Budget-friendly StarGazer: Sky-Watcher’s DX130P Aims for Beginner-Grade Precision

Sky-Watcher’s StarQuest DX130P arrives as a complete, beginner-friendly Newtonian kit with a sturdy German equatorial mount and thoughtful accessories, delivering bright, wide views of star clusters and the Milky Way. It’s easy to set up and use, with a robust mount and useful features like a sub-aperture mask and a simple smartphone adapter, but eyepieces offer limited eye relief for spectacles and collimation can require adjustment. Priced at £279, it’s a polished entry point for new astronomers, though users should be prepared to fine-tune alignment and balancing for best results.
