SmartStar-G N114 GPS Goto Reflector
Introducing the SmartStar™-G-N114 Newtonian telescope
system. Designed with the latest technology the 114 mm
mirror is crafted with aluminum coated mirrors and exacting
alignment. The precision design virtually eliminates
chromatic aberration for a crisp image without a rainbow
halo. You’ll be able to view planets, star clusters and
nebulae up close. Two eye pieces come
standard to allow for flexibility in viewing either a wider
field or a single focused object.
The SmartStar™-G-N114 Newtonian telescope comes with a
patented Alt-Azimuth Mount, a.k.a. The Cube™. This compact
mount design is probably the most functional and flexible
unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small
single unit which is universally compatible with all
telescopes using a dove-tail connection. In addition, there
are no “dead spots” – so you can point your telescope to
ANYWHERE above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the
telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount
also comes standard with AC connection. An optional DC
adaptor is available so you can plug your telescope motor
into your car if you’re camping or at any remote location.
The
GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar
products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu
categories better organized. It also has the largest LCD
screen on the market with 8 lines of content compared with
others that only have 2 lines. Using the easy-to-use hand
controller, you can easily set up your telescope and select
where you want to go.
The
control system also allows you to slew the telescope at 9
different drive speeds, keeping the object within the
telescope’s viewfinder for as long as you wish.
The 8402 hand controller comes with a USB
port that tremendously expands the functionalities of the
already powerful system. With the USB2COM driver installed,
the USB port works as an RS232 serial port. It supports
firmware upgrades and computer control. With ASCOM protocol,
you can control your telescope with most ASCOM compatible
software. This enables you to utilize the CPU, large screen,
and disk space of your PC/laptop. With a wide selection of
software, your star gazing experience will never be the same
again
The
revolutionary GoToNova computerized control system is by far
the most technologically advanced automated tracking system
available on the market today. With a database of 50,000
celestial objects, including all of the most famous
galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, not to mention the
planets, you’ll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple
push of a button.
All
G-series telescopes come standard with a 32-channel GPS
module for fully automated operation. Simply turn on the
GoToNovaTM Controller and the GPS module will automatically
synchronize your telescope location and time with the
GoToNovaTM computerized control system. View celestial
objects without having to manually punch in the date, time,
latitude or longitude.
