Skywatcher Heritage-114P Virtuoso Newtonian on Autotracking Mount
The perfect Lifestyle Gift! - Ideal grab-and-go ScopeThe Heritage-114P Newtonian with its superb parabolic mirror provides excellent all-round performance for the observation of the moon, the planets, and Deep-Sky objects.
MountThe Virtuoso mount provides a stable platform and will track night sky objects automatically once located.
The telescope can be slewed automatically in both axes, at five different speeds, via the mount´s electronic keypad.
A great feature of the Virtuoso is the patented Freedom-Find dual-encoder technology which also allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without losing its alignment or positional information, giving the user enormous convenience and flexibility during observing sessions.
Furthermore, the Virtuoso mount can be upgraded to GoTo by purchasing a Synscan AZ GoTo handset and cable, allowing 42,900+ night sky objects to be automatically found from its extensive database.
As well as its superb astronomical functionality, the Virtuoso mount has a lot of other clever features for photography (camera not included).
Camera Cruising Take photographs automatically with your DSLR at up to 6 preset positions. The mount will stop at each predetermined position and automatically trigger the camera´s shutter release. (Canon-D electronic shutter release cable supplied)
Video Cruising / Time Lapse PhotographyThe mount can automatically move your video camera through up to 6 preset positions without any pause. Up to 5 speeds can be selected in this mode (see below)
