Sky-Watcher 114/450 AZ-Go2 Explorer Newtonian Telescope (Wi-Fi)

The Sky-Watcher 114/450 AZ-Go2 Explorer Newtonian is a fully automatic telescope designed for beginners who want to skip the complexity of manual searching and get straight to observing. Aligning the mount is incredibly fast thanks to the "Bright Object" alignment mode, while the computerized SynScan system provides an ultimate upgrade that automatically points to and tracks over 42,000 objects in the night sky. By using the SynScan App on your smartphone or tablet, you can control the telescope wirelessly via Wi-Fi, ensuring less time is spent hunting for faint nebulae and more time is spent enjoying the view. Astronomy has never been so easy—why push when you can Go-To!

Equipped with superb parabolic optics, this 114mm Newtonian reflector provides excellent all-around performance for observing the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. The AZ-Go2 Mount is remarkably portable, featuring a lightweight 1.3kg design powered by a smooth DC motor system. It is fully compatible with iOS and Android devices, as well as an optional SynScan hand controller, allowing for seamless tracking of celestial targets as they move across the sky. Whether you are a first-time stargazer or looking for a compact, tech-driven setup, this 114/450mm system offers the perfect balance of optical power and modern wireless convenience.

Product Features in Detail

Parabolic Mirror Precision

Unlike standard spherical mirrors found in many entry-level telescopes, this Newtonian features a parabolic primary mirror. This specialized shape corrects "spherical aberration," ensuring that light from the edges of the mirror hits the same focal point as the center for significantly sharper, high-contrast images.

Fast f/4 Optical System

With a focal ratio of f/4, this telescope is optimized for wide-field viewing. It is particularly effective at capturing light from large, faint deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy, providing bright views that are perfect for beginners.

Smart Wi-Fi Control

The built-in Wi-Fi module eliminates the need for bulky hand controllers. Using the SynScan App on your mobile device, you can simply tap on a star or planet on your screen, and the telescope will automatically move to center that object in your eyepiece.

Compact Newtonian Design

The 450mm focal length allows for a short, manageable optical tube. This compact size makes it an ideal "grab-and-go" telescope that fits easily in a car for camping trips or can be moved into the backyard in a single trip.

Accurate DC Motor Tracking

Once the Go-To system locates your target, the internal DC motors take over to counteract the Earth's rotation. This keeps objects centered in the eyepiece for long periods, which is essential for high-magnification planetary viewing or sharing the view with a group.

Expandable System Design

The AZ-Go2 mount features a standard Vixen-style dovetail saddle, allowing you to easily swap the 114mm tube for other small telescopes in the future. Additionally, a dedicated port allows for an optional SynScan hand controller for those who prefer physical buttons.
