The Sky-Watcher SKYHAWK models feature shorter, more compact telescope tube lengths resulting in lighter-weight telescopes of excellent convenience and portability.

They are a particularly good choice of instrument for the more serious novice astronomer wanting larger aperture and increased performance at a relatively low cost.

The SKYHAWK-1145P models feature premium-quality Parabolic Primary Mirrors, normally found in larger more expensive telescopes, to eliminate spherical aberrations, producing even sharper, higher-contrast images which are full of detail.

A parabolic or more accurately a "paraboloidal" mirror, is ground to a shape which brings all incoming light rays to a perfect focus, on axis. In addition they feature 0.5mm Ultra-Thin secondary mirror supports, to reduce diffraction spikes and light loss.
