THE TELESCOPE:

The Heritage 130 Dobson offers a large opening and is therefore ideally for the observation of DeepSky objects. With the short focal length, it allows to survey even large visual fields. The moon and planets can be observed very well. Many devices in this class have only a cheap ball mirror, which gives a bad picture at higher magnifications. Skywatcher installed here parabolic mirrors, which provide a much sharper image of the object. The Dobson platform keeps the tube safe and wobbly and can also be used with other telescopes thanks to prism clamp. The easy handling makes it an ideal telescope for beginners. The recommended maximum magnification is approximately 250x.
