Skywatcher BK 1141EQ1 telescope

The Sky Watcher BK1141EQ1 mirror telescope is an essential tool for an introduction to the field of amateur astronomy. Despite its relatively small and compact tube, a special system has been built in to extend the telescope's focal length to 1000 mm.

The main advantage of the Sky Watcher BK1141EQ1 with Newtonian optics is its aperture of 114 mm. This telescope collects about 190 times more light than the human eye at night, providing the ability to observe objects up to nearly 12 stellar magnitudes. The optical resolution allows resolution of stars more than 1.2" apart.

The EQ1 parallactic mount allows the telescope to be positioned according to an atlas or sky map, as well as smooth micro-adjustment in the axis of rectascension and declination.

The telescope is equipped with an eyepiece extractor, allowing the use of 1.25" eyepieces. The kit comes with two eyepieces with focal lengths of 25 and 10mm, giving magnifications of 40x and 100x.

To invert the image, use a so-called straightening lens, which will reverse the image to natural (straight).
