equipment to apply it and is therefore more expensive. Protection is needed, because in most reflectors, the mirror is open to the elements and deterioration of the reflective layer reduces the resolution of the telescope. All Sky Watcher reflector telescopes are Multi-Coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance.
