Omegon Horizon N 114/500 AZ-Bellavista telescope (80899)

Omegon Horizon N 114/500 AZ-Bellavista Telescope (80899)

The N 114/500 is a wide-angle telescope designed for impressive views of the night sky. With its short 500 mm focal length, it delivers breathtaking rich-field observations of large star clusters, nebulae, and the Milky Way. Thanks to its high-quality parabolic primary mirror, it provides outstanding sharpness that stands out in this class. This telescope is ideal for anyone who prefers observing the sky in a wide, panoramic format.

Key Advantages at a Glance

• Parabolic primary mirror for razor-sharp stars right to the edge of the field of view

• Large field of view, perfect for extended celestial objects

• Compact and bright design with a 114 mm aperture in a short, portable tube

• Smooth and precise Crayford focuser for wobble-free focusing

• Quick and simple setup, so you can spend more time observing

The Rich-Field Experience

A “rich-field” telescope allows you to observe a vast section of the sky at once. While long focal length telescopes act like telephoto lenses with strong magnification, the N 114/500 works like a wide-angle lens. You can explore the dense star fields of the Milky Way and admire open clusters such as the Pleiades in their entirety. Higher magnification can easily be achieved by using a short focal length eyepiece.

Parabolic Mirror for Superior Image Quality

At the heart of this telescope is a precision-crafted parabolic primary mirror. Unlike spherical mirrors commonly found in many entry-level models, this mirror focuses light to a precise point. The result is sharp, well-defined stars across the entire wide field of view. The improvement in clarity is immediately noticeable.

Crayford Focuser for Precise Adjustment

The modern Crayford focuser ensures accurate and smooth focusing. Its ball-bearing mechanism allows wobble-free movement, making focusing both easy and comfortable. This is especially beneficial for lunar photography. The focuser is compatible with all 1.25-inch eyepieces, regardless of manufacturer.

AZ-Bellavista Mount for Quick and Flexible Observing

Whether observing wildlife during the day or celestial objects at night, the AZ-Bellavista mount allows fast and intuitive positioning. It operates similarly to a high-quality camera tripod but offers the stability and precision required for astronomical observation. It is an excellent choice for spontaneous viewing sessions.

Mount Advantages at a Glance

• Quick setup using the L-rail mounting system

• Smooth movement on both axes with precision gears

• Suitable for both nature and astronomical observation

• Stable stainless steel tripod for steady images

• Universal mounting compatibility for various telescopes

Simple Operation in All Directions

No polar alignment is required. The mount allows easy movement left, right, up, and down, just like a camera tripod. This makes it perfect for spontaneous observation of the Moon, planets, or terrestrial objects. Targets can be located within seconds.

Smooth Fine Adjustment for Accurate Tracking

Unlike standard photo tripods, the Bellavista mount includes fine gears on both axes. Two rotary handles allow precise control, keeping your object centered even at high magnifications. These smooth movements ensure relaxed and enjoyable observing.

Robust Stainless Steel Tripod

The stable stainless steel tripod provides a steady image, even in windy conditions. A practical accessory tray clicks into place and keeps eyepieces and accessories within easy reach. This solid foundation maximizes the telescope’s performance.

Omegon Accessory Box for a Complete Start

The included accessory set provides everything needed for immediate observation and even first attempts at lunar photography. Instead of purchasing items separately, you receive a coordinated package with enhanced quality.

The set includes two eyepieces for low and medium magnification. A 2x Barlow lens doubles the magnification by inserting it between the eyepiece and telescope. An LED red dot finder simplifies locating objects in the sky. The extension tube helps achieve the correct focus position when needed.

Turn Your Smartphone into an Astro Camera

A smartphone adapter allows you to attach your mobile phone directly to the eyepiece for astrophotography. Capture detailed lunar craters or photograph Jupiter and its moons. The included Bluetooth remote shutter release minimizes vibration for sharp images. Sharing your astronomical discoveries with friends and family becomes simple and enjoyable.
