The Skywatcher Explorer 130P 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-130P 130mm 650mm 5.1 '' Parabol Newton on EQ2 mount

This telescope with 130mm aperture and 650mm focal length is a classic Newton telescope, named after its inventor Isaac Newton. The special feature of this telescope is the parabolic main mirror, which, unlike the cost-effective spherical mirrors, unites the light cleanly in the focal point and thus creates a sharp and conspicuous image of the moon and planets. Skywatcher 130P on EQ2

The parallactic EQ2 mount of the telescope is used for exact alignment on the polaris. 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 (like fog and galaxies)
+ 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
