The Skywatcher Explorer-130 is controlled and adjusted by us before delivery. The eyepiece output is stopped.
All Newton telescopes should be adjusted before the first use and then regularly to get a sharp image. We therefore adjust all our Newton before they leave our house.

Telescope Skywatcher Explorer-130 130mm 900mm Newton on EQ2 mount with accessories
This Skywatcher 130/900 Newton mirror telescope has been a tried and tested model for 300 years, named after its inventor and first user: Isaak Newton. It shows just beginners and young people a very original form of technical sky observation. Newton telescopes are particularly popular because they have more light output in the same price class as their louvres, for example lens telescopes (refractors).
Telescope Skywatcher Explorer-130 130 / 900mm Newton on EQ2 mount with accessories
The telescope has a 130mm aperture with a focal length of 900mm (f6.9) and collects 344 times more light than the human eye and has 30% more light output than a Newton with 144mm aperture, for example. Its 260-fold, sensible, expansion capability offers beautiful lunar and detailed planet observations (like the rings of Saturn, moon shadow games on Jupiter or its big red spot) and also interesting deep-sky excursions to brighter objects such as the Orion Nebula, (H and chi) in the Perseus or even the galaxy groups M81.
The parallactic EQ2 mount of the telescope serves the Skywatcher Telescope Explorer on EQ2exact alignment on the polarisers. With the manual fine adjustment in the rectification and declination axis as well as with the LED illuminated spot detector, objects can be finely adjusted and tracked, with the correct pole height or geographical width. The corresponding counter-weight is used to optimize the optics. The telescopic field stand with storage area completes the equipment, which is very light and compact and therefore fits almost every travel bag. The construction can be done simply and quite quickly by beginners and children.
Product advantages:
+ Ideal for larger children (from about 12 years) and beginners + Suitable for contrasting moon and planet observation and Also brighter deep-sky objects + Size opening opposite refractors in the same price class for more light output + Fine adjustment and LED illuminated spotlights facilitate inutable on and off After-balancing (compensation of the earth rotation) of objects + Tripod height adjustable + Cheap in the purchase
Note:
- Not suitable for landscape observation. We recommend a refractor in this price category. - Not suitable for astrophotography. - In addition, we recommend a moon filter for the protection of the eyes and the moon For better contrast. - Field stand required after touch / vibration 4-6 sec. Decay time for A "wiggle-free" observation
