Sky-Watcher 130/650 AZ-Go2 Explorer Newtonian Telescope (Wi-Fi)

The Sky-Watcher 130/650 AZ-Go2 Explorer Newtonian is a fully automatic telescope designed for beginners and anyone who wants to jump straight into stargazing. Thanks to the "Bright Object" alignment mode, setting up the mount takes only a few minutes, while the computerized SynScan system serves as the ultimate upgrade by automatically pointing to and tracking over 42,000 objects in the night sky. This high-tech system ensures you spend less time hunting for a faint nebula or a distant planet and more time enjoying the view, proving that astronomy has never been so easy.

Equipped with superb parabolic optics, the Sky-Watcher 130/650 provides excellent all-around performance for observing the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. The AZ-Go2 Mount is fully Wi-Fi controllable via iOS and Android devices, allowing you to operate the telescope wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet for smooth tracking and alignment. While it is compatible with a SynScan hand controller (sold separately), the integrated Wi-Fi gives you modern, cable-free control, making it a powerful and convenient tool for exploring the cosmos.

Product Features in Detail

Precision Parabolic Primary Mirror

This telescope features a high-quality parabolic mirror, which is essential for "fast" telescopes. Unlike cheaper spherical mirrors, the parabolic shape ensures all incoming light reaches a single focal point, resulting in razor-sharp images even at high magnifications.

Advanced Go-To Technology

The SynScan system does the hard work for you. By housing a massive database of over 42,000 celestial objects, the mount can automatically locate anything from the craters of the Moon to distant, faint galaxies with the push of a button.

Seamless Wi-Fi Integration

The built-in Wi-Fi module creates its own network, allowing you to connect your mobile device directly. The SynScan app offers an intuitive interface where you can simply tap an object on a star map to slewing the telescope to that position.

Enhanced Light Gathering

With a 130mm aperture, this model is a significant step up from entry-level reflectors. It captures enough light to resolve individual stars in globular clusters and provides much brighter views of nebulae and galaxies compared to smaller 70mm or 114mm tubes.

Versatile Wide-Field Views

The f/5 focal ratio offers a beautiful wide field of view. This makes it a perfect instrument for observing large objects like the Pleiades or the Orion Nebula, while still having the power to view Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons in high detail.

Portable and User-Friendly Build

The AZ-Go2 mount is designed to be lightweight and easy to transport. Combined with the "Bright Object" alignment, it is the perfect "grab-and-go" computerized setup for backyard sessions or trips to dark-sky locations.
