Explore One Reflector Telescopes
Reflector telescopes use a curved mirror instead of a lens to gather light, which allows larger apertures at affordable prices. Explore One reflector telescopes give young astronomers brighter views of the night sky, revealing more stars, star clusters and nebulae, along with detailed views of the Moon and planets.
Explore One reflectors, such as the Aurora II 114mm, combine generous aperture with smooth slow-motion alt-azimuth mounts that make it easy for kids and beginners to find and follow objects. A 114mm mirror gathers significantly more light than a small refractor, opening up views of the Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy and globular star clusters from darker skies.
Like all Newtonian reflectors, Explore One reflector telescopes may occasionally need collimation, a simple mirror alignment that keeps images sharp. They are an excellent choice for older kids and families who want to explore beyond the Moon and planets and discover the wonders of deep space.
