The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-130P is a fantastic option for the serious beginner and also receives high grades from the most experienced astronomers.

With an opening of 130 mm and a parabolic primary mirror, this telescope is a highly capable SUV for moon observation, bright planets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters. It is supplied with the EQ2 equatorial mount, which when aligned polarly, will allow you to easily trace the objects while moving through the night sky through its thin motion flexiblres.

The EXPLORER-130P models feature premium parabolic primary mirrors, which are normally found in larger and costly telescopes, to eliminate spherical aberrations, producing even sharper and more contrasting images that are full of details. A parabolic mirror or, more precisely, a "paraboloidal" mirror is carved to a form that concentrates all the incoming light rays to a perfect approach, on the axis.

In addition, they have ultra-slim side mirror supports of 0.5 mm, to reduce diffraction peaks and light loss.
