The Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Newtonian Reflector is a well-priced computerized telescope for beginners. It comes with two eyepieces, a red-dot finderscope, an adjustable tripod, and astronomy software, Starry Night. Overall, in terms of capability and affordability, this is a great mid-range telescope for both beginners and intermediate astronomers. The mount that’s included is also reportedly a little unstable at times. The battery life is very short, so you’ll need an external power supply, and the hand controller is difficult to learn for a beginner. However, this telescope does have similar downsides to the 90SLT. It also excels at viewing both planets and deep-sky objects beyond our solar system (to an extent, of course). Its alignment software, SkyAlign, is easy and straightforward, and it’s incredibly easy to find what you’re looking for with its 40,000-object database. Aside from the aperture being much higher, the computer system is practically flawless. Though it is similar to the 90SLT, it has some distinct differences. The Celestron NexStar 127SLT is another great beginner option, but with a higher aperture and a bit better power. With this best GPS telescope, you will see amazing detail of planets, star clusters, deep-sky objects, and far-away galaxies. The tripod is made of heavy-duty steel with a central leg support bracket for added stability.Īlso included is a tray to hold all your additional accessories. The database of over 40000 celestial objects tracks any object you desire.Īlthough it is heavy, the innovative lift-and-move ergonomic design of this digital telescope makes it easy to carry and easy to set up, even in the dark. Use the SkyAlign Alignment Technology to choose three bright celestial objects and the telescope aligns to the sky for you. It will set the date, time, longitude, and latitude. The GPS makes locating objects easy as it automatically downloads information from orbiting satellites and pinpoints your exact location on Earth. The scope comes with a fully computerized Altazimuth mount and internal GPS. Also included is a 9x50mm Finderscope for easy locating of celestial objects.

It comes with a large 40mm 1.25″ Plossl Eyepiece that gives 70x power magnification.

The telescope features a massive 280mm (11 inch) lens and a long 2800mm focal length. The optics are treated with Celestron’s Premium Star Bright XLT optical coatings for exceptional views. It is the perfect electronic telescope to take you from intermediate to advanced levels.
