Explore FirstLight 114mm f/4.3 Newtonian Telescope with EQ3 Mount

A 114mm f/4.3 Newtonian reflector on the EXOS Nano EQ3 German equatorial mount — pairing wide-field deep-sky optics with equatorial tracking for observers who want to follow objects smoothly and try basic astrophotography.

The 114mm mirror with 500mm focal length at f/4.3 produces wide true fields of view — ideal for sweeping through star clusters, nebulae, and the Milky Way. The reflector design delivers all 114mm of aperture without the chromatic aberration of similarly priced refractors. Fully multi-coated optics maximize contrast. The lightweight 6 lb tube keeps the center of gravity low on the mount.

The EXOS Nano EQ3 mount tracks the sky's rotation with dual slow-motion cables, keeping objects centered far longer than an alt-az mount. The 2.5 lb counterweight balances the tube, and the stainless steel tripod provides a stable platform.

Key Features

• 114mm f/4.3 Newtonian reflector, fully multi-coated
• EXOS Nano EQ3 German equatorial mount (15 lb capacity)
• Dual slow-motion control cables and 2.5 lb counterweight
• 500mm focal length — wide-field deep-sky performance
• 25mm Plossl eyepiece, red-dot finder, smartphone adapter
• Optical tube weight: 6 lbs

Ideal For

• Deep-sky observers who want tracking — the EQ mount follows objects so you spend less time nudging and more time observing
• Beginner astrophotographers — the fast f/4.3 ratio gathers light quickly, and equatorial tracking reduces star trails
• Observers upgrading from an alt-az setup — equatorial tracking is the next step toward serious observing
