Without doubt, the SpaceProbe 130 Newtonian strikes a classy pose, from its glossy black aluminum tube right down to its 6×30 finder scope. It’s a telescope that’s sure to attract serious beginners. But a great telescope is more than how it looks – it’s how it looks at the stars, and here the SpaceProbe 130 provides great viewing performance. This scope’s 130mm (5.1″) primary mirror gathers enough light for deep-sky observing while its 900mm focal length (f/6.9) provides the resolving power needed to reveal subtle planetary features. With the two fully coated Explorer II eyepieces provided (25mm and 10mm) you can cruise the Orion Nebula and the ringed visage of Saturn.
