Its versatile aperture range, surprisingly lightweight body and high-quality parabolic primary mirrors are just a few of the astounding features that make this item a worthy choice for viewing objects in our solar system with breathtaking clarity. Here’s a guide to the SkyWatcher Explorer 250PX HEQ5 SynTrek 250mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope that describes in greater detail the telescope’s outstanding features. It includes information about the features that make it a good buy, the telescope's important specifications and a price range to know what to reasonably expect to pay for this item.

Features:
The serious amateur astronomer will find the aperture range of the telescope's Newtonian reflectors to be spot on even the most demanding standards. From a very respectable 130mm to a stupendous 300mm, the aperture range gives users fantastic all round range to see many planets, near-by stars and the moon with great clarity and beauty.

The clarity and the beauty of the images is enhanced with its high-quality silicon dioxide coated primary parabolic mirror that is built to eliminate the fuzzy distortions you might get when using spherical primary mirrors that use “fast” focal length reflectors. The primary parabolic mirrors on this telescope take full advantage of the parabola’s special light focusing capabilities so that the images you see are crisp, clear and without those nagging fuzzy distortions that can ruin a lovely evening of stargazing.

Furthermore, the serious amateur will also appreciate the durable 1.75" stainless steel tripod that can be adjusted to a height between 85-147 cm (34-46.8 inches) and users who stargaze often will enjoy never having to stoop down again to use their telescopes.

Finally, its portability will amaze you. Its lightweight body (it weighs only 25.3 lbs (11.5 kgs)) and small physical dimensions (126.5 cm x 47cm x 51.5 cm) (50.6" x 18.8" x 20.6") make it jolly easy to carry with you on stargazing trips.
