The Sky-Watcher 130mm f/5 Newtonian is a compact telescope designed for astrophotography. Its oversized secondary mirror provides a large illuminated field, making it ideal for astrophotography.

The optional Sky-Watcher f/5 coma corrector delivers excellent correction, producing a wide, flat field for astrophotography.

A solid 2" Crayford focuser with a 10:1 dual-speed reduction allows precise, backlash-free focusing—essential for imaging and detailed observation.

The secondary mirror is collimatable via three grub screws, with offset adjustment through a central spring-loaded screw. The primary mirror is collimated using three pairs of push-pull screws.

The aluminium tube is internally blackened to minimize reflections, absorb stray light, and enhance image contrast.
