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 Omni 2X Barlow Lens A Barlow lens is the astronomy accessory that keeps on giving! Insert it between your eyepiece and your telescope to get double the magnification instantly. Let’s say you have two eyepieces in your accessory case, a 10 mm and a 25 mm. Add a Celestron Omni 2X Barlow Lens to the mix, and now you have four magnifications to choose from. Combining this lens with the 25 mm provides double the magnification, or the equivalent of a 12.5 mm eyepiece, while the 10 mm gives you the power of a 5 mm eyepiece. Eye relief is the distance your eye has to be from the first lens in the eyepiece in order to see the full field of view. When you use a Barlow lens with an eyepiece, you get double the magnification, but the eye relief is not affected. This is a good thing, because normally the shorter the focal length of the eyepiece, the less eye relief you have. In other words, a standard 10mm eyepiece, as a general rule, will have better eye relief than a 5mm eyepiece. Bonus! The Celestron Omni 2x Barlow comes in a sleek, silver package. The two-element optics are fully multi-coated, and the edges of the lenses are blackened to cut down on internal reflections. The 1.25” barrel will fit in standard 1.25” focusers and diagonals, and the Barlow will accept 1.25” eyepieces. A metal thumbscrew locks the eyepiece firmly in place.
