The StarQuest series are lightweight, portable grab-and-go telescopes that combine high-quality Sky-Watcher optics with a newly designed, precision-crafted equatorial mount. This mount features a high-quality, precision 122-tooth gear on both axes and excellent stability with a maximum load capacity of 3 kg. With the equatorial mount, once properly aligned with the Polaris, you can easily track objects moving across the night sky using the precision, slow-motion control knobs.

Optical system

This is a reflecting telescope (Newtonian system). Due to its high light intensity, the telescope is especially recommended for observing nebulous objects. This model will also work well when observing planets and the Moon. The main advantage of this telescope is a large 130 mm parabolic mirror, which is the most important element of the telescope. A mirror of this size collects about 345 times more light than the human eye at night, providing the possibility of observing objects up to 13th magnitude (with naked eye visibility up to 6th magnitude).

The size of the mirror is also related to the optical resolution, which in this telescope allows the separation of stars that are more than 1.1" apart. The telescope is equipped with a Red Dot Finder. We recommend purchasing an eyepiece with a focal length of about 5-6 mm for the telescope, which provides high magnification useful for observing bright objects in our Solar System.

Astronomical observations

1. The Solar System
• objects on the lunar surface larger than 2.2 km;
• sun spots and their structure;
• all planets of the solar system;
• phases of Mercury and Venus
• the shield of Mars, during opposition on Mars the outlines of the continents and polar caps are visible
• Jupiter's equatorial belts and the Galilean moons, in favorable conditions the Great Red Spot and the shadows of the moons are visible
• rings of Saturn and the largest moon Titan, other fainter moons may appear in the field of view, in good conditions the Cassini division is visible
• Uranus and Neptune visible as tiny disks
• the movement of asteroids against the background of stars
• observations of bright comets

2. Stars
• about 1.9 million stars in the entire sky, with a brightness of about 13th magnitude
• double and multiple stars separated by an angular distance of more than 1.1".
• the colors of many bright stars

3. Nebula objects
• all Messier catalog objects
• dozens, even hundreds of globular clusters, individual stars begin to become visible
• hundreds of open clusters with visible differences in structure
• several dozen nebulae, with the first details, details of bright nebulae, e.g. M42
• dozens of galaxies with visible shapes and angular positions of the disks
• visible structure and structure of bright planetary nebulae
