Meade N 114/1000 Polaris EQ Telescope

The Polaris telescopes from Meade offer small and medium optics with numerous accessories in a equatorial mount at a very good price.

In mounts of this type one of the axes is aligned with the North Star (Polaris). Thus, the telescope only needs to trace a continuous rotation in one of the axes to compensate for the Earth's rotation. In addition to being convenient, this makes it easier to navigate the sky with the help of a celestial chart.

Tracking is carried out manually through an accessible wheel that is attached to a flexible shaft . In any case, a motor available separately can be attached.

And to provide them with better stability, all Polaris telescopes are supplied with a steel tube tripod .
