HI and welcome to the forum. Good value scope that will is certainly capable of giving you a good start in astronomy and is certainly a popular scope amongst members here.

Clear skies and enjoy the forum.

You might find this useful for when you get your scope (if its on a EQ mount):

I'd also recommend a book called Turn Left at Orion

There's also a piece of free software called Stellarium

I hope you get as much enjoyment out of the scope as I have out of mine. If you have any questions, just come back to SGL. It's a very friendly place and there are always people on here who are happy to help.

Hi Tasape.

I'm a newb too and the 130 is on my shortlist of starter scopes. I'd be interested to see how you get on with it. Still not sure whether to go for the parabolic or motorised version as I want to try some basic imaging eventually.
