Hey guys! I have found an auction of the Sky-Watcher Explorer 130 for 40 euros plus 30 shipping to Greece on ebay! Is this telescope really good and what can i expect to see with it?

Plus, i really hope I win it!

I think there are two types of Skywatcher Explorer 130 - the F/6.9 version:

and the F/5 version:

Both are good scopes and can show you lots of great views of many different objects. Too many to list and describe in detail though !

Either of these scopes is a big improvement over the other scopes you have been looking at lately so I hope you win it within your budget as well.

Bad luck but thats the way it goes sometimes. It's important to stick to your budget and not get carried away just to win the auction. There will be other scopes soon no doubt.
