The StarTracker 130/650 EQ 3-1 RA Motor Drive Reflector Telescope is a great choice for beginners and hobbyists who want brighter views of the night sky with the convenience of automatic tracking. With its 130 mm Newtonian mirror and 650 mm focal length, the telescope gathers plenty of light to reveal detailed lunar landscapes, the rings of Saturn, Jupiter’s moons and many bright nebulae and star clusters.
 
Mounted on a stable EQ3-1 German equatorial mount, this telescope allows precise movement and smooth tracking of celestial objects. The fast f/5 optical design also provides wide field views, making it ideal for scanning the Milky Way and exploring deep sky targets.
 
What truly makes this model special is the RA motor drive. Once attached to the mount, the motor automatically tracks the movement of the stars across the sky. Instead of constantly adjusting the telescope by hand, the motor keeps your target centred in the eyepiece, allowing you to relax and focus on observing the details. It is especially helpful when observing planets or sharing views with others.
 
The motor includes a hand controller with 2× and 8× speed adjustments, allowing quick corrections and smooth control while observing. It also features a hemisphere switch, so the tracking system works anywhere in the world. Installation takes only a few minutes, and once running, the telescope follows the sky’s motion smoothly and effortlessly.
 
With its strong aperture, motorised tracking and beginner friendly design, the StarTracker 130/650 EQ 3-1 RA Motor Drive Telescope offers an enjoyable and immersive stargazing experience.
