IDEAL GRAB-AND-GO SCOPE - A PERFECT LIFESTYLE GIFT!
The Heritage-114P with its superb parabolic mirror provides excellent all-round performance for the observation of the Moon and planets and Deep-Sky objects.
The Virtuoso™ mount provides a stable platform and will track night sky objects automatically once located. The telescope can be slewed automatically in both axes, at five different speeds, via the mount’s electronic keypad.
A great feature of the Virtuosoâ„¢ is the patented Freedom-Findâ„¢ dual-encoder technology which also allows the telescope to be moved manually in either axis without losing its alignment or positional information, giving the user enormous convenience and flexibility during observing sessions.
Furthermore, the Virtuosoâ„¢ mount can be upgraded to GoTo by purchasing a Synscanâ„¢ AZ GoTo handset and cable, allowing 42,900+ night sky objects to be automatically found from its extensive database.
As well as its superb astronomical functionality, the Virtuosoâ„¢ mount has a lot of other clever features for photography (camera not included):
