Harpers Photographic

The Messier N-130 classical reflector offers 30% more light than the 114mm reflectors that are usually offered at this price point. The compact Messier N-130 is easy to use and the lightweight mount makes it easy to transport. The optics resolve sharp contrasty images free of colour aberrations, enjoy the colours of bright stars such as the double star system Albireo in the constellation of Cygnus or watch the famous double-double Epsilon Lyrae in the constellation of Lyra. Supplied with 10mm, 12.5mm and 25mm Plossl eyepieces.
