Description

This means that once you’ve aligned the telescope on an object using the ‘horizontal’ adjustment (right ascension – RA) and the ‘vertical’ adjustment (declination – Dec.), it’s only necessary to make adjustments in the RA plane to follow the object as it traverses the sky. Sky-Watcher Explorer-130PS telescope: 5 best features Counterbalance bar and weight mm eyepieces, x2 Barlow Lens, Red-Dot Finder, EQ2 Mount and Tripod, R.A. Motor Drive (D.C.) with Multi-Speed Handset And if you want to take pictures of what you’re seeing with your camera phone, there’s a built-in eyepiece shutter release cable so all you need to do is plug in any standard USB cable (not included) and press the button on top of it. Your phone will be able to capture images through the eyepiece without having to remove it from its holder! Popular telescope models include: Sky Watcher Capricorn, Skyhawk, Skymax, Explorer, Evostar and Heritage ranges. Going out and about and capturing images of the night sky from different places is one of the best things you can do with your telescope. For the best travel portable telescope, look no further than the Celestron 52304 Regal M2 65ED Spotting Scope. This scope is not just for nighttime viewing; you can use it in the daytime for amazing imagery too. Perfect for bird watching or spotting wildlife from afar, the 52304 provides crystal clear images and great focus. The Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass is ideal for capturing accurate colour reproduction and minimising chromatic aberration. It’s great for those that wish to dabble in astronomy as well as using the scope to view things closer to home. What I like about it:

Then the optical quality lives up to the billing, at least judging it based on the context of its affordable price. What telescope is similar to the Sky-Watcher Explorer 130m and a good alternative to consider? The Skywatcher Evostar-90 AZ3 is a great refractor telescope, suitable for a wide range of abilities and budgets. This scope comes with two different lenses to observe sky objects at different depths. It has a long focal length, and can gather 65% more light than a standard 70mm model, which will give you clear images. It’s ideal for detailed views of the moon, as well as other objects in the solar system. An Alt-Azimuth mount is included, which is high quality and offers stability and strength for good viewing. What I like about it: A telescope’s aperture is the size or diameter of the main or objective lens. Aperture is the most important feature to consider when buying a telescope. A larger aperture means a brighter image, better details and the ability to see deeper into the sky. 3. How to make a telescope more powerful? How to increase the magnification of a telescope? But at this magnitude, you’ll see Jupiter and its moons, Saturn, the ring fog in the Lyra, the Andromeda Galaxy, split double stars, and much more. What magnification can you have on the Sky-Watcher Explorer 130 motorized telescope? In the Explorer 130 telescope, the secondary obstruction is 46mm. As a result, you may observe diffraction rings when observing night sky targets.

You first need to find the general direction where it currently is. Use a sky map or star chart to find that location. You can also Google search ‘location of Saturn’ and Google will show you its current coordinates. The manual’s language and descriptions could have been worded better, but it suffices to help you through the setup process. You will also see some more values such as Astigmatism and Coma. Again, these are measured by the interferometer when we take measurements of the optical surface after adjustment. These are values which ideally would be at 0 but as our test optics are all curved lenses, there will always be astigmatism and coma present. The lower the number, the less of these aberations you will effectively see but with most refractors, you can buy field flatteners which will compensate for the coma anyway. The astigmatisms value is explaining the error between the symmetrical curvature of the lens. Basically, no lens will be perfectly symmetrical, the lower the astigmatism, the more symmetrical the lens surface is. But the dual-mode design of the Avant mount means that even in altazimuth mode, the telescope is offset from the centre of the mount. Gives fantastic clear imagery of the moon, Saturn’s rings and Jupiter’s moons, as well as nebulae and star clusters

The 25mm eyepiece is more suitable for viewing deep sky targets, while the 10mm is better for making lunar and planetary observations. Accessory tray: There’s an accessory tray where you can keep items or accessories you intend to use while stargazing. Most importantly of all, remember to have fun. After all, what is the point of a hobby if you don’t enjoy it? You can have the best telescope in the world, but it’s usless if you don’t have a good time using it!All lenses and mirrors display images that are inverted upside down, left to right or rotated. This includes lenses in cameras, our eyes and telescopes. So don’t worry if you are getting an upside down image; your telescope is working fine. If you want to flip the image the right way, use a star diagonal or an erecting prism. 2. What is telescope aperture? Having a 900mm focal length it is good for planetary but I've also used it to view Messier Objects at a comparatively low power. A 25mm eyepiece will give you a 3.6mm exit pupil, enabling the use of a UHC filter. This Revelation (Guan Sheng Optical) 32mm Plossl is the same as the Celestron and Orion 32mm (GSO) Plossls but cheaper. It will give you around a 28x magnification. I disagree that any eyepieces you buy for the Explorer won't necessarily be good for other scopes. The 130M is quite adaptable and f/l's like 32mm are quite standard. I recommend a 32mm Plossl for observing a lot of DSO's or even just sweeping star fields. Again, the 32mm Plossl will enable a nebula filter to be used with some efficacy.

We enjoyed some excellent views of M27, the Dumbbell Nebula, and M15 in Pegasus very early in the evening, then the Pleiades and the Hyades star clusters and M42 later during the night. In terms of double stars, the 5" performs admirably, though partly location dependent and also dependent on local seeing. Good stars to look for at the moment I think are Mizar & alcor (don't forget Mizar b!) as well as Albireo and Algieba (which is setting presently, so catch it while you can!).

Product Specification

Silicon 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.
