130 mm aperture gather enough light to show you hundreds of galaxies, star clusters and nebulae. The Ring Nebula in Lyra can be seen as smoke ring and M13, the famous Hercules star cluster, is already resolved in single stars.
A further advantage is the short focal length of this system. With the supplied 25 mm Plössl eyepiece, a true field of 2° can be seen. This is 4x the diameter of the full moon! So observing large objects is a delight.
The well-crafted Newtonian system also allows observing the moon and the planets with high contrast. No correction lenses degrade its optical performance.
In order to deliver this performance, the optics must be adjusted if necessary. With some beginner´s telescopes, this is not or only partially possible. At the Starscope1306, primary and secondary mirror are adjustable!

Optical quality, mechanical craftmanship and included equipment are above the normal standards.
MOTOR DRIVE HIGHLIGHT Use the simple method of employing a tracking motor with your EQ3 mount. This will save you having to constantly adjust the telescope by hand. Once attached, you will then be able to concentrate much better on your observing.
The motor relieves you of this irksome burden and will track your telescope in synchronisation with the movement of the stars from now on.
The object you are observing will remain permanently in the field of view when the motor is operating!- RA axis motor for automatic tracking
- powers the main axis of the telescope
- suitable for visual observing
- easy operation - manual tracking no longer necessary
- easy installation which takes only a few minutes
- hand box for 2X and 8X speeds
- switch for Northern and Southern hemispheres
- battery compartment, with cable, for six D batteries
Even more features
You also receive a handbox for controlling your telescope with the EQ-3 motor drive. Four large keys provide 8x and 2x tracking speeds and for temporarily stopping tracking. This means you can also follow objects at higher speeds and keep them positioned in the field of view.
There is also an ON/OFF switch and a switch for selecting which hemisphere you are on. This means that the RA tracking motor can be used anywhere in the whole world. The handbox is ergonomically designed so that it is easy and safe to use even when wearing gloves.EQ3-1 MOUNT HIGHLIGHT The EQ3-1 is a solid mount and a reasonable base for this telescope.
It offers advanced equipment like:- Latitude fine adjustment for precise polar alignment
- Mount separable from tripod
- Solid field tripod
- Manual tracking with flexible shafts
