The Black Friday deals are hotting up, and we've spied two excellent telescope deals at Wex Photo Video. Last year's Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day didn't yield much by way of good price drops on telescopes, so we were pleased to see this offer on one of the very best telescopes around. Head to Wex Photo video for £36 off the award-winning Sky-Watcher Explorer-130 EQ2 telescope, or £20 off the version with motorised mount.
The SkyWatcher EXPLORER 130 (EQ2) is a Newtonian Reflector telescope (not sure what that is? Consult our telescope types explainer), and it's suitable for both keen beginners to stargazing and more seasoned astronomers. It can be used for viewing the Moon and planets or venturing into deep space. A £36 price drop puts it amongst the best Black Friday deals we've spotted, but there's also a decent discount on the Sky-Watcher EXPLORER-130M, which is an identical telescope, but with a motorised mount to automatically track objects.
The Sky-Watcher Explorer 130 EQ2, which is the telescope that comes in both these versions, is suitable for both beginners and those with more experience (if you're looking for some more options for newbies to stargazing, check out our best telescope for beginners guide). It boasts a useful 130mm of light gathering aperture, and an EQ2 equatorial mount with slow motion cables to give you full control and smoothly track objects as they move across the sky.
