Brand New UK Stock, boxed with full Guarantee
The Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-130M is identical to the award winning EXPLORER-130M model but supplied with a handset operated motor drive in addition, to automatically track night sky objects. A fantastic choice for the serious beginner and also receives high marks from more seasoned astronomers. With an extremely useful 130mm of light gathering aperture, this telescope is a highly capable all-rounder for the observation of the Moon, bright planets, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters. Supplied with the EQ2 equatorial mount, which when polar aligned, will allow you to easily track objects as they move across the night sky via its slow motion control cables, or automatically with the supplied motor drive unit.
(Note: The above Winners Badge applies to the Explorer-130, product code 922. The Explorer-130M is identical to this model but with the addition of an R.A. Motor Drive unit to automatically track night sky objects)

SKY-WATCHER DELUXE MIRROR COATINGS
Most reflectors today usually have a coat of aluminium as the mirror surface and then an overcoat of silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide to protect it. Silicon dioxide produces a much more durable coat than silicon monoxide but requires specialized equipment to apply it and is therefore more expensive. Protection is needed, because in most reflectors, the mirror is open to the elements and deterioration of the reflective layer reduces the resolution of the telescope.ALL Sky-Watcher reflectors are Multi-Coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance.
