Sky-Watcher SkyHawk 114/1000 EQ-1 astronomical telescope

Looking for a telescope that delivers solid optical performance, is easy to take on a trip, and does not come with an astronomical price tag? The Sky-Watcher SkyHawk 114/1000 EQ-1 is exactly that kind of choice. This Newtonian reflector with a 114 mm primary mirror and a 1000 mm focal length is a proven combination for observing the night sky - whether you are standing in your backyard or have travelled far from city light pollution.

Optical performance

The 114 mm aperture provides sufficient light-gathering power for observing the Moon, solar system planets, and a wide range of deep-sky objects - nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. The 1000 mm focal length results in a focal ratio of f/8.8, which is a very comfortable value for a Newtonian - the optics are less demanding on eyepiece quality and deliver a sharp image across the entire field of view. The shortened tube, compared to classic Newtonians of the same aperture, contributes to the overall compactness of the instrument and makes handling and transport easier.

EQ-1 equatorial mount

The telescope is fitted with an EQ-1 equatorial mount, which, once correctly polar-aligned, allows straightforward tracking of objects by moving in a single axis - right ascension. This is particularly appreciated when observing planets or taking your first steps in astrophotography. A major advantage of the EQ-1 mount is its compatibility with a motor drive, available as an optional accessory. Once installed, the mount automatically compensates for Earth's rotation and keeps the observed object in the field of view without manual corrections - a practical feature for anyone who does not want to keep nudging the eyepiece to recentre the target.

Who is this telescope for?

The compact travel reflector Sky-Watcher SkyHawk is designed to serve two groups of users:

Beginners will appreciate the accessible price, ease of use, and the equatorial mount - which is easier to learn than an alt-azimuth mount if you plan to continue studying the sky.
Experienced observers and travellers will welcome the small dimensions and low weight - the telescope fits easily into a car or a mountain cabin, where the sky is usually at its most beautiful.

The EQ-1 mount with standard bolt clamps is also compatible with a wide range of accessories available on the market.

Typical magnifications

The recommended magnification is highlighted in yellow.
D = telescope aperture in millimeters

Maximum useful (2D):
222x
(with a 4.5 mm eyepiece)

Maximum Useful Magnification (2D)
The highest magnification that a telescope can realistically use. Above this value, the image becomes dim, blurry, and shows no additional detail due to optical and atmospheric limits.

Resolving (1.4D):
167x
(with a 6 mm eyepiece)

TIP: Binorum Plössl 6mm 52° 1.25″ Planetary Eyepiece

39.75 €

Resolving Magnification (1.4D)
The magnification at which the telescope reaches its maximum resolving power. Fine details become visible, but increasing magnification further does not improve sharpness.

High (1D):
111x
(with a 9 mm eyepiece)

High Magnification (1D)
A strong magnification suitable for detailed observations of the Moon, planets, and close double stars under good atmospheric conditions.

Optimal (0.7D):
80x
(with a 12.5 mm eyepiece)

TIP: Binorum Plössl 12,5mm 50° 1.25″ Eyepiece

40.20 €

Optimal Magnification (0.7D)
The best overall magnification for most observations. It provides a good balance between image brightness, contrast, and detail, and is often the most comfortable to use.

Medium (D/2):
56x
(with a 18 mm eyepiece)

Medium Magnification (D/2)
A versatile magnification range suitable for many deep-sky objects, such as star clusters and galaxies, as well as general lunar observing.

Low (D/3):
38x
(with a 26 mm eyepiece)

Low Magnification (D/3)
A wide-field magnification used for scanning the sky, observing large nebulae, and locating objects before switching to higher power.

Minimum (D/6):
19x
(with a 53 mm eyepiece)

Minimum Magnification (D/6)
The lowest practical magnification of a telescope. It provides the widest possible field of view and is mainly used for star fields, Milky Way observations, and object finding.
