Description

The DOBSONIAN TRUSS 130mm Heritage Flextube SKDOBP130 is a Dobsonian type telescope that combines excellent build quality and portability, ideal for amateur astronomers who wish to explore the sky with ease and precision.

Features

  • Diameter: 130mm – Provides a large light-gathering capacity for clear and bright images of celestial bodies, making it ideal for observing planets, nebulae, and galaxies.
  • Telescope Type: Dobsonian Truss – The innovative truss design reduces weight and allows for easy transport and assembly, making it extremely versatile for travel or observation from different locations.
  • Flextube Design: Designed with a flexible tube that allows for easy storage and transport without sacrificing the quality of the optical system.
  • Clarity and Contrast: Thanks to the excellent quality of the optical elements, the telescope provides impressive clarity and contrast for observing even the most distant celestial body.
  • Easy Assembly: The design of the telescope makes it very easy to assemble and disassemble, allowing the user to prepare it for observation in minimal time.

Advantages

  • Portability: With the innovative Truss system and the ability to reduce the size of the tube, the telescope is ideal for travel or outdoor observations.

  • Detailed Images: The 130mm diameter, combined with the excellent quality of the optics, allows for the observation of details that other telescopes with smaller diameters cannot render.

Focal Length

It is the distance that light rays need to travel to reach the focal point, that is, the sensor of the lens.

The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view for the photograph, and therefore, the more of what is in front of us the lens can capture.

    Although it is considered an "entry-level" telescope, its mirror comes from the skywatcher explorer 130, so here we are not talking about a toy telescope but about a serious telescope with a parabolic mirror that will provide unparalleled image quality!
    The included eyepieces are acceptable and you will not need to purchase others.
    With strict criteria, the 25mm eyepiece has some aberrations and astigmatism around the edges of the field but nothing serious, it will do its job just fine.
    However, the seemingly humble 10mm eyepiece that comes with it is an excellent lens (and don't listen to the rumors), with sharpness across the entire field and ZERO aberrations! The reason they "bury" it is because it is dark and has a small eye relief. However, they forget that we are dealing with a wide-angle lens here, so the darkness and the small viewing distance are given. So, before you rush to replace it, give it some time, you will be amazed by the result.
    Just add a quality barlow lens (doubler), like the classic one from Celestron, and you are good to go!

    An excellent telescope, great detail on Saturn, Jupiter, and even Mars. In darker areas, of course, you can chase nebulae (a bit blurry and faint for this mirror diameter but impressive) and galaxies. The Moon, of course, will provide impressive images.

    Recommended 10000% for a beginner's first telescope as it is easy to transport! It's better to have a small telescope that you will use rather than a large one that will collect dust in the closet.

    It can accept many modifications and there are many discussions in various Greek and foreign forums!

    A laser collimator is recommended for quick alignments before each use.

    Personally, I combined it with a Baader Zoom Mark IV eyepiece and a 3x Barlow, and it's like having many, many eyepieces!

    May you have clear skies!
