This compact Dobson embodies the perfect balance between <em>portability<\/em>, <em>performances<\/em> and <em>mechanical elegance<\/em>ideal for ambitious beginners and enthusiasts in search of a celestial adventure companion.<\/p>\n<h3>A design inspired by the greatest astronomers<\/h3>\n<p>The 130P's tube is decorated with a design celebrating iconic figures from the history of astronomy: <strong>Galileo, Messier, Kepler and Newton<\/strong>. Inside, it's a 130 mm borosilicate parabolic mirror coated with the exclusive <strong>RAQ\u2122 (Radiant\u2122 Aluminum Quartz)<\/strong> which captures light efficiently. It collects more than <strong>300 % light<\/strong> than the human eye, revealing galaxies, nebulae, clusters and planets with astonishing clarity.<\/p>\n<h3>Fast optics and astonishing performance<\/h3>\n<p>With a focal length of <strong>650 mm<\/strong> (f\/5 focal ratio), this telescope is particularly bright, ideal for deep-sky observation. Lunar details are striking, Saturn's rings sharp, and Jupiter's bands perfectly visible. Focusing is via a <strong>1.25\" helical focuser<\/strong> fluid and precise, suitable for most standard eyepieces.<\/p>\n<h3>Designed for adventurers in the sky<\/h3>\n<p>The structure <strong>retractable<\/strong> of the tube retains its optical alignment (collimation) even after folding, making the 130P incredibly easy to transport. Its lightweight yet stable azimuth base rests on non-slip rubber pads that limit vibration, even when placed on a camping table. Teflon\u2122 bearings ensure smooth, precise rotation. A locking knob lets you set the altitude for comfortable viewing.<\/p>\n<h3>Summary of technical specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Features<\/th>\n<th>Detail<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optical type<\/td>\n<td>Newton reflector on tabletop Dobson mount<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Opening<\/td>\n<td>130 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focal length<\/td>\n<td>650 mm (f\/5)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Primary mirror<\/td>\n<td>Parabolic dish in borosilicate glass with RAQ\u2122 coating<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focuser<\/td>\n<td>Helical 1.25\u2033<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tube design<\/td>\n<td>Collapsible (retractable)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Frame<\/td>\n<td>Azimuthal with anti-skid pads and Teflon\u2122 bearings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Altitude lock<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight &amp; transport<\/td>\n<td>Lightweight and compact, perfect for camping<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Recommended applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Planetary and lunar observation<\/strong> excellent clarity and detail<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep sky<\/strong> ideal for discovering nebulae and galaxies<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nomadic observation<\/strong> perfect for taking with you wherever you go<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Visit <strong>Skywatcher Heritage-130P<\/strong> brings together everything a hobby telescope should be: powerful, easy to use, historic and inspiring.
