Description

Explore FirstLight 130mm f/4.6 Newtonian Telescope (OTA only)A 130mm f 4. 6 Newtonian reflector with a fast focal ratio optimized for wide field deep sky views the only reflector in the FirstLight OTA lineup and the best choice for observers who want to sweep through nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. The fast f 4. 6 focal ratio and 600mm focal length deliver wide true fields of view that refractors and Maksutov Cassegrains at the same aperture cannot match. A 25mm eyepiece produces 24x at a field wide

A 130mm f/4.6 Newtonian reflector with a fast focal ratio optimized for wide-field deep-sky views — the only reflector in the FirstLight OTA lineup and the best choice for observers who want to sweep through nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.

The fast f/4.6 focal ratio and 600mm focal length deliver wide true fields of view that refractors and Maksutov-Cassegrains at the same aperture cannot match. A 25mm eyepiece produces 24x at a field wide enough to frame the entire Orion Nebula or Pleiades cluster in a single view. The 130mm parabolic primary mirror gathers enough light to reveal structure in galaxies, resolve individual stars in globular clusters, and show the wispy filaments of bright nebulae from a reasonably dark site.

The Newtonian design delivers all 130mm of unobstructed aperture without the chromatic aberration of achromatic refractors — stars are sharp, white points across the field. Fully multi-coated optics on the secondary mirror and included eyepiece maximize contrast. At 7 lbs, the tube is light enough for a wide range of equatorial and alt-az mounts.

Key Features
  • 130mm (5.1") parabolic Newtonian reflector, fully multi-coated
  • 600mm focal length, f/4.6 — wide-field deep-sky performance
  • Lightweight: 7 lbs
  • Includes 25mm Plossl eyepiece, red-dot finder, smartphone adapter
  • Vixen-style dovetail
Ideal For
  • Deep-sky observers — the fast focal ratio frames large objects like nebulae and open clusters that longer telescopes can only show in pieces
  • Astrophotography beginners — f/4.6 gathers light quickly for shorter exposures on a tracking mount
  • Budget-minded observers wanting aperture — 130mm of mirror collects more light than any refractor near this price

Great book of fun facts about nation’s capital!
Format: Flexibound
I take my 3 boys (3, 5, 7) to Washington DC each year. This is a wonderful book full of fun facts for our nation’s capital. If you are looking for a kid version of a travel book that maps you through neighborhoods, etc., this is not it, but what kid would like that kind of book? That’s what grown-ups are for - mapping out the trip. Rather, this is a great supplement to read at bedtime to learn all sorts of facts about the city - from the historical pets of the White House to the error in the inscription on the Abraham Lincoln memorial. Really - these are great facts for adults also! Each page is a separate set of topics on its own, so it’s easy to read just a few pages at a time. Also there are great illustrations to hold the younger audience’s interest as well. This is a great buy and a must-have to get kids ready for their trip, or to read during it, or after (or all three!).

Happy Wanderer
Format: Flexibound
City Trails is not a guided walking tour (like the Freedom Trail here in Boston) of the Metro DC area. No addresses or street names are noted in the blurbs. To actually visit any of these places, you’ll have to consult a real map. For instance, the chapter “Statue City” highlights notable statuary around town. But the Capitol Building statues (in SE DC) are far from the Cathedral ones (in NW DC.) The themed groupings (G-G-G-Ghosts, Animals Around Town, Water World and more) are less maps to any place and more of an interesting overview of our Nation’s amazingly diverse and action-packed city. It’s best read as a primer on experiencing the flavor of the city (I lived and worked there.) It reads more along the lines of the “Weird But True” series made famous by National Geographic for Kids. I don’t see this being of value to tourists in town for a limited time whose sightseeing is going to include major attractions like government buildings (White House, Capitol), museums (Smithsonian), some monuments (Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington) and other popular sites (Ford’s Theater.) This guide is actually best suited for the Metro-area (WDC, MD and VA) resident – child or adult - who wants a deeper dive into their hometown’s off-the-beaten-path sights and stories. A well designed and written book of historical trivia.

Nice way to learn about a trip to D.C.
Format: Flexibound
I got this for my kids to read before we went to Washington D.C. The pages are colorful, illustrated, and have short bursts of interesting details about the various attractions available to tourists who are visiting. My kids were eager to find the places on our itinerary and read about them ahead of time. They learned what to expect and were sure not to miss the important aspects of our tours. This book is recommended for 9 to 12 year olds and I think that is the perfect range. There is just enough information to peak their interest and not so much that they get bored by reading a bunch of text. The Table of Contents wasn't that informative in finding specific places, but the index was. My kids preferred to leaf through the whole book and find what was interesting to them.

Not good for travel, picture book only
Format: Flexibound
This is a beautiful book with fantastic illustrations and an engaging color palette. It includes a good variety of historical background information and sightseeing locations. However, it is a better picture book for browsing only. It is not a good travel book for kids to plan their own adventures. Who has ever heard of a travel book without maps?! No maps, no directions, no coordinating subway/bus maps. The printing is exceptionally small, almost too small to read. The book should have been made larger to accommodate the text. The text is excellent, but it printed as if the publisher never expected the kid/parent to read it. On one hand, our family really enjoyed how engaging the book appeared, but we were disappointed in its quality as a travel book. It shouldn’t be marketed as a travel book, but a geography book series.
