Skywatcher N 130/650 Explorer-130PS AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope

Description

Control wide-field deep-sky exploration and mobile EAA wirelessly from your smartphone with the Skywatcher N 130/650 Explorer-130PS AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope computerized 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 automated stargazing.

The Skywatcher N 130/650 Explorer-130PS AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope features a precision parabolic primary mirror made from low-expansion borosilicate optical glass with 94% reflective aluminum and silicon dioxide (SiO2) coatings. Its 615mm solid metal tube incorporates an integrated 44mm Vixen dovetail bar and a 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser. Supported by an AZ-GTi dual-axis motorized GoTo mount with Freedom-Find dual encoders and a pier extension on an aluminum tripod, the 3.66 kg OTA ensures unhindered zenith tracking.

Key Features of Skywatcher N 130/650 Explorer-130PS AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi Telescope

Engineered for high-precision wireless GoTo visual astronomy and wide-field EAA, this 130mm Sky-Watcher Explorer-130PS reflector pairs parabolic optics with a motorized GoTo mount. Its Freedom-Find dual encoders allow manual panning without resetting computerized alignment coordinates, delivering sharp views across deep-sky targets.

Parabolic Borosilicate Optics & Wide-Field EAA Versatility

The 130mm parabolic primary mirror gathers abundant light across a fast f/5.0 optical path, eliminating spherical aberration on open star clusters and nebulae. Supported by an integrated Vixen dovetail bar, this motorized Sky-Watcher reflector supports visual magnifications from 18.6x up to 260x.

AZ-GTi Dual-Encoder Mount & Pier Extension Column

Automated celestial navigation is seamless with modern Wi-Fi connectivity. The AZ-GTi mount creates its own wireless network for SynScan app control, while its patented Freedom-Find dual encoders allow manual repositioning without lost alignment. Equipped with a pier extension tube, the optical tube pans smoothly near the zenith without striking tripod legs.

• Integrated Wi-Fi module for cordless GoTo tracking via the SynScan mobile application
• Freedom-Find auxiliary dual encoders allowing manual re-positioning without lost alignment
• Pier extension tube providing extra vertical clearance for unhindered zenith viewing
