Compact tabletop Dobsonian for grab-and-go astronomy

The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130 is a new tabletop Dobsonian telescope with a 130mm aperture and 650mm focal length. Its collapsible truss-tube design shrinks to 14.5 inches for storage and weighs under 14lbs. A built-in carry handle makes it simple to move from indoors to a dark-sky site in seconds.

Replaces bulky tube assemblies that need disassembly

The collapsible tube eliminates the need to take the optical tube apart or re-collimate mirrors between sessions. That jump is worth it when you want a 130mm light grasp without the setup time of a traditional solid-tube Dobsonian. The 1.25" helical focuser and included 25mm and 10mm Super eyepieces give immediate magnification choices.

Check your observing surface and accessory fit

Ensure you have a sturdy table, picnic bench or similar flat platform at a comfortable height for the tabletop base. Verify that any extra eyepieces or filters you plan to use accept the 1.25" barrel standard. The compact folded length of 14.5 inches also means confirming your storage shelf or carry bag can accommodate that dimension.

Questions about this item

What size tabletop surface is needed for the 14.5 inch collapsed tube?

The collapsible truss tube shrinks to 14.5 inches long and weighs under 14 lbs, so any stable table or flat surface that can hold that footprint and weight will work.

How do the 1.25 inch eyepieces attach to the helical focuser?

Insert the 25 mm or 10 mm Super eyepiece into the 1.25" helical focuser drawtube and tighten the thumbscrew; the most common mistake is leaving the thumbscrew loose, which lets the eyepiece tilt.

Will the aluminised paraboloidal mirrors need re-coating or collimation later?

The mirrors are factory-aligned and the truss-tube design locks collimation in place when extended, so no routine re-collimation or re-coating is required under normal use.
