PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The telescope collects a ton of light with its 130mm aperture, making astronomical objects outside our solar system also observable. The short focal length of just 650mm makes the telescope very compact and ideal for observing extended star clusters and nebulae.
A tour of the summer Milky Way will impress you; and in the winter sky, the Pleiades, Orion Nebula and numerous star clusters are easy objects for this telescope. The stable equatorial mount can be polar-aligned. Following the movement of the stars is then easily done by turning a hand control.
It is not only important which telescope you buy, but also where you buy it.
We provide extra help: • We are a leading telescope dealer and know these instruments like the back of our hands.
• We are always very happy to offer our assistance after your purchase, should you encounter any problems with your telescope’s setup or operation.
• Our ‘Telescope Basics’ booklet – an 80-page beginner’s guide for our telescopes – is provided free of charge with every telescope we sell.
