The Sky-Watcher Explorer-130/650 AZ-GO2 is the ultimate universal choice for beginner amateur astronomers seeking a modern and fully automated stargazing experience. The smart robotic altazimuth mount AZ-GO2 features an advanced Wi-Fi unit, allowing complete wireless control of the telescope from your smartphone or tablet via the free SynScan app (available for iOS and Android). The advanced GoTo system automatically points the telescope to your selected target from the digital menu, ensuring quick targeting without prior experience.

The optical system of the telescope is based on a Newtonian mirror with 130 mm diameter and a focal length of 650 mm, offering 30% greater light-gathering capacity compared to classic models of 114 mm. With an ideal, fast focal ratio of f/5, this instrument is perfect for wide-field observations. It allows you to locate and study extensive open star clusters, bright nebulae, as well as a variety of stunning deep sky objects with exceptional clarity.

The small and compact length of the optical tube ensures top structural stability and minimizes vibrations, which are quickly dampened during aiming. The AZ-GO2 mount features built-in electric motor that accurately follows the apparent rotation of the celestial sphere, keeping the observed target steadily centered in your eyepiece. The single arm design keeps the device extremely lightweight and compact, while allowing the tube to rotate freely even towards the zenith without any obstruction.

The sturdy foldable tripod is made of stainless steel and comes with a practical accessory tray that locks the tripod legs to eliminate wobbling. The telescope attaches to the base via a standard dovetail Vixen type, providing universal compatibility with a wide range of other optical tubes on the market. For maximum outdoor flexibility, the folding support system operates either with simple AA batteries or with an external power supply (12V/1A). For proper care, it is recommended to use dust covers after each use.
