The EclipseView telescopes are light and uncomplicated. They are ideal
for a quick look at our solar system: moon, planets and sun!
The
sun may only be observed with optical instruments that are specially
equipped for it! The accessories for the EclipseView telescopes already
contain everything you need for a safe observation of the sun: Put the
ISO-certified sun filter with its precisely fitting socket on the front
end of the telescope. It ensures that only a tiny fraction of solar
radiation gets into the instrument. With this "white light filter" the
photosphere of the sun can be observed. The photosphere shows
fascinatingly structured sunspots, the number of which changes in an
eleven-year cycle: The view of the sun is never the same!
The enclosed sun finder helps to point the telescope towards the sun.
The
sun is going down, it is night: Remove the sun filter and replace it
with the red dot finder. With this viewfinder, it is very easy to set
the moon and planets. With your EclipseView telescope you can observe
craters on the moon, the phases of Venus, Jupiter with its moons and the
rings of Saturn. Even bright nebulae, like the Orion Nebula, are within
the range of these telescopes.
The N 114/450 optics
already collect 270 times more light than the human eye. Well-known star
clusters and other bright DeepSky objects can be seen impressively.
Thanks
to the short focal length and the wide field of view, open star
clusters can be completely overlooked. This large field optic makes it
easier for beginners in particular to find celestial objects.
With this telescope you can also observe the moon and planets in over 200 times magnification - an impressive sight!
The
N 114/450 is a compact optic that does not make high demands on the
adjustment - ideal for the entry into the sky observation!
The
EclipseView series was launched by Meade specifically for the total
solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, which was very visible in North
America. Partial, ring-shaped or fatal solar eclipses are not uncommon
globally. For example, there will be three solar eclipses and a Mercury
transit in 2019. The light EclipseView telescopes fit in your luggage:
make a solar eclipse your holiday destination!
