I bought this for casual observing, grab and go, and the ability to pack for camping trips. It won't show quite as much detail as my first dob, but it will probably get used far more frequently. I think I'll eventually get an 8 inch too, to round out my observing. In practice, there isn't much difference between an 8 and 10 inch for the average amateur astronomer. The 10 inch does look cooler at a star party though.CHUCK R : My son wanted itRichard L : Ranked 2 on telescope reviewAlan R : 130mm diameter with good focal length, very light weight & portable.ZACARY S : I have a deep fascination in spaceMonty S : Reviews online

Overall great for what I wanted

I used to have a 10? dob, so my opinion may be clouded by the jaw dropping views that scope gave. I bought the 130 because I wanted a grab and go with a small storage footprint that still provided good views. It packs down relatively small and the mirrors seem to be of good quality. I?m able to pick out the Messier objects, and the moon looks great even without a filter The objects don?t quite glow like they did in my other dob, but I can still make them out with averted vision etc... I don?t like the focuser. It works, but the screw action is awkward and slower. Another gripe is the red dot finder seems to not stay in alignment when bumped (I may have stripped the screw holding it on the mount), cheap plastic. I like the truss design and overall function. It?s perfect for what I wanted. For most people considering this scope, I?d steer them to the 6 inch Orion Skyquest (or better, the 8inch) being more user friendly with a better f ratio and no need to set on a table

My gift was a huge hit! My family loved it. I'm looking forward to messing with it.

Because we celebrate the explorers of the cosmos, Sky-Watcher proudly introduces the Heritage P130, a special edition Dobsonian telescope commemorating the International Year of Astronomy. This stylish and innovative piece of equipment is not just a collectible, but a high-quality, user-friendly tool for anyone with a curiosity about the universe above us.

The Heritage P130 is a testament to extreme portability, with a collapsible tube that shrinks to a mere 14.5 inches in length. Despite its compact size, it weighs less than 14lbs, making it an ideal companion for stargazers on the move.

This telescope features a unique collapsible truss-tube design, eliminating the need for disassembly and collimation between uses. It's a testament to Sky-Watcher's commitment to creating user-friendly, high-quality astronomy equipment.

At the heart of the Heritage P130 are its aluminized paraboloidal mirrors. These mirrors are designed to provide sharp, detailed images of celestial bodies, making every stargazing session a journey of discovery.

With a large aperture of 130mm and a focal length of 650mm, this telescope boasts an impressive light-gathering power. This feature ensures outstanding resolution and bright images, allowing you to view faint objects in the night sky with clarity.

The Heritage P130 offers an all-around astronomical viewing performance with a diameter of 130mm, a focal length of 650mm, and an F/ratio of F/5. This combination of features makes it a reliable choice for both amateur astronomers and seasoned stargazers.

In summary, the Sky-Watcher Heritage P130 is more than just a telescope; it's a gateway to the universe, designed for those who look up and wonder.
