SkyWatcher 130/650 Newton on AZ4 mount

The 130/650 Newtonian telescope has large, 13 cm diameter main mirror, which allows to observe a wide range of objects including faint deepsky objects. Its F/5 main mirror makes the telescope a very versatile one. Te two aspheric eyepieces in the package gives 28x and 65x magnification with wide 62 degree field. Magnification range can be push up to to 230x with optional eyepieces. It means that both deep sky objects and small details on the lunar surface can be observed with this scope.

The AZ4 mount provides the flexibility that can be expected from an azimuthal mount, ideal for both astronomical and daytime use. Easy to carry, no counterweights are needed and is very robust.  The telescope mounted can be balanced easily. The flexible handles can removed and reattached on the other side, meaning that the mount can be used easily for both refracting and reflecting telescopes. The arm is tilted in 45 degrees, which makes it possible to observe objects around zenith even with instruments up to 180mm in diameter.
