FeaturesThis complete package includes everything you need, telescope, mount, tripod, finder, barlow and two eyepieces. A excellent choice for beginners wanting a larger aperture optic offering brighter more detailed views than smaller models.BBC Sky at Night magazine group test winner"Our first test on the Sky-Watcher Explorer-130 was to check the collimation of the mirrors, which we found were well aligned. This scope has one of the largest mirrors in its price range, which is a great asset because it means it can gather more light...Optically, the quality of the field of view while studying the star Altair was very good using the supplied 25mm eyepiece. The star remained sharp across 80 per cent of the view, with only slight distortion close to the field edges….Taking everything into account, this telescope made observing the night sky enjoyable and relatively hassle free….great views coupled with ease of use."BBC Sky At Night MagazineSkyWatcher deluxe mirror coatingsSilicon dioxide produces a much more durable coat than silicon monoxide but requires specialized equipment to apply it and is therefore more expensive. Protection is needed, because in most reflectors, the mirror is open to the elements and deterioration of the reflective layer reduces the resolution of the telescope. ALL Sky-Watcher reflectors are Multi-Coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance.

First time buyer Fantastic product, easy to use and most importantly it has increased my passion for astronomy, my children also. Can’t thank Harrison telescopes enough for the unbelievably quick delivery time, faultless service. Will be sure to order a motor drive in the near future.
