Description

Our largest aperture Ares reflector telescope is the niftiest Newtonian reflector on an equatorial mount we’ve seen in a long time. Ares 130mm ST EQ Reflector Telescope is a quality telescope with a fast parabolic mirror for more serious beginning or intermediate stargazers who want additional performance, particularly for targeting deep-sky objects. Just what’s so nifty about Zeus 130mm ST Equatorial Reflector Telescope? The answer is best described as “short and sweet.

The included 1.25″ 25mm Plossl eyepiece provides a 26-power view when used with Ares 130mm ST reflector telescope. Using this eyepiece’s moderately low magnification is a great way to begin exploring interesting objects in the sparkling night sky. Offering a wide 52° apparent field of view, the 25mm Plossl eyepiece yields extremely sharp images with impressively high contrast. You’ll be amazed at the crisp, clear views of sights like the cratered surface of the Moon! And when pointed at larger deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula, the 5.1″ aperture combined with the low power view really pulls in the faint light, revealing structure in the nebula.

Ares telescope comes on a sturdy and precise equatorial mount, dual setting circles and slow-motion hand controls. After a simple polar-alignment procedure, the EQ mount allows you to easily track celestial objects as they appear to migrate across the night sky, so you can observe them in detail. The adjustable-height tubular steel tripod is strong yet lightweight and includes an accessory tray so you can keep eyepieces, flashlights, and other accessories close by while using the reflector telescope.
