The Sky-Watcher Explorer-130 Telescope is a great starter telescope that can easily be upgraded.
The Sky-Watcher Explorer-130 Telescope is a Newtonian Reflector telescope. The 130mm aperture makes this telescope an all-round performer, giving high resolution images of the Moon, planets and other solar system targets as well as penetrating deep-sky views of galaxies and nebulae.
The EQ2 mount is solidly engineered and tried and tested for over ten years now. It carries the weight of the telescope and is generously specified so that it will work well with the additional weight of accessories such as cameras etc.
