Featuring large apertures and easy functionality, Sky-Watcher’s Heritage 130 Dobsonian takes a classic design and shrinks it for easy table-top use! This kit comes with everything you need to get started viewing the night sky including eyepieces and a red dot finder. Developed in the 1970s, the name ‘Dobsonian’ comes from the telescope’s inventor, John Dobson, a Vedantan monk and sidewalk astronomer who dedicated his life to astronomy outreach. Dobson was notorious for constructing large aperture reflecting telescopes capable of deep sky viewing, using low cost materials. These were often made with found materials, heavy cardboard tubes, recycled porthole glass and plywood mounts.
Dobson encouraged other astronomers to assemble their own telescopes and taught workshops on telescope making. Sky-Watcher carries on the legacy Dobson left behind with this Heritage Dobsonian telescope. Don’t let this simple design fool you! Dobsonian-style telescopes utilize their large aperture to give users bright, vivid detail. Using borosilicate mirrors coated with aluminum and quartz, both primary and secondary mirrors deliver 94% reflectivity. With a finely-crafted parabolic primary mirror and coatings this bright, you’ll be viewing just as John Dobson intended.
