  • Sky-Watcher Heritage 130 Tabletop Dobsonian

    The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130 is a tabletop Dobsonian with a 130mm (5.1") paraboloidal primary mirror and a 650mm focal length (f/5). Its collapsible truss tube needs no disassembly or collimation between uses. It comes with 25mm and 10mm SUPER 1.25-inch eyepieces and a red dot finder.

    International Year of Astronomy Edition

    Sky-Watcher first presented the Heritage P130 as its commemorative International Year of Astronomy telescope, in honor of those who have contributed to astronomy, and calls it a collectable special edition.

    It makes a perfect gift idea for little astronomers or anyone curious enough to look up and wonder, with great all-around astronomical viewing.

    130mm f/5 Paraboloidal Optics

    Sky-Watcher uses aluminized paraboloidal mirrors for sharp, detailed images, and lists the highest practical power at 260x and a faintest stellar magnitude of 13.3. The secondary mirror is 34.5mm.

    • Primary mirror: 130mm paraboloidal, 650mm focal length.
    • Focal ratio: f/5.
    • Secondary mirror: 34.5mm.

    Tabletop Dobsonian Base

    The single-arm alt-azimuth Dobsonian base is made for a table or other raised surface. Push the tube up, down, left or right to follow objects; there are no motors or electronics.

    The base measures 14" x 17".

    Collapsible Truss Tube: From 25" Down to 14.75"

    The collapsible truss tube gives the full 650mm focal length and needs no disassembly or collimation between uses. The tube is 25" extended and 14.75" retracted, 168mm in outer diameter.

    The tube weighs 6.5 lb with accessories, and the total weight is under 14 lb.

    Included Eyepieces: 26x and 65x

    Two 1.25-inch SUPER eyepieces fit the 1.25-inch focuser, and a red dot finder helps aim the telescope. Magnification is 650mm divided by the eyepiece focal length:

    • 25mm SUPER eyepiece: 26x.
    • 10mm SUPER eyepiece: 65x.

    The 1.25-inch focuser takes other 1.25-inch eyepieces and accessories. The highest practical power is 260x.

    Solar Safety

    Never point the telescope or its finder at the Sun without a proper solar filter securely covering the front of the telescope: looking at the Sun through it will cause permanent eye damage.

  • What magnification do the included eyepieces give?

    26x with the 25mm SUPER eyepiece and 65x with the 10mm. The highest practical power is 260x.

    Does the collapsible tube need collimating after each use?

    No. The truss-tube design needs no disassembly and no collimation between uses.

    Where do I set it up?

    It is a tabletop Dobsonian: set the 14" x 17" base on a table or other raised, level surface.

    Can I use other 1.25" eyepieces or a Barlow lens with the Heritage 130?

    Yes. The 1.25-inch focuser takes other 1.25-inch eyepieces and accessories.

    Is the Sky-Watcher Heritage 130 a good telescope for kids or beginners?

    It makes a perfect gift for little astronomers or anyone curious enough to look up. It points by hand on its Dobsonian base, with no setup beyond extending the tube.

    How portable is it?

    The tube collapses to 14.75", and the total weight is under 14 lb.

    What focal length and ratio does it have?

    650mm at f/5, with a 130mm paraboloidal primary mirror.

    What kind of finder scope does the Heritage 130 include?

    A red dot finder.

    How large is the secondary mirror on the Heritage 130?

    The secondary mirror has a diameter of 34.5 mm.

    What is the history of the Sky-Watcher Heritage P130 model?

    Sky-Watcher presented the Heritage P130 as its commemorative International Year of Astronomy telescope, in honor of those who have contributed to astronomy.

    Will I need any other accessories to start observing with the Heritage 130?

    The box has the collapsible tube, the tabletop Dobsonian base, a red dot finder and 25mm and 10mm SUPER 1.25-inch eyepieces. You provide a table or other raised, level surface.
