The Saxon Velocity 1309EQ2 Reflector Telescope with Motor Drive is designed to offer intermediate astronomers a significant advantage in both optical power and tracking convenience. With a generous 130mm aperture and a 900mm focal length (f/6.9), this system gathers 30% more light than standard 114mm models, resulting in superior resolution and brighter images of faint nebulae, star clusters, and planetary details. The aluminised mirror system ensures excellent contrast, making the Saxon 130/900 EQ2 Reflector Telescope a capable instrument for serious exploration of the solar system and beyond.

What sets this model apart is the inclusion of a single-axis motor drive attached to the sturdy German equatorial EQ2 mount. This motorised system compensates for the Earth's rotation, allowing the telescope to automatically track stars and planets as they move across the night sky, which is essential for long observation sessions and basic astrophotography. The kit is built for versatility, including a 1.5x erecting eyepiece that transforms the Velocity 1309 motorised telescope into a terrestrial viewer for land-based observation. Complete with Super eyepieces and an aluminium tripod, this package provides a stable and sophisticated platform for discovering the cosmos.
