The \u003cstrong\u003ecollapsible design \u003c\/strong\u003emakes it fast to setup and easy to transport - just extend the tube, insert the eyepiece, and you're good to go!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescope comes fully assembled and ready to use out of the box. No disassembly or recollimation is required between uses. The included 1.25\" \u003cstrong\u003ehelical focuser \u003c\/strong\u003eis smooth and accurate, allowing quick and precise focusing with standard 1.25\" eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base features SkyWatcher's \u003cstrong\u003eTension Control System\u003c\/strong\u003e which makes it easy to adjust the amount of resistance when positioning the tube, adding just enough friction and tension to allow the tube to move easily when nudged or stay solidly in position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDobsonian telescopes are named after John Dobson, an amateur astronomer who designed a very simple but effective telescope system, where the key factor is a \u003cstrong\u003elarge aperture for little money\u003c\/strong\u003e. His idea was to mount a Newtonian telescope on an easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount that does not need time-consuming electronic alignment. As a result, Dobsonians have the quickest setup time of just about any telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.06%; height: 206px;\" class=\"specificationTable\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 29.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 29.6px;\"\u003eOptical design\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 29.6px;\"\u003eNewtonian with parabolic primary mirror\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAperture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e130 mm (5\")\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eFocal length\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e650 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eFocal ratio\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003ef\/5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eResolving power\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e0.89 arc-seconds\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eStellar limiting magnitude\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e13.27\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eHighest practical magnification\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e325 x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eLight gathering power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e344 x (compared to unaided eye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eFocuser\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e1.25\" helical focuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; width: 43.9594%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 53.4764%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eSWDOB130\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eItems included\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed dot finder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece 1.25\" Super 25mm (26x)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece 1.25\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e Super 10mm (65x)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Testar Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48225342882017,"sku":"SWDOB130","price":349.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0071\/4935\/5059\/files\/SWDOB130-1.jpg?v=1776652580","url":"https:\/\/www.testar.com.au\/products\/skywatcher-heritage-130mm-5-tabletop-dobsonian","provider":"Testar Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
