With a standard 20mm Plőssl, more than the entire moon fills the eyepiece. You’ll view innumerable star clusters and dark clouds, not to mention nebulas and galaxies. Add a 32mm and the heavens open up with a remarkable 2.5 degree field of view! All of the stars in the Pleiades can be viewed at the same time. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects. Actual groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument.The R130Sf comes standard with the 6 x 30 finder and dovetail tube plate that fits very well on all the Vixen mounts. This is a scope you can start with on a basic user-friendly Porta Mount and later move up to one of our electronic mounts such as the Skypod or Sphinx.

Made in China *by B***G on July 31, 2019* This telescope has no collimation instructions. After consulting another owner, I realized that one of the hex screws to adjust the secondary is defective, impossible to move, probably tightened to much at the factory. The other two move fine, so I know it is not me or my hex key. The center screw of the secondary was so over-tightened I could barely loosen it without breaking the flimsy spider vanes. I was able to collimate it closely enough, through, to try it out some: The finder scope is bad and requires a lot of squinting -- it would be cheap even for a plastic BB gun. The focuser seems to "back-off" a hair after I let go, so I have to go just slightly past where it is focused, and then let go, as it will move back. The telescope seems fine otherwise, which is a pity because for just a little extra effort it would be just fine. But if it does not function properly out of the box -- that's 1-star, defective. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ R130sf *by G***Z on May 28, 2010* R130sfThe R130sf is a great little inexpensive newtonian. Its very portable and easy to use. One cool feature was the ability to shoot pictures through the telescope with just a T-ring for my camera. All other newtonians I have had won't come to focus, but on the R130, the focuser barrel unscrews in the middle, so you are able to get the camera closer and therefore focus. The images were crisp and bright through the scope and its very light. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good grab-and-go telescope with some quirks *by E***1 on November 18, 2012* First of all: it's pretty. Very pretty. Second: it is well made with the exception of the focuser but I'll say more on this later. The scope comes in a nice strong box that can be used for storage. The 20mm eyepiece is very good, the 6.3mm not so. I did not use the finder even though it is of better quality than that in more expensive telescopes that I have tested. I have attached a Telrad finder on it; I prefer this type of finder but that's just me. Hey, even the 100-inch scope used by Edwin Hubble at the Mt Wilson observatory has two Telrads on it!!! You also get a nice front cover with a smaller opening (and its own cap) to be used for special solar system observations. The rings are strong and allow the user to mount a DSLR on top of the scope; the dovetail bar will fit most standard tripod mounts.As soon as I got it I decided to do a collimation even though it is not a critical step to perform for scopes with a 6" aperture or less. I used my laser collimator and a mask to mark a small circle on the mirror that I had removed for cleaning purposes. There was some dust on the primary mirror, either from storage or from who knows what. When this is done and the tension of the spider veins is adjusted, the scope is ready for observations of the sky. Again, none of these steps is necessary but they do improve the overall performance of the instrument if they are done properly.The telescope rewards its user with clear bright pictures of the planets, constellations, and other objects such as the Orion nebula. The moon is spectacular too. It becomes evident that it is not a toy and because of its very good performance it can be used to take pictures with a camera, such as a small DSLR. The focuser is designed for this purpose too, the t-threads are already there waiting for the t-threaded DSLR adapter of your choice. But, the rack-and-pinion focuser is also the weak point of the scope. The base is made of plastic, the moving portion is made of aluminum and because of its design and construction there is some image shift when you focus. After the focusing process stops however, everything s nice and the views are very rewarding. Unless you look at Venus. Due to the high brightness of the planet you will see 4 spikes around it, as many as the spider veins of the scope. If you had a scope with 3 spider veins you would see 6 spikes around Venus or any other bright object. There is not much you can see on Venus with this scope though. Even with a 60-inch scope that I was lucky to use once you still see nothing on Venus.I motorized the plastic focuser to avoid shaking during the focusing process and I used some plastic screws on both sides of the focuser to reduce image shifting. After many months of use I have made up my mind: I won't sell this one ever. But I do plan to replace the focuser one day. Keep in mind that the supplied eyepieces will not cover all your needs. I have used eyepieces that cost from $30 to $130 each with this scope and I have no complaints. When the weather conditions allow it this scope will make you stay out of the house for hours. It is not heavy and hence it is my grab-and-go. I use an equatorial mount similar to the CG4 by Celestron. No mount comes with this scope, you will have to buy one. Remember, even a good scope is useless without a good mount. A CG4 (or a clone of it) is more than adequate.The red logo on the white paint is the big selling point of the scope because (here it comes one more time) this baby is pretty. And very functional, and lightweight, and very well made, and... Well, go buy one to see for yourself. It was on sale when I bought it and that made the deal even more sweet. -DrF --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1157983-vixen-2604-r130sf-telescope](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1157983-vixen-2604-r130sf-telescope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
