Vixen 130mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope with APZ Alt-Az Mount – Easy GoTo Stargazing for Beginners & Families (ES25844-SO)

A Powerful, Portable Deep-Sky Telescope That's Ready to Use Out of the Box

The APZ-R130Sf combines a 130mm Newtonian reflector with Vixen's APZ alt-azimuth mount — a complete, ready-to-use system for visual deep-sky observing. The 130mm parabolic mirror gathers significantly more light than smaller beginner scopes, revealing faint star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in real detail, while the fast f/5 focal ratio keeps the tube compact and the field of view wide.

The APZ mount uses friction-controlled axes with sealed ball bearings and slow-motion controls, making it easy to sweep the sky by hand and fine-tune your aim without jarring the view. No motors, no setup complexity — just point and look.
