Product details
Meade’s Polaris telescopes range offer small telescopes with many accessories on an equatorial mount at a very reasonable price.
The mount is used with one axis aligned on the Pole Star, meaning you only need to move the telescope on one axis to compensate for the movement of the night sky. This is not only convenient, but also makes for easier orientation using a star chart.
This tracking can be done by hand, using the flexible slow-motions provided, or via a small motor which is available as an optional accessory. Polaris telescopes come with a steel tube tripod for better stability.
Polaris – affordable telescopes with a wide range of accessories, everything you need to get started!

The N 114/1000 telescope:
This classical Newtonian design offers a 114mm aperture in a compact design. It is therefore a perfect telescope for beginners, very easy to transport, simple to use and with no special training needed to operate it. This telescope will show you the rings of Saturn and the cloud bands and moons of Jupiter, looking like its own small own planetary system. But the brighter nebulae and star forming regions such as the Orion Nebula can also be seen. Go on a voyage of discovery!
