For the more serious view of the night sky we would recommend the Europa 150 in preference to a 114 model. It's larger optics produce 75% brighter images with almost 33% more visible detail. The Europa 150 is the most popular 150mm (6") telescope on sale in the UK. It achieved this position primarily because of it's unquestionable optical and mechanical performance and, of course, it's price tag.
We are quite sure you will not find better images in any similar aperture reflector in the market, today. Supplied with two quality 1.25" diameter eyepieces - 10mm and 25mm and featuring the Vixen Polaris GPE Equatorial Mount ,with slow-motion controls, all supported on the sturdy P90 adjustable Varnished Hardwood Tripod with accessory tray. This Mount can be driven by a Quartz single or dual axis drive system - totally automatically - if required.
The f/5 configuration is more suitable for general views of the heavens, whereas the f/8 model is, if you have a tendancy towards planetary and lunar observations. For dedicated planetary and lunar observers, where higher magnifications are needed, we have the f11 model.
