^"I have used a great number of telescopes; some are good, some mediocre and some bad. To me the Sky-Watcher range of instruments are very good indeed, and suited to amateurs of all kinds – and they are not priced out of the market! Excellent value.
Use them and enjoy them.^"Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS (1923 to 2012)

Description

"“….With the mount carefully aligned, we went off in search of deep-sky objects selected from the Synscan app’s extensive database. The Go-To system easily located a range of objects, placing each one within the field of view of the 25mm eyepiece….We couldn’t resist observing the prominent planets Jupiter and Saturn, easily discerning Jupiter’s bands and Saturn’s rings, as well as several of their attendant pinprick moons…. The Sky-Watcher Explorer-130P AZ-Go2 ticks a lot of boxes, especially for beginners, as it is lightweight and easy to set up, with the bonus of Go-To functionality. The free Synscan App is very intuitive and might appear in particular to younger users who are used to doing everything on their smartphones.”."
BBC Sky At Night Magazine

The highly portable Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-130P (AZ-Go2), has been designed to be controlled wirelessly with your Smartphone or Tablet, using the free SynScan App for iOS or Android. The AZ-Go2 mounting, with it's built-in WiFi module, creates it’s very own Wi-Fi network, so the mount can be used anywhere, without any reliance on other WiFi or mobile networks. After entering your coordinates into the App and following a simple alignment procedure, you are ready to explore the universe using the App’s intuitive touchscreen menu. The AZ-Go2 and SynScan App provides full computerised GO-TO control, allowing the telescope to be automatically slewed to any one of the objects in the App’s extensive database of 10,000+ celestial objects.
