National Geographic 114/500 Compact Telescope

The National Geographic 114/500 Compact Telescope pairs a light-gathering 114 mm (4.5 in) mirror with a simple tabletop mount. It is a confident start for beginners and families who want bright views without complicated setup.

Features and Benefits

The 114 mm Newtonian reflector with a 500 mm (19.7 in) focal length works at a fast f/4.4. That short focal ratio gives wide fields, which makes star-hopping and sweeping the Milky Way easier.

Additionally, the Dobsonian-style table mount points intuitively by hand. There are no counterweights or alignment steps, so new observers spend more time looking and less time setting up.

Furthermore, the kit is complete. Two eyepieces (6 mm and 20 mm) and a 2x Barlow cover 25x to 167x. A moon filter, LED red dot finder, compass and software round it out, and dust caps protect the optics.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Carry National Geographic 114/500 Compact Telescope to a camp in Mleiha or Al Quaa and set it on a table for Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons. At 3,750 g (8.3 lb) with accessories, it travels easily in the boot for weekend trips.
