Telescope Type
Reflector Telescopes
Reflectors use mirrors to gather and focus light, offering excellent aperture for the money. The most popular choice for beginners, they excel at deep-sky objects and work well under dark skies.

Sky-Watcher Heritage 100P
The Heritage 100P is Sky-Watcher's most affordable tabletop Dobsonian, and it's a genuine telescope rather than a toy.
Sky-Watcher
Sky-Watcher Explorer 130M
The Explorer 130M gives you the same 130mm aperture as the Heritage 130P but on an EQ2 equatorial mount rather than a Dobsonian.
Sky-Watcher
Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi 130P
The Virtuoso GTi 130P takes the Heritage 130P's proven tabletop Dobsonian optics and adds a motorised dual-axis GoTo base controlled wirelessly via the SynScan app.

Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ
The AstroMaster 130EQ is a 130mm f/5 Newtonian on an equatorial mount, Celestron's answer to Sky-Watcher's Explorer 130M.
Celestron
Celestron NexStar 130SLT
The NexStar 130SLT is Celestron's entry-level GoTo Newtonian — a 130mm f/5 parabolic reflector on a motorised single-arm alt-az mount with computerised target finding.
Sky-Watcher
Sky-Watcher Heritage 130P
The Heritage 130P is Sky-Watcher's best-selling beginner scope, and it's easy to see why.

Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P
The Heritage 150P is the largest of Sky-Watcher's tabletop Dobsonians, and at 150mm it crosses the threshold where visual astronomy starts to feel genuinely impressive.
Bresser
Bresser Messier N-150/750
The Bresser Messier N-150/750 is a 150mm f/5 Newtonian on an equatorial mount — a capable scope for the price, with a dual-speed Crayford focuser that is notably better than the rack-and-pinion fittings on comparable Sky-Watcher offerings at the same price.
Sky-Watcher
