Orion SpaceProbe™ 130ST EQ (307 x 130mm) Telescope

Information:	Product details
Manufacturer:	Orion - See Site

The SpaceProbe 130ST EQ is a rich-field Newtonian reflector with a tube only 24" long compared to the 33" tube length of the standard 130 EQ. The focal length of the ST's 130mm (5.1") primary mirror is 650mm (f/5), producing a wider field of view and brighter images for a given eyepiece focal length. The diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror is the same type used on much larger reflectors costing substantially more. On a short-focal-length design like this one, a parabolic mirror is a must for delivering sharp, detailed images. Minimize

Big bang for your buck!

by spaceprober, Jul 10, 2007

Pros: 130mm 5.1" parabolic mirror 6x30 magnifying finder scope still portable

Cons: harder setup than some telescopes had to wait because it was on backorder

The Bottom Line: Well worth the money to purchase. I had to wait for mine because it was on backorder, but that can be seen as good thing.

Review: After much independent research I decided that I would buy the Orion Space Probe 130ST. I went with this particular scope because I wanted the best scope for my money and I wanted it to last me some time if I got even more into it and wanted to try ...
