The Orion SpaceProbe 130ST is a 130mm f/5 Newtonian reflector featuring a 650mm focal length that yields a wider field of view and brighter images for a given eyepiece. The telescope features a diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror—the same type used on much larger reflectors costing substantially more—which is essential for this short-focal-length design to deliver sharp, detailed images. With its compact 24-inch optical tube design and EQ-2 equatorial mount with manual slow-motion tracking, the SpaceProbe 130ST is ideal for lunar and planetary observation, as well as viewing bright galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters. The telescope is easily portable and quick to set up, making it a great choice for astronomers who want to transport it to darker observing locations.
