Sky Watcher Starquest DX130P Reflector Astronomy Telescope with DX Deluxe EQ Mount

Built around a 130mm parabolic Newtonian reflector, the Sky-Watcher Starquest DX130P brings together a practical 650mm focal length, fast f/5 optics and the Starquest DX Deluxe equatorial mount in one complete telescope kit. This reflector model is supplied with a fully adjustable stainless steel tripod, accessory tray, 10mm and 20mm eyepieces, a Red Dot Finder and a universal smartphone adaptor.

The DX130P is positioned as an all-round telescope for viewing the Moon, bright planets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters. Its equatorial mount uses slow-motion cable controls on both right ascension and declination axes for controlled manual tracking once polar aligned, while 360 gearing on both axes supports smooth movement across the night sky. Sky-Watcher’s Radiant Aluminium Quartz mirror coating provides up to 94% reflectivity, and the mount accepts an optional RA motor drive for auto-tracking.
