SkyWatcher Explorer 130 Telescope
29 September 2021  | 

I don't know enough about astronomy to say if this is a good, bad or indifferent telescope but I have always wanted to see Saturn's rings and it has allowed me to see these. Additionally, it has good visibility of some of Jupiter's moons and lunar imaging is very good. It is a bit shaky when focusing but settles down quickly.
For the price I am happy with the performance, it has satisfied my curiosity and I'm looking forward to seeking out other celestial objects.

Perfect telescop for amateur

I'm disappointed about the barlow lens, the view gives bad details but it is apparently "normal" as I had seen it on many forums. Anyway my mother is happy. Thank you for fast shipment and good price . We need just a motor now, the universe moves so fast lol
