The Sky Watcher BK1309EQ2 Telescope offers a f/6.9 focal ratio, enabling detailed astronomical observations and support for higher magnification capabilities.
Recognized as one of the leading choices for beginners, this telescope provides an excellent entry into amateur astronomy. At an affordable price, users gain access to a substantial instrument featuring a large primary mirror.
Optical system
As a Newtonian reflector, the standout feature is the generous 130 mm mirror. Capable of gathering approximately 240 times more light than the human eye during the night, it allows the observation of celestial bodies up to the 12th magnitude—well beyond the naked eye's 6th magnitude limit. The mirror size also enhances optical resolution, making it possible to distinguish stars separated by just over 1.1".
Equipped with a 6x24 optical finderscope for accurate targeting of astronomical objects.
Mount
The EQ2 equatorial mount with slow-motion controls facilitates precise alignment with star charts or atlases, offering smooth operation along both right ascension and declination axes. The upgraded mounting head provides improved stability and load-bearing compared to the EQ1, making it especially suitable for longer optical tubes, such as those with a 900 mm focal length. Proper alignment with the north celestial pole ensures efficient telescope use. Motor drives can be added for automated tracking of celestial objects across the sky.
Eyepiece holder
An integrated eyepiece holder accommodates 1.25" eyepieces. The kit features two eyepieces with 25 mm and 10 mm focal lengths, delivering 36x and 90x magnification. A 2x Barlow lens is also included, extending available magnifications to 72x and up to 180x.
