Optical tube
This telescope is a good starting point for new amateur astronomers. With 30% more light gathering capacity than a 114mm telescope, even more fascinating celestial objects can be observed by amateur astronomer newbies. The 130mm aperture and 650 mm focal length high-performance optics allow you to observe many nebulae and other DSOs. With an f5 aperture ratio, the telescope is also ideal for wide field observing. Breathtakingly beautiful Open clusters are well worth seeking out too. Its short length means that the telescope is very stable, even on smaller mounts, with vibrations damping down very quickly. The external design can also be considered a real gem, boasting an elegant design of the highest calibre.
Mount
The CQ40 mount is designed to be used in the Equatorial mode, which allows the user to take full advantage of the extra possibilities offered by this mode:
- The CQ40's setting circles can be used to help finding objects invisible to the naked eye.
- It is easy to follow a celestial object once it is visible in the eyepiece. Turning only the RA axis flexible control cable will allow following.
- RA axis can be upgraded with a motor kit for tracking.
The payload capacity of the Sky-Watcher CQ40 mount is 4 kg and it weighs only 1 kg. The Sky-Watcher CQ40 mount features a latitude adjustment range of 0° to 72° and an efficient worm-gear system. An adjustable aluminum tripod with accessory tray is included.
