## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the this telescope compare to the XT6 dobsonian?**
A: If I had it to do over I wouldn’t have purchased a reflector I would’ve bought a refractor.  Hind sight.

**Q: Can you see the rings on Saturn with this telescope?**
A: With the 10mm viewing lens you can see the ring around Saturn. It isn't sharp enough to notice multiple rings, but it's pretty cool that you can see the ring around Saturn. Using 25mm viewer Saturn appears as an oblong planet.

**Q: What can you actually see? All planets, galaxies, black hole etc?**
A: I use it to watch the planets and it works great.

**Q: Does the orion observer 134mm equatorial reflector telescope have a motorized drive option?**
A: I don't believe it comes as a kit like this, but Orion sells an additional motor that can attach to this EQ mount to motorize it. Additionally, the EQ mount could be swapped out for a motorized mount down the line if you found one that you like.

The relevant kit for the 130ST EQ is the Orion TD-2 Electronic DC Tracking Drive for EQ Mount.
