If you are looking for a lot of light for your money, then the N-130 is what you need. The 5 inch aperture of this classical reflector offers you 30% more light than the 114mm reflectors that are usually in this price range. The lightweight mount is easily transportable and the optics provide an image that is free of colour abberations. This combination is not only very good for observing the planets, you can even see some objects outside our own solar system. Enjoy the colours of bright stars such as the double star system Albireo in the constellation Cygnus or watch the famous double-double Epsilon Lyrae in the constellation Lyra. The compact Messier N-130 is easy to use and provides fast and good performance.
This 6 inch telescope excells with high rigidity and tack-sharp optics. The 150mm aperture enables you to observe bright nebulas in the depth of space. Find the remnants of a gigantic stellar explosion in the year 1054 in the constellation Taurus or scan the glowing bands of the Great Orion Nebula. Detect the famous Whirlpool Galaxy in the Big Dipper or find the Dumpbell-Nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. The high rigidity of the mount provides relaxed observations and supports first steps into the subject of astrophotography.
Excellent for entering into the hobby of astronomy: this 3.5 inch aperature delivers 200 times more light than the naked eye! Observe craters, valleys and rims on the moon from nearly 400.00 km away just as you would looking out of the window of a spaceship! The R-90 does not only provide highly detailed views of the moon: Gaze at the division of the rings of saturn millions of kilometers away or explore the Great red Spot of Jupiter, a giant tornado in Jupiter's atmosphere. Watch the seasons on Mars and find the sickle of Venus. This telescope gives you images that are many times brighter than the instrument Galileo Galilei was using for his famous explorations almost 400 years ago.
Ambitious beginners and advanced observers alike will see the brightest objects outside our solar system with this 4 inch telescope. Watch details in the Great Orion Nebula from the astonishing distance of 1500 lightyears (14.200.000.000.000 km! The rock-solid mount provides relaxed views even at high magnifications; rigidity and usability are setting new standards in this price range. Due to the sophisticated mount you can even start taking pictures of the moon with this telescope; scanning the lunar terminator is simply a pleasure.
Due to the short focal length this telescope provides large and bright fields of view. Don't forget to observe the Andromeda Galaxy with this 5 inch telescope! The glow of this object that you can observe from the immense distance of 2 million lightyears is as spectacular as it is to watch large nebulae with the R-127S. Because of the large aperture it is even possible to use nebular filters. These filters can enhance the appearance of emission nebulae to an astonishing contrast level. The short tube and the rigid mount also amke this combination ideal for short easy viewing sessions, especially if the telescope has to be moved for observing.
For the price-sensitive planetary observer this 5 inch telescope is a dream machine. View tiny dots and structures in the cloud bands of Jupiter, small rims and craters on the surface of the moon and details on Mars, including the ice-covered polar regions of our neighbouring planet. Watch Jupiter's moons dance around the planet and detect the greenish glow of Uranus far beyond Saturns orbit. The combination of large aperture and long focal length provides tack-sharp high-contrast pictures that will impress you every time anew.
The combination of the large 6 inch aperature and the short focal length predestine the R-152S for the observation of large celestial objects. Experience the famous globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules: Thousands of pinpoint stars stand before a black sky like so many diamonds spilled onto black velvet. Equipped with nebular filters you can watch the "Gulf of Mexico" in the North America Nebula and all the other celestial objects that Charles Messier listed in 1781. The compact size of the R-152S combines outstanding transportability, high light gathering power and low weight for a telescope of this aperture.
