Portable Orion SpaceProbe 130ST Telescope for Adult Astronomy Beginners

The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST EQ Reflector Telescope is the most impressive Newtonian reflector we've come across in a while, thanks to its large aperture and equatorial mount. This telescope is perfect for serious beginner or intermediate stargazers who want to enhance their observation experience, especially when viewing deep-sky objects. With a 130mm primary mirror and a focal length of 650mm (f/5), this "Short Tube" version of the SpaceProbe 130 reflector provides a wider field of view and brighter images with any eyepiece.

The telescope features a diffraction-limited parabolic mirror, similar to those found in much pricier models. This type of mirror ensures that incoming light is focused to a precise point, resulting in clear and detailed images. The included 1.25" 25mm and 10mm Plossl eyepieces offer magnifications of 26x and 65x, allowing you to start exploring the night sky and then switch to a closer view.

To enhance your stargazing experience, we have included the DeepMap 600, the MoonMap 260, and a smartphone adapter for capturing images of celestial objects. The telescope is mounted on a sturdy equatorial mount with slow-motion control knobs for smooth tracking of celestial objects. The adjustable-height tripod is lightweight yet strong, with an accessory tray for convenient storage of observing gear.

Weighing just 28 lbs. once assembled, the SpaceProbe 130ST EQ is easy to transport to your favorite stargazing spot, whether it's your backyard or a more remote location free from light pollution. Whether you're a beginner seeking a high-quality first telescope or an experienced stargazer in need of a portable addition to your collection, the Orion SpaceProbe 130ST EQ Reflector Telescope will not disappoint.

This telescope's 5.1" aperture gathers plenty of light for excellent views of planets, the Moon, bright galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters. Its compact design and fast focal ratio of f/5 make it versatile and enjoyable for the whole family. The sturdy equatorial mount and adjustable tripod allow for manual slow-motion tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky. In addition to the eyepieces and smartphone adapter, the telescope comes with the DeepMap 600, MoonMap 260, and a collimation cap to ensure optimal performance.
