<\/figure>\nWhat do you see through the DX130P?<\/h2>\n
Sharp lunar craters, Jupiter's moons and belts, Saturn's rings and, under a dark sky, the famous deep-sky highlights. The parabolic mirror makes the difference compared to cheaper spherical mirror entry-level models: sharp stars far into the field of view.<\/p>\n
StarQuest: equatorial in lightweight form<\/h2>\n
The StarQuest mount is a stripped-down EQ: light enough to set outside in one go, with the slow-motion control to track objects at high magnification. Ideal for learning the equatorial principle without heavy equipment.<\/p>\n
This is how to get the most out of this telescope<\/h2>\n\n- Align roughly on the North Star:<\/strong> Roughly north and the correct pole height are enough to track comfortably.<\/li>\n
- Check collimation after transport<\/strong> (f\/5); see our guide to collimation<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Magnification:<\/strong> the 10 mm eyepiece yields 65x; a 6 mm planetary eyepiece<\/a> (108x) gets more out of planets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For whom yes and for whom no<\/h2>\n
Hello<\/strong> the beginner looking for a lightweight, complete equatorial set with parabolic optics.<\/p>\nNot<\/strong> If you want photo results without mounting, guiding, and post-processing, then the smart telescopes<\/a> the shorter route; ours Telescope Buying Guide for Beginners<\/a> explain the trade-off.<\/p>\nFeatured accessories<\/h2>\n
These accessories add the most after purchase:<\/p>\n
\n- Moon Filter 25%:<\/strong> for visual moon phases dims the Omegon Moon Filter 25% (1.25 inches)<\/a> the bright light. More explanation in our Moon filter guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- A 6mm planetary eyepiece:<\/strong> the Sky-Watcher 6mm Planetary UWA Eyepiece<\/a> gives 108x for visual evenings. If you want to go a step higher, there is also the 5 mm version (130x).<\/li>\n
- Smartphone adapter:<\/strong> clip your phone onto the eyepiece for your first moon photos. The Sky-Watcher SmartPhoto+ adapter<\/a> comes with a special 20 mm photo eyepiece.<\/li>\n
- Cheshire eyepiece<\/strong> the Sky-Watcher Cheshire Eyepiece<\/a> makes the critical f\/4 collimation accurate and repeatable.<\/li>\n
- Carrier bag<\/strong> The 130\/900 telescope fits this compact tube. Check out the carrier bags<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
