Sky-Watcher LightChariot 130N-AZ: You’ll Love this Go-To Light-Bucket

Newtonian reflectors have long been respected by amateur astronomers for their optical quality and ability to gather a lot of light for very modest cost. Compared to other LightChariot models, the larger 130mm aperture of this telescope is particularly advantageous for viewing fainter objects in deep-space. Each primary mirror is fabricated to exacting standards of smoothness and optical correction by a skilled optician ensuring premium optical performance. Aluminum is vacuum deposited on each primary and diagonal mirror surface and then over coated with hard quartz for protection.

Planetary images are very pleasing to view through this instrument, although you may feel solar system imaging with the LightChariot 102AR (102mm lens) appears to pop more because of the higher contrast provided by the refractive lens. In deep-space, the 130mm aperture of the LightChariot 130N-AZ telescope really starts to show its strengths. Fainter globular clusters appearing as little more than fuzzy snowballs in smaller scopes begin to reveal individually discrete star points. A galaxy’s faint central glow should appear brighter. Emission nebulae appear more luminous and more voluminous. Newtonian reflectors while champions of the sky are not recommended for terrestrial applications due to their awkward terrestrial image orientation.

LightChariot’s SynScan computer system demystifies telescope use, making your astronomical experience fun and carefree right out of the box! SycScan boldly banishes arcane sky-alignment procedures, replaces esoteric object finding methodology, and obliterates the traditional learning-curve normally associated with navigating the heavens.

After a brief and simple Astro-Tri-Align initialization, the SynScan computer does all the work. Sky-Watcher’s alignment software doesn’t require tricky mechanical leveling of the telescope or dependence on finding precise north to work properly. Just find three bright stars, point the telescope to them, push the “Enter” button and you are on your way?it’s the easiest, most reliable way to start your adventures in astronomy (or alternatively choose 1-star, or 2-star alignment).
