Description

Celestron - AstroMaster 130EQ Newtonian Telescope - Reflector Telescope for Beginners - Fully-Coated Glass Optics - Adjustable-Height Tripod - Bonus Astronomy Software Package For amateur stargazers, getting adjusted to the complexity of most high-quality telescopes can be frustrating and lead quickly to a lack of interest. If you’d like to enjoy the outdoors and use a professionally-designed, dual-purpose telescope for astronomy beginners that is powerful and user-friendly, Celestron offers an exceptional option. The AstroMaster Series 130EQ Newtonian Telescope for adults or kids to be used together is a powerful yet user-friendly reflector telescope built with a lightweight frame and fully-coated glass optics. This telescope is powered by a fully-coated 130mm glass optic objective lens. It also features an AstroMaster German Equatorial manual mount that includes two easy-to- manipulate slow-motion control knobs that permit precision adjustments for viewing terrestrial and celestial objects in exceptional quality. We’ve included two eyepieces, a 20mm eyepiece that has a 45x magnification, and a 10mm eyepiece that can zoom up to 90x. This allows you to focus on distant objects with amazing clarity and perception. Celestron AstroMaster telescopes are designed with high-quality materials that provide crystal-clear and bright images of Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon, along with galaxies and nebulae. You can also use this telescope for viewing land-based objects during daytime hours. The telescope is quick to set up and requires no tools. The kit includes a rugged, pre-assembled tripod with 1.25-inch steel tube legs, which provide a stable platform for hours of safe use. As a bonus, download our BONUS Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software for interactive sky simulations that include a 36,000-object database. You can download printable sky maps, research thousands of celestial objects, and plan your next observing session. Buy with confidence from the world’s No.1 telescope brand, based in California since 1960.. Celestron – NexYZ – 3–Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Images and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope NexYZ fits any eyepiece from 35 mm to 60 mm in diameter including telescopes with 1.25” and 2” eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. NexYZ will also attach to microscopes with the addition of the included adapter ring, which takes the usable diameter down to 25 mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece. A strong spring and a threaded twist lock provide a two-level strong and secure grip on the optical instrument’s eyepiece so you can image with confidence. NexYZ also accommodates a huge range of smartphones. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. Even larger “phablets” like the iPhone 8 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices work perfectly. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier devices with ease. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexYZ’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action. Easy as X-Y-Z - What makes NexYZ different from other smartphone adapters? The three-axis adjustment. Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment in two axes. But NexYZ gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs, and then move up or down over the eyepiece until you have the entire field of view in your shot. And even though this adjustment is ultra-precise, it’s still quicker and easier than with other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexYZ, attach NexYZ to an eyepiece, start the camera app, and center the camera over the eyepiece using the knobs. If you switch phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, you will need only slight adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece. You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X, Y, and Z axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece. NOTE: NexYZ fits telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes. It will not fit riflescopes. NexYZ will work with most phone cases, but if you have an especially large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio style case, Celestron recommends removing it for optimal use. US and International Patents Pending. The phone clamp can open to 92mm in width. The bottom of the phone can be as much as 160mm from the center of the camera on the phone.

