ADVANTAGES

• The Sky-Watcher 130/900 telescope is an excellent choice for beginners who want to invest in a telescope that is both luminous and affordable.
• The Newton design offers several advantages over other families of instruments, particularly cheaper manufacturing of mirrors and generally lower focal ratio.
• The EQ2 mount allows for fine positioning on the sky and the motorization in RA compensates for the apparent movement of stars on the sky.
