This is an AWESOME 130mm diameter Astro Telescope, with top quality lenses, capable of seeing deep into space, AND unbelievable daytime performance !

The real difference between Telescopes is not so much power, but brightness, and the larger the front end, the more light can be collected, and so the more CLARITY and DETAIL can be seen.

This telescope has a massive 130mm front end diameter, which means that pretty much whatever you point it at, you are going to see, so much so, that with this Scope, the night sky view will be absolutely stuffed from edge to edge with stars that you've never seen before with the naked eye.

Saturn - put a ring a round it!

Jupiter - not just the planet - you'll see the moons!

But this telescope REALLY starts to perform when the going gets tough....DEEP space galaxies and nebulae which the two fully coated lenses show in superb resolution - and many more lens types are available!

Be careful though- as soon as you increase power, you can also increase a number of other problems such as:

• Brightness With this telescope you can still see plenty at high power as there is loads of light pouring in the top

• Shake High power = High shake and movement, so this comes with a heavy-duty (but oddly lightweight - and fantastic looking) STAINLESS STEEL full sized tripod, together with a rock solid Telescope Equatorial Mount.

• Field - Higher power = smaller bit of the sky = harder to find what you want to see! This comes with the superb STARPOINTER  FinderScope - just switch it on and point the scope - makes locating a target dead easy.

• Equatorial Mount Worth it's weight in gold! This device allows you to really easily set up and move the telescope to point at any part of the sky you wish, it also has standard markings to tie in with Star charts and maps, so you can correctly point at an object even when you can't see it with the naked eye! Secondly, because the earth spins, everything visible in the sky is constantly on the move. Normally we hardly notice, but the higher the magnification, the faster an Astronomical object will move out of view and at high power, in just a couple of minutes! This Equatorial mount includes flexi Tracking Handles that allow you to fine control the telescope whilst viewing, and literally TRACK the target as it moves across the sky!

• Believe it or not, we have only touched on the surface, this is a VERY complete outfit with even more accessories then we have mentioned above. It will give many years of enjoyment and comes with a manufacturers 10-year warranty

• PLUS! This Celestron telescope comes with the brilliant The Sky 10,000 object Astronomy Software (Worth over £35). This essentially puts the Northern and Southern night sky onto your computer. You can see the positions of constellations, galaxies nebula and LOADS more. Move into space to see the whole night sky, or zoom in to one small section and click on an object to find out about it. There's a massive amount to explore - I could go on for days - for instance information on stars, planets, constellations, comets etc. Photographs of stars, galaxies and planets. Best of all there is an excellent solar system map that displays in real time (it gets the date from your computer). Using this you can get the position, rising and setting times of the Moon, the planets and any comets that happen to be in the solar system at the time. You can print out the sky charts and there is even a night vision mode so you can load the software onto your lap top or notebook computer and actually use it in conjunction with the telescope!
