Celestron – NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope – Compact and Portable – Newtonian Reflector Optical Design – SkyAlign Technology – Computerized Hand Control – 130mm Aperture

Description

Building on the popularity of our NexStar 114SLT telescope, the 130SLT by
Celestron inspires us to go bigger, with 30% more light-gathering power than
our 114mm telescope. The Celestron NexStar 130SLT is a computerized telescope
that offers a database of more than 4,000 stars, galaxies, nebulae, and more.
The telescope locates your object with pinpoint accuracy and tracks it. At the
heart of the telescope’s Newtonian reflector optical design, a large 130mm
primary mirror gives fully color-corrected views ideal for astronomical use.
The 130SLT comes with a fully computerized NexStar+ 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. This telescope for adults and kids to be used
together is ideal for weekend camping trips or excursions to dark sky sites.
Its compact form factor makes it easy to transport and assemble just about
anywhere. With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 130SLT
can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. Our SkyAlign alignment
technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED make
aligning a breeze. Simply center any three bright objects in the eyepiece and
the NexStar SLT aligns to the night sky, ready to locate thousands of objects.
The NexStar 130SLT Computerized GoTo Telescope also includes a free download
of our Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software for an interactive sky
simulation. The power of this computerized telescope allows you to view the
details of the lunar surface, the rings of Saturn, the polar ice caps on Mars,
the cloud belts on Jupiter, and a number of the Messier objects, such as the
globular cluster in Hercules (M13) or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). Explore
some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering
capabilities of the 130SLT’s five-inch primary mirror. Buy with confidence
from the world’s 1 telescope brand, based in California since 1960. You’ll
also receive a two-year warranty and unlimited access to technical support
from our team of US-based experts.
