Details

The AWB (Astronomers Without Borders) OneSky telescope is a 130 mm Newtonian reflector. It The truss tube telescope collapses into a compact size for storage and transport.

This telescope is designed to be placed on a small table or similar support when in use and does not come with a tripod.

The red-dot finder is easy to use. However, you need to be able to see your target in the sky order to aim the scope accurately. In the city, a red-dot finder works well when aiming at the moon, planets, and bright stars. Finding faint deep sky objects generally requires dark sky unless, like the Great Orion Nebula, the object you are looking for is located near a bright star.

It is always good to set up a telescope away from any direct line of sight to porch lights or street lights, and this is especially important for an open truss tube design like the AWB 130.
