Description

Sky-Watcher 130/650 AZ5 Reflector Telescope

See the giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn and their moons, nebulae and clusters. The Sky-Watcher 130 SWAZ5 Reflector Telescope is a fantastic telescope for the beginning amateur astronomer. It has the benefits of gathering 193% more light than a 76mm telescope and 90% more than a 114mm reflector showing better the main details in nebulae and cluster. With maximum practical magnification of 260x , this Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon.

Premium Imaging Performance

Sky-Watcher guarantee diffraction limited optics for an outstanding quality. The aluminised primary mirror is aspheric (parabolic profile) offering an optical system free from spherical aberration. The secondary mirror is thin to allow fast cooling and it is held by extra thin spider supports for minimal diffraction spike effects on bright stars and increased contrast.

Here's an incredible shot from Slovinsky.art using the Star Adventurer!

Tomáš Slovinský says:

View to the vast mirror ❄🌲✨
As the winter starts in the Northern hemisphere, the known asterism Summer triangle is setting at the beginning of nights. Winter constellations are rising and shining the whole night. But just after dusk, at the beginning of the astronomical night, bright light from the west is shining along the sky. It’s nicely visible by the naked eye and maybe looks like if someone lit the particles in the sky with a strong reflector. In fact, it’s not far away from true, but on an extremely huge scale. What causes the ghost light? In the ecliptic band in the inner Solar System, there are a lot of particles, dust, and rocks. Due to its tiny size, together, it creates a vast reflecting surface. Sun permanently lit this huge mirror and we can observe it as a light cone up in the sky. And as You can see, I literally enjoyed the view to the largest mirror in Solar System.

Equipment: Canon 6D mod, Sigma Art 28mm, Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer, Optolong L-Pro
EXIF: 30″, f/2.8, ISO 6.400 ...

Have you shot star-trails before?

Here's an image from our ambassador Shadow & Shade

This is a great way to see the rotation of the earth and how using tracking mounts like the Star Adventurer counteracts the movement seen in this image.

Larryn says:

TE MAUNGA O TARANAKI TRAILS.

The Pouakai Tarns of Mt Taranaki as seen on the clearest and calmest of any night you could possibly get here. 3 hours of stunning star trails over arguably one of New Zealand's most recognised locations.

This is my favourite place in the whole world and under the calmest and clearest conditions I have seen in all my 30 or so years of coming here.

THIS is the star trail image I have wanted and waited for from here ever since I began my astrophotography journey. I have been coming back several times each year for many years in the hopes of having such conditions and finally on Boxing Day 2019 they happened.
For those who have been here, you will know to get an all night with no wind is virtually impossible...this area is so exposed to the winds that blow up through the valley below. But on this occasion it was as if it was fated and the universe finally relented and let me have my time.

What made this night even more special was the fact that this usually crowded and instagram thrashed place, was empty and I was the only person up here this entire night... another thing I will attribute to fate.

For me, this is my favourite and best star trail to date and maybe never topped as being from such a place of significance. ...
