Excellent beginner and grab and go telescope Very glad I brought the SW 130PS, it was easy to assemble, simply to use and comfortable to use with the tripod in its lowest position, even though I'm quite tall. Easy to collimate though the allen key for collimation is not provided. Weighs 8kg so is portable enough to carry.Arrived within 3 days (29/10/2024) Charlie - York
Delighted with this piece of kit Purchased the Explorer 130PS AZ5 after looking at all the options.Delighted to say the scope arrive the very next day.Fortunately a couple of cloudless sky nights meant i could test it out and i wasnt disappointed. For the first time ever I saw Saturns rings. Very easy to assemble the scope (16/08/2020) Gerry Sweeney - Carfin, Scotland
