Skywatcher STARQUEST DX130P: powerful Newton telescope with deluxe equatorial mount

Visit Skywatcher STARQUEST DX130P is a high-performance Newton telescope designed for demanding novice astronomers and intermediate users looking for a powerful, versatile and upgradeable instrument. Part of the STARQUEST DX series, it combines high-quality parabolic optics with a stable and precise Deluxe equatorial mount, offering a complete and immersive observing experience.

With its generous 130 mm diameter, this telescope represents an excellent compromise between power, transportability and ease of use.

130 mm parabolic optics: brightness and precision

The STARQUEST DX130P is equipped with a 130 mm parabolic primary mirror, parabolic mirrors offer excellent image quality. Unlike spherical mirrors, the parabolic shape reduces optical aberrations and delivers sharper images, especially at high magnification.

With a focal length of 650 mm (f/5), This telescope offers a relatively wide field of view while retaining good magnification capability. It is ideal for observing :

  • the Moon in fine, contrasting detail
  • bright planets such as Jupiter and Saturn
  • nebulae and galaxies
  • rich star clusters

The treatment RAQ™ (Radiant Aluminum Quartz) provides up to 94 % reflectivity, for excellent brightness and durability. With 30 % more light than a 114 mm model, This telescope reveals more details of faint deep-sky objects.

The mirror is mounted in a fully collimatable cell, allowing precise adjustment to maintain optimum performance over time.

STARQUEST DX Deluxe equatorial mount: stability and precise tracking

The frame STARQUEST DX Deluxe is designed to offer an excellent compromise between lightness and stability. Once aligned with the celestial pole, it is easy to track objects thanks to its smooth slow-motion controls on the right ascension (RA) and declination (DEC) axes.

It features :

  • 360° precision gears
  • clutches on both axes
  • graduated circles for locating objects
  • worm and helical gear transmission

Its load capacity of 5 kg provides excellent stability, reinforced by a adjustable stainless steel tripod. An optional motor can be added for automatic tracking on the RA axis, further enhancing viewing comfort.

Robust, portable design

The optical tube is equipped with’fixing rings and a 45 mm dovetail for easy mounting and balancing. Despite its performance, the unit remains relatively light and portable, ideal for outdoor observations.

The adjustable tripod (680 mm to 1160 mm) lets you adjust the height to suit your needs, providing a comfortable viewing position.

Complete accessories for immediate start

The STARQUEST DX130P comes with all the accessories you need to get started:

  • 10 mm and 20 mm eyepieces (x32.5 and x65 magnifications)
  • red dot finder for easy object location
  • universal smartphone adapter (54 to 90 mm)

The smartphone holder makes it easy to capture images of your observations, especially of the Moon and planets, so you can share your discoveries.

The Rack & Pinion eyepiece holder ensures smooth, precise focusing, enhancing user comfort.

Performance and versatility

With a theoretical maximum magnification of x260, This telescope offers excellent observation potential. Its combination of large aperture and moderate focal length makes it a particularly versatile instrument, equally suited to deep sky and planetary observation.

The thin branches of the secondary mirror support (0.5 mm) minimize diffraction, enhancing image contrast.

Whether you want to observe lunar craters, explore distant galaxies or get started in astrophotography with a smartphone, this model will fully meet your expectations.
