The SpaceProbe 130 reflector features a 130mm (5.1") primary mirror and focal length of 650mm (f/5), yielding a wide field of view and bright images.
The primary is a diffraction-limited parabolic mirror. On a short-focal-length design like this, a parabolic mirror is a must for delivering sharp, detailed images. Parabolic mirrors are more expensive to manufacture, but the payoff is in higher quality images in the eyepiece.
The 1.25" 25mm and 10mm Plossl eyepiece provide a 26x and 65x view of the night sky. Use the 25mm to start exploring, and then switch to the 10mm for a close-up view. The SpaceProbe 130ST telescope sits on a robust equatorial mount with slow-motion control knobs.
After a polar-aligning, the EQ mount allows you to track celestial objects in the sky so you can observe them in detail. The adjustable-height tripod is strong yet lightweight and includes an accessory tray to keep your observing gear close by. The SpaceProbe 130ST EQ weighs 28 lbs.
and is easy telescope to take out to your favorite stargazing spot.
