Ā About theĀ 
Celestron NexStar 130 SLT - 5" Reflector Computerized Telescope
  • Ā Celestron NexStar 130SLT 130mm f/5 Reflector TelescopeĀ is a complete system for making observations of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-space objects such as binary stars, star clusters, galaxies and nebulae.

  • The combination of large aperture and shorter focal length translates to a fast f/5 focal ratio making this iteration of the NexStar telescope series ideal for wide-field astrophotography or making detailed images of the Moon.

  • Ā Includes two eyepieces, plus an unmagnified finderscope and stainless steel adjustable-height tripod. Everything you need to get started right away.

  • Controlling the motorized single-arm fork mount is the NexStar computer hand controller.

Ā 

Set up is made easy through the use of easyĀ Ā alignment procedures, and keeping objects centered is accomplished with variable tracking rates

LoadedĀ with over 4000 celestial objects in its database and expanded information on over 100 of those objects, users have the ability to add 99 of their own customer objects to help customize their experience.

Ā For fast observation sessions, why not simply choose Tour mode and let Ā the NexStar build a selection of the best objects for that date, time, and location and automatically go to those objects.
