Bresser 130/650 EQ Product description

  1. Newtonian Reflector Design: The Bresser 130/650 EQ is a Newtonian reflector telescope best suited for observing distant galaxies, nebulae, and stellar clusters, as well as the Moon and planets. Its 130 mm aperture ensures excellent light-gathering capabilities.

  2. Generous Aperture & Short Focal Length: With a 130 mm aperture and a short 650 mm focal length (f/5 focal ratio), this telescope provides a wide field of view, making it ideal for observing faint deep-sky objects and larger star fields. It gathers significant light for bright, clear images.

  3. Equatorial Mount for Tracking: Equipped with a robust equatorial (EQ) mount, the 130/650 EQ allows for easy and precise tracking of celestial objects as they move across the night sky. This is crucial for sustained observation and introductory astrophotography.

  4. Portable & User-Friendly: Designed for ease of use, this telescope combines a relatively compact optical tube with a stable, adjustable tripod. It's a fantastic entry-level instrument suitable for both beginners and hobbyists seeking a balance of performance and portability.

ABOUT THE BRESSER 130/650 EQ

The Bresser 130/650 EQ distinguishes itself within its series by offering a superb combination of a large 130 mm aperture and a relatively short 650 mm focal length in a parabolic Newtonian reflector design. This results in a fast f/5 focal ratio, making it excellent for wide-field observations of deep-sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Its significant light-gathering power allows for bright and detailed views of faint celestial targets, setting it apart from smaller aperture models. Constructed with a lightweight aluminum optical tube and mounted on a robust equatorial mount, this telescope is purpose-built for both casual stargazing and more dedicated astronomical pursuits, including introductory astrophotography. It provides an intuitive platform for tracking celestial motion, making it a versatile tool for exploring the cosmos.
