Celestron 31145 NexStar 130SLT Portable Computerised Newtonian Reflector Telescope, Grey

Product Information

The popularity of our NexStar 114 models inspired us to go bigger! We are 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. Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze. There is no mention of the 130 or any other SLTs at all because the book precedes this series in which case the design of the base may have changed and become more akin to that of the larger SCT series where, certainly on the larger 'scopes mounted on the single arm, no azimuth movement by hand is possible.

NexStar 130SLT is ready to grow with you as you become a more experienced amateur astronomer. It’s compatible with all Celestron’s latest accessories, including StarSense AutoAlign, SkyPortal WiFi module, and PowerTank Lithium. read less High-Quality Optics: The NexStar 130 SLT provides excellent image quality and a wide field of view with its 130 mm reflector and 2-inch eyepiece holder. The large mirror size allows for greater light-gathering capabilities, making it easier to observe faint objects in the night sky. The telescope also offers adjustable magnification, allowing you to zoom in on specific details of celestial objects. For starters, its primary mirror is aluminum multi-coated. Whenever you see or hear the word “multi-coated” regarding telescopes, it means that at least the primary mirror has more than one layer of coatings. There’s no question that the 127 SLT is more than satisfactory for many people, but if you’re looking for an all-encompassing view, the 130 SLT is the better option. Price

Surprisingly, the 130 SLT is also the more cost-efficient option, as it’s often a tad cheaper than the 127 SLT. The StarNavigator NG scopes are actually less well-built than the NexStar SLTs, and I would hesitate to recommend either. Reply Secondly, on reading the SLT manual, it infers that you can, (with power off), move the OTA as it describes it. I'm not however sure that this means just in Altitude like my N8i, or in both Altitude and Azimuth. How far roughly does the base move when it does and do you have to go to the highest speed (9) on the HC to make it move at all or are there different effects at the lower (noticeable) speed settings ? The software has a slew limit of +65 degrees altitude (elevation) set in by default. I suspect that it could get somewhat closer to the zenith at some azimuths where the tripod legs are not a problem. The slew limit can be changed.

Primer apilado en RAW, tenía dificultades en el color al usar PIPP con los CV2 de la Canon desde que adquirí la T7 , despues de 3 meses y medio me recomendaron usar PS para convertir a TIFF. Hi Ankeet, your description indicates that you are not coming to focus properly or trying to ramp up the magnification too much (which the 25mm is not capable of), you need a shorter focal length eyepiece to give you more power. The focal length is what determines a telescope’s angular field of view, and the shorter the focal length, the wider FOV you can enjoy.A: With the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT, you can see a wide variety of celestial objects, including the moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. The telescope’s 25mm eyepiece provides a good balance of magnification and field of view. Q: How does the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT align? With reflecting telescopes, you always have to collimate. Collimation is a simple process of aligning the mirrors of the telescope. Poor collimation can result in blurry images or focusing problems. MAKSUTOV-CASSEGRAIN OPTICAL DESIGN: With a large, 127mm aperture, the NexStar 127SLT can gather enough light to see our Solar System and beyond. View Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s cloud bands, the Moon's craters, and the Orion Nebula in brilliant detail. The wide field of view and large, but not huge, aperture of the Celestron NexStar 130SLT make it good for looking at large deep-sky objects like open star clusters like M11 and M45. You’ll also have no trouble viewing the Orion Nebula or the Swan, resolving a few stars in bright globular clusters, and spotting a few planetary nebulae like the Ring and Dumbbell. Most galaxies will remain little more than fuzzy blobs, though a few, such as M31 and M82, might show dust lanes. Keep in mind, however, that if maximum image brightness and detail are your goals, dark skies and aperture rule over all else. The 130SLT will struggle to show you much in the way of deep-sky views if you live in a city beyond the brightest star clusters. Compatible with optional NexRemote telescope control software, for advanced control of your telescope via computer

SkyAlign - the simplest, fastest & most beginner friendly alignment method available on any computerised telescope. Chris - your mags will be x26 and x33 - not very much for planetary work. (You normally get something like a 10 and a 25, I think. A 10mm would give you x65 - still not much for a short focal length 'scope.) Mars will look very, very small at those mags - you need longer focal length eyepieces. Jupiter will look a little better/bigger with what you have. You’ll find that both offer a decent viewing experience, but this is another where the 130 SLT takes the cake.Part Number: 31145-CGL The Celestron 130 SLT includes a fully computerised GOTO hand control which enables you to automatically slew to any of it’s 4,000+ objects, including over 600 galaxies, 300 clusters and dozens of beautiful binary stars. The first thing you have to do is to align it with the optical tube, so when you are looking through it, and the red dot is on the object, you want to see the same object in the eyepiece of the telescope. Although you can easily view many nearby objects, this telescope caters to those who are looking for more distant objects in the night sky. Those who are looking for a wider focal length would benefit from the 130 SLT as well.