    • Worth the extra cost over the Powerseeker 127EQ
Size: 130EQ Newtonian Style: Telescope
Tried the Powerseeker 127EQ first and was only acceptable. Then I bought the Astromaster 130EQ and found it to be a fine quality sharp image excellent Reflector Telescope. You should be prepared to learn a bunch before feeling accustomed to this Reflector but you will be rewarded for your efforts. A laser collimator is a must to check, and if necessary, realign the mirrors, known as Collimating. I spent some time learning how to collimate this Scope, or align the mirrors and I devised an additional step in the beginning as I am a former technical writer. First, making sure the laser Collimator is NOT in the focuser tube and is definitely OFF, stand a few feet in front of the opening or aperture of the telescope and look into the opening where you will see the cross frame in front, the mirror in the back, and the reflection of the front cross frame in the back mirror. Then slowly and carefully concentrate on what you see and move your view slowly so the mirror and reflection of the cross frame appear centered within each other and the telescope tube. The point is to confirm that the main mirror is perpendicular to the axis of the tube such that all parts viewed appear to be all centered or concentric with each other. If looking straight down the tube center, you see the reflection of the secondary mirror frame up front off center and offset from the actual frame up front, then carefully adjust the primary mirror in back so everything looks aligned. That means the back mirror reflection of the front cross frame should be aligned behind the frame when looking absolutely down the center of the tube and the mirrors appear correctly centered. After you have assured a nearly aligned primary mirror when viewed from the front, then you can proceed to install the laser collimator into the eyepiece focuser with the indicator target pointing forward as the telescope does. Turn on the laser and DO NOT LOOK into the front of the telescope until you are done and the laser is out and OFF. Slowly adjust the secondary mirror up front carefully and slowly loosening and tightening very delicately each of the three screws until the laser dot is centered on the target. Remember to very delicately loosen and tighten the screws slowly and in steps between the three until you become accustomed to how the adjustments affect the laser dot on the target. Once you have centered the dot on the target adjusting the secondary mirror up front, then TURN OFF the laser and rotate the laser Collimator in the focuser tube such that the target opening is facing the back of the Telescope where the primary mirror is. Turn on the laser and observe the laser dot on or near the target. The dot should be centered in the target and likely will be close or off towards the outer part of the target. Very carefully loosen the locking phillip screws of the back large primary mirror to allow further adjustment with the larger knurled knobs that adjust the mirror. Very slowly adjust one knob at a time while you become accustomed to the results of each adjustment as they affect the movement of the laser light dot on the target of the collimator. Do this all slowly until you gradually learn the tricks to collimate. Do not make big adjustments to the primary mirror unless you have to. When done, turn OFF the laser collimator and remove it from the focusing tube. Once again, DO NOT look at the laser beam or the front of the telescope while the laser is in use. Now that the eyepiece focuser tube is open, look in the tube and you should see a reflection of your eye's pupil in the center of the small secondary mirror and mirrors and cross frame should all look centered upon each other or concentric. NEVER LOOK AT THE LASER BEAM END, ONLY THE DOT ON THE TARGET WHEN IT IS INSTALLED IN THE TELESCOPE. A laser collimator really is a must for easy collimation testing before each use of the telescope and especially after transporting the telescope as vibrations may change mirror alignment or collimation. I highly recommend pointing the telescope horizontal during mirror collimation outdoors as the laser light may be considered offensive by planes with resulting complaints and possible law actions. I collimate indoors. DANGER; never look at the laser beam as eye damage can result. Only look at the light dot on the target when the collimator is installed in the telescope. The laser collimators are very low power but safety practices should always be a way of life. In actual use, I just barely saw the cluster of galaxies between Virgo and Leo on a dark night near the new moon and gladly told myself it was worth the money and effort to have seen the dim but visible galaxies with the fuzzy center nuclei of stars. Dark conditions and eyes adjusted to the dark are necessary. I also viewed Jupiter and five of it's moons in very good detail on a marginal seeing night. The planet was actually too bright and required a filter to lower the the brightness and improve contrast. For the price, it is an excellent light gatherer. I also have a Powerseeker 80EQ Refractor that exhibits very clear images. The Telescope paid for itself when I could see deep space distant galaxies. That is a result of the larger light gathering ability of the Reflector. I recommend Dean Fuller's video on YOU TUBE on how to operate an equatorial mount and polar align for beginners. It was faster and easier to understand than the written instructions. ... show more

    • Great newtonian telescope, amazing views of dark skies and planets, but definitely not for beginners

The media could not be loaded. So, I'm gonna say this upfront: I wish I could give this telescope a 5 star review, because it is an AMAZING telescope...once you collimate it properly, and learn how to use an equatorial telescope. But here are some quick pros and a few more cons: PROS: - INCREDIBLE views of objects, great for very close planetary observations and very good at looking at Messier/deep space objects. - Not very complicated or hard to initially set up, I did it in less than an hour. - Once you learn how equatorial telescopes work, it's very easy to find targets and align the telescope, then follow targets with the fine tuners. - Comes mostly ready to go, alignment for me was (mostly) in place, but still needs proper collimating for serious users. - Tripod is relatively stable for the weight/size, once you have it firmly in the ground. - Comes with x10 and x20 Plossl eyepieces, and they are excellent lenses (for the prices eyepieces go for! - Targetfinder is VERY easy to use to align the scope, makes for fast changes (when it's not finnicky, see below, it's my biggest complaint about this telescope and others like it). CONS: - Collimating is very very time-consuming: one has to remove the 5 inch mirror at the bottom, perfectly center-dot it, put a binder-ring protector on the mirror (carefully), then align the 2ndary and primary mirrors. I used a collimating cap, not a laser collimator, it didnt sit in very well with enuf stability to get the alignment right. - Adjusting the base screws to collimate the primary mirror takes a lot of patience...I found when I locked one of the 3 screw sets down, it would get just a smidge out of alignment, so it took several tries to get the alignment right right at all 3 corners of the bottom tube. - Astrophotography is next-to-impossible with this telescope: I got into this wanting to take pictures, and for that purpose, its' only stable enuf for really good smart phone and a clamp mount at best. The viewfinder is on the side of the tube, and anything heavier than a cellphone will make it entirely unbalanced. But I've discovered that most telescopes are not really great at astrophotography...they are great for true, naked-eye astronomy though lol - Weight is fairly heavy, making this a little hard to travel with. Requires some disassembly, but it is doable with patience and some arm strength. - Starfinder/Targetfinder is easily the WEAKEST item on this scope. The lateral adjusters to get it aligned aren't very stable, and Im finding that the laser rolling switch is sometimes shorting out after just a few months of usage...may have to buy a better replacement, which is unfortunate, because when it's working, its VERY efficient in finding targets. (*UPDATE 6/10/23* : this stock starfinder basically died on me, and not because of the battery...the roller to turn it on/adjust dot brightness is thoroughly stripped out and not working...sadly, the standard replacement starfinders are no better, this is a SERIOUS problem that has an easy solution, but no mfr. wants to tackle...because the visual parts of it work great, but anything the rotates/rolls just doesn't last...hence the drop to 4 stars on this). All in all, Im "very pleased" with what I'm getting with this telescope, and I expect to use it for many more years to come. But it's really an intermediate-level telescope. If you are just getting started out, it could be a little daunting without some patience, and some help setting up. ... show more
