SkyWatcher SynScan AZ GOTO Telescopes

The name is a bit of a mouthful but these telescopes are designed to be easy to set up and simple to use, even for an absolute beginner. They have a built-in computer controller that will find thousands of objects for you then track them so you can observe them at your leisure and show them to family and friends.

You do not need to know anything about astronomy, but the telescope will help you learn quickly. You will soon be taking a closer look at lots of different objects in the night sky. If you've not studied the Moon through a telescope before you will be amazed by the detail you can see. Saturn's rings always draw a 'wow' when first observed. Watching Jupiter's Moons move brings our Solar System to life and you can see Venus change shape and size as it makes its way around the Sun.

All the telescopes will show you galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. In general, the bigger and more expensive the telescope, the more detail you will see. So choose a model that fits your budget and appeals to you, then enjoy the delights of the night sky.

And that long name? SkyWatcher is the brand, SynScan is the name of the computer controller, AZ describes the simple mounting arrangement, and GOTO means you just push a button to make the telescope 'GO TO' your chosen target.

SkyHawk-1145P SynScan AZ GOTO Telescope Ref: OV-208

SKY WATCHER

The SkyHawk 1145P is a 4.5-inch Newtonian reflector with a parabolic primary mirror and a short, 500mm focal length. This makes it compact for easy handling and provides bright, high-quality images with no colour aberration.

It is a very cost-effective way of getting a bigger aperture which makes deep-sky objects appear brighter, and its built-in computer control will ensure you find all the best objectts with ease.

Price: £269.00 (Including VAT at 20%)

Explorer 130P SynScan AZ GOTO Telescope Ref: OV-209

SKY WATCHER

The Explorer 130P offers a larger aperture than the SkyHawk 1145P and captures 30% more light to give brighter images. If your budget will cover it and you don't mind a slightly larger telescope then the extra aperture is worth having.
