The SpaceProbe 130EQ is an affordable beginner telescope. The classic long-tube Newtonian design allows for all around great performance. The EQ-2 mount is very sturdy and you can add the optional electronic drive for automatic tracking.
You can put the EQ-2M Orion Electronic Telescope Drive System on a compatible Orion or Celestron equatorial mount and track celestial objects automatically. The hand controller has 2 speeds and a pause mode which make observing easier.
