Product description

The N 130 / 650 telescope:

This telescope is a good starting point for new amateur astronomers. With 30% more light gathering capacity than a 114mm telescope, even more fascinating celestial objects can be observed by amateur astronomer newbies. The 130mm aperture and 650 mm focal length high-performance optics allow you to observe many nebulae and other DSOs. With an f5 aperture ratio, the telescope is also ideal for wide field observing. Breathtakingly beautiful Open clusters are well worth seeking out too. Its short length means that the telescope is very stable, even on smaller mounts, with vibrations damping down very quickly. The external design can also be considered a real gem, boasting an elegant design of the highest calibre.

The advantages in a nutshell:


  • 344X light gathering power
  • vibration resistant and wind insensitive due to compact design
  • highly portable and quickly assembled

Included in delivery:

  • tube with optics
  • focuser
  • eyepieces
  • finder

The EQ-3: This equatorial mount provides the opportunity to precisely align scopes with Polaris. The correct pole height or geographical latitude can be set for each observation site. Thanks to fine movements along the right ascension and declination axes, objects can be precisely located, followed and kept within the visual field. A counterweight precisely balances the telescope.
The EQ-3 mount provides a solid base for most smaller and medium-sized scopes and is very well suited to spacewalks through the night sky. The tripod is extendible and a shelf provides space for eyepieces and other accessories.

Solid beginners scope

Review by 0rfanidis on 31.07.2021 13:11:45

( 3 / 5 )

For some reason when i got the scope it had the manual of a different one. Putting that aside i was able to see the major planets fairly well, but unexpectedly after 7months of use, the mounting broke down and the gears where often slipping even though the clutches were tightened as hard as possible. The star finder has very severe colour abberation and focusing issues and the included barlow lens is borderline unsuable, because its optics are made of acrylic. Even though i was able to get acceptable imaging from the 25mm eyepiece paired with a 5x barlow i bought. I wasnt able to even approach the same clarity when using the 10mm eyepiece even though the zoom was the same. The OTA on it's own is solid but the mounting and accessories are of questionable quality.
