Have a look at the Skywatcher site. They have the specs there for all of their current models

The 130PM is an f5 130mm refractor with therefore a FL of 650mm. This is the same spec as what Skywatcher refers to the 13065 on their site. Its size is 16cm x 61.5cm.

The 6" Skyliner has a 1200mm FL which is the same as FL of 8" & 10" models. According to Skywatcher, their length is 112cm. the diameter will be 5-6mm wider than the primary mirror, say 158mm

Does that help you?

My friend who owned one of thesse for years often put it on a milk crate, a 15" cube, to raise the ep a bit for viewing. He found it an excellent scope.
