Description
The largest aperture reflector telescope from SpaceProbe, this is one of the niftiest Newtonian reflectors on an equatorial mount we’ve seen in a long time.
The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST EQ Reflector Telescope is ideal for the more serious beginning or intermediate stargazer who wants additional performance, particularly for targeting deep-sky objects. This Short Tube version is more compact than the standard model. The optical tube measures 24 inches and the 130mm aperture primary is a diffraction-limited parabolic mirror, the same type used on much larger reflector telescopes. A parabolic mirror is a must for focusing incoming light to a point and delivering sharp, detailed images.
The SpaceProbe 130ST EQ reflector telescope also includes a collimation cap, center-marked primary mirror for easy optical alignment and a sturdy and precise EQ-2 equatorial mount with dual setting circles and slow-motion hand controls.
- Short 24 inch long optical tube design for easy portability and fast f/5 focal ratio for pleasing wide-field performance
- Includes mount and adjustable tripod for manual slow-motion tracking
- Complete assembled telescope weighs just 27 lbs. for convenient transport
- Includes two 1.25 inch Sirius Plossl eyepieces (25mm and 10mm), 6×30 finder scope, 1.25inch rack and pinion focuser, tripod accessory tray, collimation cap, Starry Night astronomy software, and more!
