The Space Voyage 130mm F/5 EQ3 Reflector Telescope combines a wide-aperture Newtonian-style reflector with a solid and reliable manual German equatorial mount to give you a powerful, easy-to-use observation rig. It will help you to explore the lunar surface and planetary details, or reach out beyond our solar system to see bright deep-sky objects like clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. The telescope comes with fully coated glass optical components with high transmission coatings for enhanced image brightness and clarity.
With its large aperture and fast focal ratio, the Space Voyage 130mm f/5 Reflector Optical Tube Assembly is an ideal choice for making detailed observations and capturing excellent astro-images of the moon and planets, with the capability to resolve distant objects like star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. Its sturdy focuser accepts standard-sized 1.25? diameter eyepieces, opening up a wide array of magnification choices from the near-limitless available options on the market.
Optical Tube
- Large 130mm aperture is ideal for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky viewing
- Fast f/5 focal ratio requires shorter exposure times to capture the same images as slower scopes, while producing brighter and wider observational views
- 650mm focal length produces a moderate magnification potential and fast focal ratio
- Newtonian reflector design produces a shorter and lighter tube, versus a similar refractor, for easier handling
- Sturdy rack-and-pinion focuser can handle larger eyepieces and accessories without flexing
Mount
- Mounting ring assembly allows the user to rotate the optical tube and orientate the eyepiece to the most comfortable position for any user
- This German Equatorial mount (EQ3) offers RA and Dec slow-motion controls and setting circles.
- Adjustable aluminum tripod with a accessory tray in included.
