Meade Instruments EclipseView 114mm f/4 AZ Reflector 
telescope can be used for conventional nighttime viewing or, with the simple installation of the included filter, solar and solar eclipse observation. The full-spectrum white light filter fits on the front of the optical tube (OTA) and allows for safe viewing of sunspots, granulations, planetary transits, and all phases of solar eclipses. With the filter removed, the EclipseView can be used to view celestial subjects such as the Moon, planets, comets, and meteor showers.
To find subjects fast, and to make star-hopping navigation faster, Meade includes a wide-field red-dot finder; and for safe centering of the Sun in the field of view, they also provide a Sun Finder finderscope. The OTA is attached to a manual single-arm alt-azimuth tabletop base that smoothly swivels a full 360° to allow viewing from horizon to horizon in any direction. To get users viewing right out of the box, Meade provides two eyepieces that produce low and high magnifications, and its drawtube will accept any other optional 1.25" accessory such as eyepieces, Barlow lenses, astrophotography adapters, and imaging systems.
