This telescope is a good starting point for new amateur astronomers. With 30% more light gathering capacity than a 114mm telescope, even more, fascinating celestial objects can be observed by amateur astronomer newbies.
The 130mm aperture and 650 mm focal length high-performance optics allow you to observe many nebulae and other DSOs. With an f5 aperture ratio, the telescope is also ideal for wide field observing. Breathtakingly beautiful Open clusters are well worth seeking out too.
Its short length means that the telescope is very stable, even on smaller mounts, with vibrations damping down very quickly. The external design can also be considered a real gem, boasting an elegant design of the highest calibre.
