Astronomical Telescope
Astronomical Telescope (Product Code: SCL/AG26-102) is a tripod-mounted optical telescope used to observe the Moon, planets and brighter star fields in school, college and astronomy-club teaching. It has a 114mm aperture, a 5 x 24 finder scope and a set of standard 0.965" eyepieces with a 3X Barlow lens, on an extendable aluminium tripod with slow-motion vertical adjustment, a useful addition to optics lab equipment. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Astronomical Telescope Used For?
The 114mm aperture gathers enough light to show craters and mountains on the Moon, the phases of Venus, the four bright moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and many star clusters. Students first line up a target with the small finder scope, then centre it in the main tube with the low-power H20mm eyepiece before moving to the H12.5mm or SR4mm eyepieces, or adding the 3X Barlow lens, for more magnification.
The 1.5x erector gives an upright image, so the same instrument can be used by day for distant landscapes and birds. The slow-motion rod lets you follow an object smoothly as the Earth turns. Never point the telescope or finder at the Sun without a proper solar filter, and let the tube adjust to outdoor temperature before a viewing session.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Which objective focal length you require, as the listing shows both 700mm and 600mm.
- Number of telescopes, for example one per observing group or one for the school.
- Any charts or models you want quoted with it for classroom astronomy lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What aperture does the Astronomical Telescope have?
The Astronomical Telescope has a 114mm aperture. Aperture decides how much light the telescope collects, and this size is well suited to observing the Moon, the brighter planets and star clusters from a school or college observing site.
Which eyepieces come with the Astronomical Telescope?
The Astronomical Telescope comes with standard 0.965" accessories: SR4mm, H12.5mm and H20mm eyepieces, a 3X Barlow lens and a 1.5x erector. The finder is a 5 x 24 sighting scope, and an accessory tray keeps the parts together on the tripod.
How tall is the Astronomical Telescope tripod?
The Astronomical Telescope stands on a lightweight, extendable aluminium three-legged tripod with a maximum height of 125cm. It has a manual alt-azimuth elevation rod and a slow-motion control rod for fine vertical adjustment while tracking an object.
Can the Astronomical Telescope be used for daytime viewing?
Yes. With the supplied 1.5x erector, the Astronomical Telescope gives an upright image suitable for distant land objects in daylight. It must never be pointed at or near the Sun unless a proper solar filter is fitted over the front.
Who supplies the Astronomical Telescope?
The Astronomical Telescope is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, science centres, dealers and importers. It can be combined with other physics and geography items in one order for India and international markets.
What focal length is the Astronomical Telescope?
The Astronomical Telescope listing gives the objective focal length as 700mm and 600mm. Please state which you need when requesting a quotation through the contact page, and we will confirm the exact configuration before you order.
