{"product_id":"sky-watcher-heritage-130-tabletop-dobsonian","title":"Heritage 130 Tabletop Dobsonian","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1668, Sir Isaac Newton invented the first reflector telescope. By using mirrors instead of optical lenses, Newton was able to increase the aperture of his telescope while reducing the overall size of the tube, leading to brighter views of the night sky. The Heritage 130 pays homage to this design by honoring some of the great astronomers throughout history: Galileo, Messier, Kepler, Newton, among others. By using a lightweight 130mm parabolic primary mirror and a compact, manual azimuth mount, the Heritage 130 is the perfect blend of portability and aperture, just as Newton intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCollecting 319% more light than the human eye, the Heritage 130 is a powerful tabletop dobsonian capable of delivering stunning views of planets, galaxies and nebulae while remaining affordable.
