The Saxon Velocity 1309EQ2 Reflector Telescope is a substantial step up for intermediate astronomers, offering enhanced brightness and resolution for serious observing. With a generous 130mm aperture and a 900mm focal length (f/6.9), this optical tube gathers 30% more light than smaller 114mm scopes, revealing fainter details in nebulae and star clusters while maintaining sharpness on lunar craters and planetary rings. The aluminised mirror system ensures excellent contrast, making the Saxon 1309EQ2 a powerful tool for exploring the depths of the solar system and beyond.
The telescope is supported by a robust German equatorial EQ2 mount, which offers greater stability and precision than entry-level mounts. This allows for smooth manual tracking of celestial objects using slow-motion controls, an essential feature for higher magnification viewing. The kit is designed for versatility, including Super eyepieces for different magnification levels and a 1.5x erecting prism that transforms the Velocity 1309 into a capable terrestrial viewer for land-based observation. Supported by an aluminium tripod with an accessory tray, this Saxon 130/900 EQ2 Reflector Telescope provides a complete and reliable platform for your astronomical journey.
