Get a FREE UHC Filter & 3X Barlow, a value worth $134.95, when you buy this 130mm Sky-Watcher GTi Dobsonian Telescope!  

UHC Filter:  An Ultra High Contrast, or UHC filter can be used to help block out the effects of contrast-lowering light pollution!  It's especially great when viewing in urban areas, but even if you are lucky enough to have darker skies, this filter will up the contrast between that sky and objects you are observing.  

3X Barlow:  A Barlow lens accepts any eyepiece or other telescope accessory with the same sized barrel, and increases magnification by a certain factor, such as 2X, 3X, 5X, etc.  This Barlow has a 1.25" barrel and a magnification factor of 3X; therefore, it will work with all your 1.25" eyepieces to magnify the results of that eyepiece alone by three times.  For instance, the 25 mm eyepiece included with the GTi 130P, when used alone, produces a magnification of 26X, for a nice low power, wide angle view.  When inserted into the 3X Barlow, however, the celestial object you are looking at will be magnified 78X!  A Barlow is a wonderfully economical way to increase your choices of magnification!

The Sky-Watcher 130P Virtuoso GTi has undergone a major transformation from the original Sky-Watcher Virtuoso in all the ways that matter: Larger aperture, faster focal ratio, a collapsible optical tube assembly, and built-in Wi-Fi for full GoTo telescope control via a smartphone with the free Sky-Watcher SynScan app for iOS and Android.  While the original Virtuoso from Sky-Watcher was more focused on planetary, solar, and lunar viewing with its long focal length and included solar filter, this Virtuoso GTi telescope borrows its collapsible optical tube design from the popular line of Flextube and Heritage Sky-Watcher Dobsonians for a versatile package that does it all. 

The Virtuoso GTi 130P features Sky-Watcher’s Radiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™) coatings on all optical surfaces for bright, bold views, and comes complete with everything you need to start exploring the night sky mere minutes out of the box including a red dot finder and two eyepieces (25mm and 10mm).  With the free SynScan Pro app – available for iOS and Android -- the user has access to a database that contains over 10,000 objects, including Messier, NGC, IC, and Caldwell catalogs. Align on the stars using one of four alignment methods to put Virtuoso GTi's internal computer to work and track objects like the Sun, Moon, and stars at precise rates.  Also included is Sky-Watcher's patented Freedom Find™  technology uses dual encoders to allow manual control while retaining alignment and position information, providing exceptional convenience and flexibility while viewing.
