The Meade Polaris 114EQ telescope is a good choice in initiating deep sky observation in addition to planetary observation. By having a larger aperture, the light gathering is greater and thus allows a clearer and more contrasting observation.
The slow-tracking equatorial mount makes it easy to track celestial objects in the dark, making it easier to find details in the universe.
The AutoStar Suite Astronomer PC program offers you a complete celestial guide with over 10,000 objects and the ability to print your own celestial charts to guide you during observation.
