Immerse yourself in the wonders of the cosmos with the National Geographic 130-650 Newtonian Telescope EQ3. This remarkable astronomical instrument combines powerful optics, a sturdy equatorial mount, and user-friendly features, offering a captivating stargazing experience for enthusiasts of all levels.

Key Specifications:

Aperture: The telescope features an impressive 130mm (5.1 inches) aperture, allowing it to collect an abundance of light for clear and detailed views of celestial objects.
Focal Length: With a substantial focal length of 650mm, this telescope provides high magnification, making it perfect for observing planets, star clusters, and distant galaxies.
Newtonian Reflector Design: The telescope utilizes a Newtonian reflector optical system, which employs a parabolic mirror to gather and focus light, resulting in sharp and contrast-rich images.
Equatorial Mount (EQ3): Equipped with a robust and precise EQ3 mount, the telescope offers smooth and accurate tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky.

Accessories: Included with the telescope are essential accessories to enhance your observing sessions. Two eyepieces - a 31.7mm for wider field views and a 10mm for higher magnification - cater to various observation preferences. A 3x Barlow lens is also provided, effectively doubling the magnification of any eyepiece used with it. The telescope boasts a red dot finder scope for quick and precise object location.

The National Geographic 130-650 Newtonian Telescope EQ3 is your portal to a captivating journey through the heavens. Its substantial 130mm aperture opens a window to distant celestial marvels, capturing a wealth of light to deliver breathtaking views of planets, star clusters, and ethereal nebulae.

Designed with both novices and experienced astronomers in mind, setting up the telescope is effortless, thanks to the user-friendly EQ3 mount. The equatorial mount aligns with Earth's axis, enabling you to effortlessly track celestial objects as they move across the night sky. This feature is particularly valuable for astrophotography, reducing star trailing and facilitating longer exposure times for stunning images of deep-sky objects.

The Newtonian reflector design of the telescope utilises a parabolic mirror, which effectively eliminates spherical aberrations, delivering high-contrast and razor-sharp images. Whether you're observing the majestic rings of Saturn or the intricate details on the lunar surface, this telescope offers unparalleled clarity and definition.

Beyond its celestial prowess, the National Geographic 130-650 Newtonian Telescope EQ3 is equally impressive for terrestrial observations. From admiring picturesque landscapes to observing wildlife, the telescope's versatility extends beyond the night sky.

Included with the telescope are two eyepieces that cater to various observing scenarios. The 31.7mm eyepiece provides a wide field of view, making it perfect for locating celestial objects and scanning the heavens. The 10mm eyepiece, on the other hand, offers higher magnification, ideal for detailed observations of planets and lunar features.

The telescope's 3x Barlow lens adds versatility to your stargazing experience by effectively doubling the magnification of any eyepiece used with it. This feature enables you to adjust your magnification levels for a diverse range of celestial events and viewing conditions.

For effortless object location, the telescope is equipped with a red dot finder scope. Simply align the red dot with your desired celestial target, and you're all set to explore it through the telescope's eyepiece.

The National Geographic 130-650 Newtonian Telescope EQ3 is a celestial gateway, unveiling the splendours of the cosmos. Its impressive specifications, sturdy EQ3 mount, and valuable accessories make it an exceptional choice for both beginners and experienced astronomers.
