Home Telescopes Telescopes for Beginners Beginner Telescopes over 150 pounds SkyWatcher Heritage 114P Virtuoso Telescope
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, a compact high quality Newtonian Reflector. 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 Virtuoso is the patented Freedom-Find 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.Add the 20318 synscan WiFi adapter for full goto via your smartphone or tablet
