## Long description

Skywatcher BK 1145 EQ1 is a refractor telescope with a 114 mm objective aperture and a 500 mm focal length, mounted on an EQ1 equatorial mount. The optical tube and mount are included in a compact setup designed for beginner astronomers and portable use. This instrument is intended for visual observation of the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects and balances light-gathering power with ease of setup for backyard or travel observing.
Advantages
The 114 mm aperture provides noticeably better light-gathering ability compared with small beginner refractors, improving views of lunar detail, planetary features and brighter nebulae. The relatively short 500 mm focal length delivers a wider field of view, making locating objects and framing extended targets easier. The EQ1 equatorial mount allows basic sidereal tracking and easier manual follow-up of objects once polar alignment is approximated. The compact optical tube and included mount make the whole setup portable and straightforward to transport.
Suitable for
 Visual lunar observation and study of lunar surface features
 Planetary viewing of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and their major moons
 Observation of brighter deep-sky objects such as star clusters and emission nebulae
 Beginner astronomy and learning equatorial mount operation
 Portable backyard sessions and short travel observing trips
Key specifications
 Optical design: refractor
 Objective aperture: 114 mm
 Focal length: 500 mm
 Mount type: equatorial (EQ1)
 Suitable for visual observation
 Compact, transportable tube length and footprint
How to use
Set the telescope on a stable surface and assemble the optical tube on the EQ1 mount according to the supplied mounting points. Roughly align the mount’s polar axis toward the north celestial pole to simplify tracking. Start with a low-power eyepiece to locate targets and center them in the field of view, then switch to higher magnification if seeing conditions and target brightness allow. Use slow, controlled manual adjustments on the equatorial axes to follow objects as the Earth rotates.
Usage recommendations
For best results, perform a basic polar alignment outdoors with a clear view to the northern horizon and use low-power eyepieces for initial locating. Avoid using very high magnifications in poor seeing or light-polluted locations; instead, focus on lunar and planetary detail and bright deep-sky objects. Carry a small padded case for the optical tube and protect the objective from dew with a lens cap when not in use.
