Omegon Telescope Horizon N 114/900 (87241)

Omegon Telescope Horizon N 114/900 (87241)

The N 114/900 is an ideal introduction to deep-sky observation, featuring sharp parabolic optics. If you dream of exploring beyond our solar system and discovering glowing nebulae and ancient star clusters, this telescope opens the door. With its high-quality parabolic primary mirror, it delivers impressive sharpness that stands out in this price range. Experience unforgettable moments, such as seeing Saturn’s rings for the first time or observing the Orion Nebula in detail.

Key Advantages at a Glance

• Sharp images across the entire field of view thanks to the parabolic primary mirror

• 114 mm aperture allows observation of nebulae and objects invisible in smaller telescopes

• Smooth and precise focusing with a Crayford focuser

• Easy compatibility with many mounts and accessories due to the Vixen-style prism rail and universal finder base

The Advantage of Parabolic Optics

Many beginner telescopes use spherical mirrors, which cannot focus light to a single precise point. This often results in blurred images, particularly near the edge of the field. The N 114/900 is equipped with a high-quality parabolic primary mirror, a rare feature in this class. Its specially shaped surface concentrates incoming light accurately at the focal point, producing sharp, high-contrast images across the entire view.

What You Can Discover

With a 114 mm aperture, this telescope gathers 2.6 times more light than a 70 mm instrument. This significantly expands what you can observe.

• Globular clusters such as M13 in Hercules begin to resolve into individual stars at the edges

• Planetary nebulae like the Ring Nebula in Lyra appear as glowing rings in the night sky

• Planets reveal impressive details, including Jupiter’s cloud bands, the Great Red Spot, its four largest moons, and Saturn’s striking ring system

Precise Focusing with the Crayford Focuser

Unlike basic rack-and-pinion focusers often found in entry-level telescopes, the Crayford focuser offers smooth, backlash-free adjustment. Operating on ball bearings, it allows accurate and comfortable focusing, even at higher magnifications. Achieving sharp focus becomes quick and effortless from the very beginning.

Complete Accessory Package for an Easy Start

The included accessory set ensures you can begin observing immediately. Two Plössl eyepieces provide low and medium magnifications. The 2x Barlow lens doubles the magnification when placed between the telescope and eyepiece.

An LED red dot finder with adjustable brightness helps you quickly locate celestial objects. The extension tube allows you to achieve the correct focus position when required.

Turn Your Smartphone into an Astro Camera

The smartphone adapter enables you to attach your mobile phone directly to the eyepiece and capture your observations. Photograph detailed lunar landscapes or Jupiter and its moons with ease. The Bluetooth remote shutter release reduces vibrations for sharper images, making it simple to share your discoveries.
