Hi! I have a Sky-watcher P 130/650 Starquest and I'm enjoying it at its best. We got this two months ago and was only able to observe the moon, Saturn and Jupiter (a little). Because, unfortunately and unbelievably it was raining and gloomy mostly all these times. Therefore can anyone help to get an idea of what I can expect from a 130mm Telescope? Hoping for your ideas! Nikolai.

Hi! I don't know whether this will be important. I saw your post now and that is why I'm replying now. I own a Sky-watcher P 130/650 Starquest, and I'm really enjoying this! There's no much WOBBLING in the mount and even the wobble settles down very quickly. The mount is very simple and easy to use and understand. This Telescope offers really great views and is very user friendly. The great thing is, this DON'T NEED TO BE COLLIMATED. Really you can GRAB AND GO! I have attached some photos of the moon which was taken by using the 5 pixel camera in this tab. Hope this will be helpful! Nikolai

Hi, I'm Nikolai De Silva from Sri Lanka and a beginner to this forum. I have a Sky-watcher P 130/650 Starquest and have a problem with Polar Aligning it. As it is said, the Telescope should be aligned with Polaris. The problem is, Polaris is only 7° above the horizon here! This can't be aligned. When I do so, the counterweight knocks the tripod. What should I do for this? Hoping for help! Thank you. Nikolai
