The Explore Scientific Sidara Nano 114mm is a compact beginner Newtonian reflector telescope paired with the app-guided SkyAssist mount. A reflector uses a mirror instead of a lens, so this 114mm (4.5-inch) mirror packs plenty of light-gathering power into an affordable, portable scope — and its fast 500mm focal length (f/4.4) delivers bright, wide views ideal for star clusters and nebulae.

SkyAssist uses your smartphone to figure out where the telescope is aimed and guides you to any object you choose, making it easy to find targets even if you've never used a telescope before.

Who it's for: Beginners and families who want an affordable, portable reflector with smartphone help finding objects. Curious how a reflector compares to other designs? Read our guide to refractor vs reflector vs Dobsonian.

  • 114mm mirror: a 4.5-inch aperture that gathers plenty of light for the price.
  • Fast f/4.4 optics: 500mm focal length gives bright, wide-field views.
  • SkyAssist app guidance: your phone helps locate and centre targets for easy observing.
  • Compact and portable: light and quick to set up for travel and quick sessions.
  • Complete package: optical tube and mount together, ready to observe.

What you'll see: The 114mm mirror shows lunar craters, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons, and its wide, fast field is great for large star clusters, the brighter nebulae like Orion, and sweeping Milky Way starfields from darker skies.

Why choose a reflector?
Reflectors give more aperture for your money, so this 114mm mirror reveals more than a similarly priced small refractor.

How does SkyAssist help me find objects?
Your smartphone works out where the scope is pointing and guides you to any target you choose — no charts or experience needed.

Do reflectors need maintenance?
Occasionally the mirrors need collimation (alignment); it's a quick, simple routine once learned.

Is it good for kids and families?
Yes — it's affordable, portable and easy to aim with SkyAssist, which makes it a great shared first scope.
