Description

The primary mirror is made of pyrex for greater inertia to temperature differences, has a parabolic surface, which eliminates the spherical aberration error that spherical mirrors suffer from. The secondary mirror is supported by a cross arrangement of metal sheets, which are only 0.5mm thick, to minimize the diffraction phenomenon and light loss. Additionally, the model features a 2″ focuser and a 1.25″ adapter, making it possible to use eyepieces of both calibers.

The Dobsonian telescopes from SkyWatcher are equipped with the effective tension control handle, which is a patent of SkyWatcher.

    Unparalleled telescope for dark skies. The journey with this telescope is amazing. I have had it for 3 years and I have seen everything: the solar system, the Orion Nebula, the fantastic galaxy of Andromeda. It is a dream. I highly recommend it, but you need good lenses. I have the Hypperion 5mmhe and the 31mm Barlow Televue 3x. Let's have great observations and clear skies.

    This review is about the lens diameter: 130 mm

    Although it is considered an "entry-level" telescope, its mirror comes from the skywatcher explorer 130, so here we are not talking about a toy telescope but about a serious telescope with a parabolic mirror that will provide unparalleled image quality!
    The included eyepieces are acceptable and you will not need to purchase others.
    With strict criteria, the 25mm eyepiece has some aberrations and astigmatism around the edges of the field but nothing serious, it will do its job just fine.
    However, the seemingly humble 10mm eyepiece that comes with it is an excellent lens (and don't listen to the rumors), with sharpness across the entire field and ZERO aberrations! The reason they "bury" it is because it is dark and has a small eye relief. However, they forget that we are dealing with a wide-angle lens here, so the darkness and the small viewing distance are given. So, before you rush to replace it, give it some time, you will be amazed by the result.
    Just add a quality barlow lens (doubler), like the classic one from Celestron, and you are good to go!

    This review is about the lens diameter: 130 mm

    An excellent telescope, great detail on Saturn, Jupiter, and even Mars. In darker areas, of course, you can chase nebulae (a bit blurry and faint for this mirror diameter but impressive) and galaxies. The Moon, of course, will provide impressive images.

    Recommended 10000% for a beginner's first telescope as it is easy to transport! It's better to have a small telescope that you will use rather than a large one that will collect dust in the closet.

    It can accept many modifications and there are many discussions in various Greek and foreign forums!

    A laser collimator is recommended for quick alignments before each use.

    Personally, I combined it with a Baader Zoom Mark IV eyepiece and a 3x Barlow, and it's like having many, many eyepieces!

    May you have clear skies!
