The SkyWatcher SkyHawk 1141 EQ1 Compact is the ultimate universal choice for any beginner looking to make a strong entry into the world of astronomy, combining excellent optical capabilities with small size and lightweight design. This classic Newtonian reflector telescope features 114 mm mirror diameter, providing excellent light-gathering ability. Thanks to its corrected design with a catadioptric-style tube, it achieves a long focal length of 1000 mm while maintaining a very small and compact tube length, making it incredibly easy to transport.

Designed to offer a unique exploration experience without requiring special training to operate, the SkyHawk 1141 is capable of studying a vast array of celestial objects. Pointing the telescope towards the night sky, you will be able to observe with impressive clarity the famous rings of Saturn, the characteristic cloud bands and bright moons of Jupiter, as well as the craters of the Moon. Additionally, its optical power allows you to locate some of the brightest deep-sky objects, such as the mesmerizing Orion Nebula.

The telescope is equipped with a sturdy EQ1 equatorial mount, which offers the ideal balance of weight and performance, ensuring top stability during observation. The equatorial design allows you to accurately align the instrument with the North Star regardless of your location. For your maximum convenience, the mount incorporates flexible micro-movement cables on the right ascension and declination axes, enabling smooth manual targeting and easy manual correction of star tracking.

The experience of stargazing is elevated as the package includes the electric motor (star tracker) for Right Ascension. The motor automatically tracks celestial objects, compensating for Earth's rotation, keeping the object steady in your visual field. This feature, combined with the adjustable lightweight aluminum tripod, makes the SkyHawk 1141 ideal for outdoor excursions under dark skies, while also allowing an initial introduction to astrophotography of the Moon and planets using special adapters (not included). For the care of the mirrors, it is recommended to use special protective covers against dust.
