Description

The Telescope SKYWATCHER EXPLORER 130/900 EQ2 is an excellent telescope for amateur astronomers who want to explore the sky with clarity and detail.

Features

  • Optical System Diameter: 130mm The telescope's diameter is 130mm, which allows it to collect more light and provide clearer and brighter images. This makes it ideal for observing the Sun, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and other celestial bodies.
  • Focal Length: 900mm The focal length of 900mm combined with the 130mm lens allows for excellent magnification and image clarity, especially for observing planets and other celestial bodies.
  • EQ2 Mount (Analog Mount with Precision Mechanism): The telescope comes with an EQ2 mount, which is a powerful, stable system that offers precise adjustments and tracking of celestial objects. The EQ2 provides the ability to track stars and planets with stability and ease, allowing smooth movements at various angles.
  • Optical Elements: The telescope comes with lenses that offer clear and sharp images, meeting the observation needs of beginners and amateur astronomers. You can change lenses to achieve different levels of magnification, depending on your needs.
  • Multifunctionality: While the SKYWATCHER EXPLORER 130/900 EQ2 is ideal for observing the night sky, it can also be used for observing the solar system, stars, and other celestial bodies with excellent performance.

    I have had it for about a year now. For terrestrial observation, it is not a good choice as it shows things upside down. When I bought it, it was around 280€. In sky observation, you can easily observe the Moon with many details depending on the lens you use (two lenses are included, 25mm and 10mm, as well as a ×2 Barlow lens). You can easily see the rings of Saturn and a few of its satellites, the four major satellites of Jupiter, and you can distinguish the colors of its atmosphere. Apart from that, depending on the season, you can see the phases of Venus and identify the pole of Mars, which is barely visible (if it is close to Earth). You can also see the Andromeda galaxy as scattered dust, the Orion Nebula, and some star clusters like the Pleiades. It is quite heavy and not easy to move. It requires caution in use... I made a mistake and kept turning the screw that adjusts the height, almost causing damage. If you use the included lenses, you won't have any problems with focusing and stability. Overall, I believe it is a good telescope for a beginner sky observer.

    For a first telescope, it is perfect. You can see the moon very clearly. From Jupiter, I can distinguish the red spot and its satellites, from Saturn its rings and how they are separated, Mars and Venus simply by their color since they do not have distinct characteristics like Jupiter and Saturn. The Andromeda galaxy appears as scattered dust and it is awesome, the Pleiades are enchanting. Overall, I am satisfied since I can see all the above, which are the most important for an amateur. The only downside is its base and the adjustment of the axes is very poor, at first I thought I was doing something wrong but after searching on the internet, I found that the base is simply bad. However, this may be somewhat positive since it forces you to find what you are looking for among the constellations.
