Product Description

The Meade DS-2114ATS with Level North Technology (LNT) brings microprocessor technology and the very latest in electromechanical design to the serious beginning or intermediate observer. -- The scope provides extremely smooth motions in both altitude and azimuth, and, most importantly, includes a fully integrated AutoStar control system as standard equipment. Oversize bearings on both telescope axes negate the imprecisions found universally, virtually without exception, on competing models. -- A large and exciting array of objects is visible, including the Cassini division in the rings; Saturn's largest satellite, Titan; the four largest satellites of Jupiter, as well as cloud belts across the planet's disc; Moon craters, mountain ranges and fault lines by the hundreds; and hundreds of deep-space phenomena like galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. -- Other features include: large 114mm (4.5") aperture; motorized GO-TO altazimuth reflecting short tube design; 1,000mm focal length (f/8.8); 2 premium Series 4000 Super Plossl eyepieces (9.7mm and 26mm); and SmartFinder(TM) with LNT including electronic level sensor, electronic magnetic north sensor, high- precision internal clock and red dot project finder. Includes AutoStar Suite Astronomer Edition software, instructional DVD and aluminum tripod with accessory tray.
