Inconceivable! Actually, it’s not if you
purchase a Gsyker 130 EQ astronomical
130 EQ telescope. This 5.1 inch
aperture refl ector telescope gathers
an ample amount of light for great
views of the planets and moon, as
well as brighter galaxies, nebulas and
star clusters.
With a 24-inch optical tube and fast
f/5 focal ratio, not to mention allglass
optical components with high
transmission coatings, your photos
will have enhanced image brightness
and clarity.
This telescope is wireless, so there
is no need to even download an app.
You can pair it with your phone via
Bluetooth and it’s compatible with
iPhone or Android devices.
Comes with an eyepiece, a 3X
Barlow lens, a fi nderscope, an
adjustable tripod, a smartphone
adapter and a Bluetooth camera
remote. $399.99, Amazon.com.
