- A short video to assess the quality of the Heritage 130 optics. I've put the OTA onto a Vixen AP mount, and i use a ZWO camera to look at the moon.

watched all 4 videos!! Excellent Excellent!! I have the 130P and can't wait for a clear nite!! Thank you!!
Thanks!
Great video! a nice telescope for beginners......nice stacked images of the Moon :)
I like your 4 way split screen at the end. Might have to copy that :)
The 4 way slit screen is awesome :)
Incredible video, Thanks! Buying this scope next week :}
Nice choice....I wish you all the best with your telescope my friend :)
@@Nottsboy24 very kind Thank you Sir.
Nice Presentation!
Nice lunar pics.
Nice to see that this scope even has flexibility for some astrophotography. I was thinking it could make a nice compact set up for EAA.
The optics are good, it's just the helical focuser that makes it a little difficult. But with practice it can be done!
Good evening. I really enjoyed this video. Is the image sharp and bright visually? The camera one looks a bit dull. By the way I couldn't find the sharp cap app you mentioned. Is it in android Google Play , apple store or Microsoft? one?
Hertfordshire Allotment Life Hello, the app runs on a PC or laptop. I use a Windows laptop. The app allows you to adjust the exposure of each frame, so I could have brightened it by increasing the exposure using a slider. It’s a trade off as always to get the best results.
@@JenhamsAstro - Thanks that is great! Is there any of the android or IOS apps that you recommend for using with mobile devices?
Hertfordshire Allotment Life NightCap is an app that allows you to adjust a smartphone’s camera. Worth a look if you plan to do “over the eyepiece” photos.
Hola. Estoy tentado de prescindir del soporte Dobson para mi Heritage 130p, pero estoy indeciso sobre la montura. Quiero probar la astrofotografía. Qué setup utilizaste para tu vídeo. Un saludo y cielos despejados.
Any collimation issues with the extending tube?
Astro Shlibber Suprisingly not. It seems to cope well with normal setups, with tube retraction and extension. I’ve tweaked the collimation a couple of times but nothing more.
Hello sir. How’s the image quality when viewing Saturn or Jupiter? Can you see much detail of the rings and moons? 🪐
Hi, both planets appear very small. You will clearly see that Saturn has rings and that Jupiter has bands, but don’t expect to see fine details. The brighter moons will appear as bright dots. Clear skies.
Can you please explain how this telescope is placed on a mount? I'm thinking of buying the Heritage 150, but not sure how I'd raise it (without bringing a table for example). Can it be raised on an alt mount? Thanks
Hello, yes the tube includes a standard “vixen” type dovetail bar which means you could attach the tube to any alt az mount which accepts such a dovetail. Alternatively yes you can put on a table or make a stand yourself.
@@JenhamsAstro that's really helpful, thank you
This telescopio can be placed on a Star Tracker Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i?, and supports the weight of a standard camera?
Hello, I don't have that tracker but on paper the telescope tube would be OK with a lightweight astro camera like an ASI. A DSLR would be on the limit with the 130P and in general a DSLR isn't a great choice for the 130P, as it has a lightweight focuser and general construction - in my view the scope is best suited to visual scanning of the sky. The telescopes that I have seen with this tracker, with a DSLR, have been small APO refractors like a 72ED.
@@JenhamsAstrothank you.
how many pictures did you stack in those shots?
Hi, I've cleaned out the original .avi so can't be certain. I would say around 30s at 30fps, so about 1000 frames of video.
this scope has a motor drive? i thought it was a dobson
The scope package has no drive when on its standard Dobsonian mount. For the static image I moved the optical tube onto a driven mount I have.
@@JenhamsAstro another question: is it a good idea to buy an EQ mount and put this scope on it? since a good EQ is out of my budget ATM im thinking of buying this scope, and later on buying an EQ so i can do easier tracking
I would say no, the 130p is a simple low power scope and you don’t need the hassle and cost of an Eq, unless you get into some kinds of astrophotography, for which this isn’t really the ideal scope. I would leave getting an Eq until you buy a 2nd scope and use the 130p without any bells or whistles.
@@JenhamsAstro alright, thanks
@@JenhamsAstro alright, thanks
The 130p seems much more expensive then £150 now unfortunately.
Yes you are right: Prices have gone up a lot and stocks are often scarce.
@@JenhamsAstro looks like prices are £199 now, was told by a store that Skywatcher is telling it's resellers they all need to raise prices.
@@umirza Yeah, I just found one for sale, it was £200.
