Description
Explore deep-sky galaxies and nebulae with automated computerized precision using the Skywatcher N 130/650 Explorer BD AZ-S GoTo Telescope portable parabolic reflector system. Designed with an f/5.0 focal ratio, this 130mm (5.12 in) aperture telescope features a 650mm focal length, delivering 0.89 arcseconds Dawes resolving power and reaching magnitude 13.3 for rich-field backyard visual astronomy.
The Skywatcher N 130/650 Explorer BD AZ-S GoTo Telescope features a parabolic primary mirror crafted from low-expansion borosilicate optical glass with 94% reflective aluminum and silicon dioxide (SiO2) coatings. Its 615mm solid metal tube incorporates a small 26% secondary obstruction and a 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser. Mounted on an AutoTracking/SynScan computerized alt-azimuth single-arm fork GoTo mount on an aluminum tripod, the 3.66 kg OTA ensures automated celestial tracking.
