overcoat an a built-in matching diagonal mirror. Meade 114 EQ A Short Tube Reflector Telescope
features large deluxe equatorial mount with covered gears, precision slow-motion controls
actuated by spring steel flex-cables on both axes. Because the earth rotates once on its axis
every 24 hours, celestial objects move rapidly through the telescopic field, particularly at
higher powers. The Equatorial Mount of the Meade Telescope 114 EQ-A greatly facilitates object
tracking, simply by manually turning one or both of the control cables.

The large 114 mm diameter mirror of 114EQ A Equatorial Mount Meade Telescopes gathers 361% more
light than 60mm telescopes. Fainter, more distant objects can be seen in far greater detail. The
beginning amateur who intends to use a manual telescope on a regular basis will find the 114mm
