Celestron - NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope for Compact and Portable Stargazing

The Celestron NexStar 130SLT is a computerized telescope that boasts a database of more than 4,000 stars, galaxies, nebulae, and more, building on the popularity of the NexStar 114SLT telescope. With 30% more light-gathering power than the 114mm telescope, the 130SLT inspires users to explore the skies on a larger scale.

At the heart of the telescope's Newtonian reflector optical design is a large 130mm primary mirror, which provides fully color-corrected views ideal for astronomical use. The telescope locates and tracks your object with pinpoint accuracy, thanks to its computerized NexStar+ hand control. This hand control gives you the ability to automatically slew to any of the 4,000+ objects in its database, including over 600 galaxies, 300 clusters, and dozens of beautiful binary stars.

Designed for both adults and children, the NexStar 130SLT is perfect 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 a pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod that allows the telescope to be set up and ready to use in a matter of minutes.

Aligning the telescope is a breeze, thanks to Celestron's SkyAlign technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED. 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 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). You can also explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capabilities of the 130SLT's five-inch primary mirror.

The NexStar 130SLT Computerized GoTo Telescope also includes a free download of Celestron's Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software, providing an interactive sky simulation for an enriched viewing experience.

Purchasing the NexStar 130SLT comes with the confidence of buying from the world's #1 telescope brand, Celestron, based in California since 1960. Buyers also receive a two-year warranty and unlimited access to technical support from Celestron's team of US-based experts.

In summary, the Celestron NexStar 130SLT is a powerful and versatile computerized telescope that offers a comprehensive database, easy alignment, and impressive light-gathering capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and experienced stargazers.
