AmScope Reflector EQ Telescope with Equatorial Mount – 114mm Aperture, 900mm Focal

Overview

Designed for newcomers and curious explorers, the AmScope Reflector EQ Telescope blends a capable 114 mm aperture with a practical German equatorial mount. The result is steady, thoughtful observing sessions, where tracking a chosen object across the night sky feels achievable rather than rushed. A polished stainless steel tripod provides stable footing, while the chassis is built to endure outdoor use during family stargazing or science evenings.

What you’ll observe and how it feels to use it

With bright lunar details and crisp planetary hints, the 114 mm aperture invites you to notice relief on the Moon, subtle planetary bands, and sparkling star clusters when skies are favorable. The 900 mm focal length offers a balanced mix of wide views and magnified glimpses for closer inspection, making it suitable for casual sessions, classroom demos, or weekend astronomy outings.

• Equatorial mount with slow-motion controls enables smooth tracking for extended visibility.
• Included eyepieces (26 mm, 9 mm, 6.3 mm) provide quick options for exploring from broad to close-up views.
• 2x Barlow lens expands magnification opportunities, letting you experiment with detail on planets or deep-sky targets during clear sessions.
• Red dot finder provides a simple aiming aid to locate objects with confidence.
• Stainless steel full-height tripod, diagonal erect-image optics, and an accessory tray keep the setup stable and organized.
