The newer version of the SpaceProbe 130ST replaces the old 6×30 magnifying finder with a red dot sight, which projects a red dot onto a window through which you view the sky. The SpaceProbe 130ST includes 1.25” 25mm (26x) and 10mm Plossl (65x) eyepieces these are much better than the cheap Kellners/Modified Achromats supplied with cheaper telescopes. To put it on another mount, you’d need to buy a dovetail and attach it to the rings.Īre the Accessories of Acceptable Quality? The 130ST attaches to its mount with a pair of tube rings but no Vixen dovetail system. Collimating the scope’s primary mirror requires a screwdriver, which can be rather frustrating in the field. For whatever reason, Orion has covered the back of the primary mirror cell with a useless metal plate, obscuring the collimation screws and hindering cooldown it must be removed with a Phillips head screwdriver.
The primary mirror is made of plate glass, and both the primary and secondary mirrors are, of course, collimatable. It has a 1.25” rack-and-pinion focuser, which is made mostly out of plastic but works pretty well.Īt f/5, this scope delivers nice wide-field views, albeit with a little coma – nothing to worry about, however. The SpaceProbe 130ST is a 130mm f/5 Newtonian, identical to the Zhumell Z130, Sky-Watcher Heritage 130p, and Celestron 130SLT/ Astro-Fi 130.
