Sky Watcher Explorer 130M Telescope

For those moving into more capable backyard astronomy, the Sky-Watcher Explorer-130M brings together a 130mm Newtonian reflector optical tube, 900mm focal length and an EQ2 equatorial mount in a well-established manual setup. The larger aperture gives this model the reach for lunar and planetary observation as well as deeper views of galaxies and nebulae, while the 900mm focal length supports higher magnifications without relying on very short focal length eyepieces.

Sky-Watcher includes a deluxe R. A. motor drive with multi-speed handset, adding powered tracking to the manual German equatorial mount. With magnifications of x36, x72, x90 and x180 from the supplied optics, and a highest practical power of x260, this telescope suits beginners who want a more substantial reflector with room to grow.
