Sky-Watcher launched recently two dobsonian telescopes (130P & 150P) with GoTo capabilities, easy

to transport and use (Figure 1).

The Virtuoso GTi are compact and easy-to-use tabletop telescopes, ideal for all kind of observations.

The collapsible system makes it is particularly easy to store and transport. Just extend the tube, point

the telescope using the red dot finder scope, insert the eyepiece and enjoy the night sky, these Sky-

Watcher Telescopes will reveal details in Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands, the Martian polar ice caps,

and the phases of Venus and the moon.

The Virtuoso GTi suffered a major transformation from the original Sky-Watcher Virtuoso mount: (i)

Larger aperture, (ii) faster focal ratio, (iii) a collapsible OTA, and (iv) built-in Wi-Fi for full GoTo

telescope control via a smartphone and Sky-Watcher's free SynScan app for iOS and Android.

optical tube design from the popular line of Flextube and Heritage Sky-Watcher Dobsonians for a

versatile package that does it all.

Virtuoso GTi 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 out of the box including a red dot finder and two eyepieces (25 mm and 10 mm). With the
