The Story
The Konusmotor-130 is an ideal intermediate telescope featuring a 5" aperture and 1000mm focal length for bright, clear views of the Moon, planets, and brighter deep-sky objects. Its German equatorial mount includes a Right Ascension tracking motor that counteracts Earth's rotation for steady, vibration-free observation, while the motorized focuser ensures precise focusing. Complete with two eyepieces, red-dot finderscope, moon filter, smartphone holder, and carrying cases, it offers a comprehensive observing platform ready for extended sessions.
