SkyWatcher Explorer 130/900 EQ2 Telescope

The SkyWatcher 130/900 mm EQ-2 Telescope offers an impressing efficiency for a beginners telescope. Its 130 mm primary mirror collects enough light to reveal a wealth of celestial objects, allowing great views of the moon, Jupiter and Saturn as well as being a capable telescope for wide field deep space objects. Concerning planet observations, you can reach  magnifications up to 260x and the planet discs show up in impressing size.  The EQ2 parallactic mounting permits a fine adjustment in declination and right ascension axis and can be refitted with an electronic tracking motor drive (to compensate the earth rotation) which replaces exhausting manual tracking. The SkyWatcher 130/900 mm provides stability for beautiful and enjoyable hours with your telescope under the impressing sky.
