Celestron NexStar 130 SLT, 130mm (5.1″) diameter Newtonian Reflector Telescope with Motorized Altazimuth Mount & 4,000+ Object Database - Demo Model

The popularity of Celestron’s NexStar 114 models inspired us to go bigger! Celestron is proud to introduce NexStar 130 SLT. The NexStar 130 SLT has 30% more light-gathering power than our 114mm telescope. And the 114 SLT, like the other models in the SLT Series, comes with a fully computerized hand control. The computerized hand control gives you the ability to automatically slew to any of its 4,000+ objects, including over 600 galaxies, 300 clusters and dozens of beautiful binary stars. With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 114 SLT can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. The SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze.View the details of the lunar surface, the rings of Saturn, the polar ice caps on Mars, the cloud belts on Jupiter or a number of the Messier objects such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M13), or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). Begin to explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capabilities of the 130 SLT’s 5″ primary mirror. Because of the Newtonian design, the mirror gives fully color-corrected views that are best suited for astronomical use. SkyAlign With Celestron’s revolutionary new alignment technology, setting up and using a computerized telescope is faster and easier than ever before! Point the telescope at three bright objects in the sky and the telescope tells YOU what
Customer Review: Sweet telescope!
The first shipment from this vendor was damaged in transit. Not their fault. Exchange procedures were VERY easy and amazingly prompt. Highly recommended vendor!! The telescope operates very well, although there is a learning curve to the alignment procedure. I added a Barlow lens to double magnification–incredible!!.
