Sky-Watcher StarQuest 1145P 114mm f/4.4 Parabolic Equatorial Newtonian Telescope

Sky-Watcher StarQuest 1145P 114mm f/4.4 Parabolic Equatorial Newtonian Telescope

Product Code: 10286

The Sky-Watcher StarQuest 1145P is a compact yet powerful grab-and-go Newtonian reflector telescope, combining high-quality parabolic optics with a precision-engineered equatorial mount. Designed for beginners and progressing observers alike, it delivers excellent performance on the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae and brighter galaxies—while remaining lightweight and easy to set up.

With fast f/4.4 optics, smooth slow-motion tracking, and smartphone imaging support included, the StarQuest 1145P is an ideal all-round telescope for visual astronomy and first steps into astrophotography.

🔭 High-Quality Parabolic Optics

At the heart of the StarQuest 1145P is a 114mm parabolic primary mirror, delivering sharp, well-corrected views across the field of view. Compared to entry-level spherical mirrors, the parabolic design provides improved contrast and detail—especially noticeable on the Moon and planets.

The mirrors feature Radiant™ Aluminium Quartz (RAQ™) coatings, offering up to 94% reflectivity for bright, high-contrast images with excellent long-term durability.

With 125% more light-gathering power than a 76mm telescope, faint deep-sky objects become significantly easier to observe.

⚙️ StarQuest Equatorial Mount – Precise & Stable

The StarQuest equatorial mount is engineered for smooth, accurate tracking once polar aligned. Precision 122-tooth gearing on both axes, combined with slow-motion control cables, allows you to follow celestial objects easily as they move across the night sky.

Key mount features include:

• Smooth RA and DEC slow-motion controls

• High-quality clutch system

• Stable adjustable aluminium tripod

• Accessory tray for added rigidity

• Maximum payload capacity of 3kg

The mount can also be used in alt-azimuth mode for casual observing if preferred.

📱 Smartphone Imaging Ready

The StarQuest 1145P includes a universal smartphone camera adaptor, allowing you to capture images of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects directly through the eyepiece. It fits smartphones with widths between 54–90mm, making it an excellent introduction to basic astrophotography.

🎯 Included Accessories
