Sky-Watcher Heritage 130mm Dobsonian Table Top Telescope Sky-Watcher

The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130mm Dobsonian Table Top Telescope is a fantastic light weight, portable and collapsible telescope that’s ideal for beginners.

The large, 130mm lens makes your Sky-Watcher telescope fantastic at light gathering, and in turn allows you to view a whole range of celestial objects in the night sky.

A dobsonian mount makes your 130mm Heritage telescope from Sky-Watcher incredibly easy to move around and adjust to view night sky objects of interest. The easy handling of the mount provides a great way of getting started in amateur astronomy. It is intuitive and easy to use; the built-in handle allows movement of the telescope to the left and right while the adjustable clutch allows adjustment of the altitude axis. The telescope and mount come fully assembled, ready to use straight out of the box.

Your 130mm telescope has an incredibly compact design, despite the size of its lens, thanks to a collapsible design. Just extend the tube, point the telescope using the red dot finder scope, insert the eyepiece and enjoy the night sky! When you’re done, fold it away and carry the telescope with the helpfully located handle on the mount.

This particular model features a unique design on the outside of the optical tube which commemorates the International Year of Astronomy by decorating it with the names of great astronomers of the past.

If you’re looking for a beginner telescope from a well known and quality brand that has a unique design, then you’ve found it in the Heritage model from Sky-Watcher.
