Compact table-top Dobson with retractable tube
The Sky-Watcher Dobson telescope N 130/650 Heritage FlexTube DOB is a compact, powerful and extremely easy-to-use entry-level Dobson. With a mirror aperture of 130 mm and a focal length of 650 mm (f/5) this telescope offers an impressive combination of luminosity, sharpness and portability. Thanks to the unique FlexTube design easily slide the tube in and out, allowing it to fit effortlessly into a closet, suitcase or backpack.

Bright images of Moon, planets and nebulae

With 130 mm aperture, the Heritage 130/650 captures more than enough light to make the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects show surprisingly well. You see:

• The craters and shadows on the Moon with high contrast.
• The rings of Saturn and the cloud bands of Jupiter.
• The nebular structures of the Orion Nebula and the starry splendor of the Pleiades.

The relatively short focal length gives a wide field of view, making it ideal for observing vast star fields and large objects in the sky.

Simple and intuitive operation

The tabletop Dobson mount makes the telescope especially easy to use. You move it manually, smoothly and intuitively - without alignment, electronics or batteries. The red-dot finder helps you quickly find the right direction, then the telescope moves smoothly to keep the object in focus.

The Included 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces (1.25”) offer both wide overview images and magnifications for more detail. The Crayford focuser ensures accurate and stable focusing.

Portable and ready to use immediately

With its compact size and light weight, the Heritage 130/650 is ideal as a grab-and-go telescope. You set it up on a table or stable surface in seconds, point it at the sky, and you can start observing immediately. Perfect for garden observations, vacations or quick sessions under dark sky conditions.

What we recommend

The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130/650 is ideal for:

• Beginners Who want to start stargazing without technical knowledge.
• Visual perception of Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects.
• Travelers and families Who seek a compact, low-maintenance telescope.
• Advanced as a second, portable “grab-and-go” telescope.

What you can see with it:

• Moon: sharp craters, mountains and shadow lines.
• Jupiter: cloud bands and four largest moons.
• Saturn: the rings with striking brightness differences.
• Deep-sky: Orion Nebula, Andromeda galaxy, Pleiades and open star clusters.

Don't expect photographic detail on deep-sky objects; this telescope is designed primarily for visual observation, not astrophotography.
