This telescope offers exceptional light throughput and resolution, ideal for observing deep sky objects like nebulae and galaxies. The Porta II mount ensures smooth, accurate tracking with its sturdy construction and adjustable height. The included eyepieces and finderscope enhance the viewing experience, while the flexible slow-motion handles reduce vibrations for sharper images. Its compact, lightweight design allows for easy transport and setup, making it perfect for both celestial and terrestrial viewing.

Features

The R130SF from Vixen is a 5.0" Newtonian reflector telescope with a focal length of 650mm. Delivering excellent light throughput and resolution via its f/5.0 aperture, the R130SF provides clear views of deep sky objects, nebula, clusters and galaxies.

Included Accessories

This fine optical instrument comes configured with mounting rings, a dovetail plate, and a 6x30 finder with a bracket and shoe. Two 1.25" eyepieces are also included - 1 PL 6mm, and a PL 20mm.

Porta II Mount Details

The mounting platform is the Porta II mount - a solid altazimuth mount with a 20 lb capacity and sturdy adjustable legs. Its versatile and rugged construction provides smooth and accurate tracking of celestial and terrestrial objects. Vixen's geared drive system has no locks or clutches, and the flexible slow motion handles minimize vibrations for sharp clear viewing. The tripod is easily adjusted from 35.4-51.2" and the standard mounting bolt ensures the ability to move the mount to a taller or heavier tripod if necessary.
