About this deal

Celestron’s innovative NexStar Star Location Telescope (SLT) has been a customer favorite for years thanks to its unique combination of high-quality optics, a user-friendly computerized interface, and a sturdy single fork arm mount. Although, after you’ve had an ample amount of time with the telescope, you may be looking for an upgrade. Well it definitely sounds by now to be a warranty job unless anyone else has a better idea but as a last ditched stand, I'll paraphrase that section of Mike's book for you. The 114 SLT uses a "barlow" lens which is mounted at the base of the focusser. This gives it a longer effective focal length (1000 mm)than the short tube would suggest. One result is that the angular field that could be viewed will be smaller than with the 130SLT using 1.25mm eyepieces. I suspect that it will not be able to take 2" eyepieces either as the 130 SLT can. I have viewed through a similar optical tube and it was better than I expected. I would tend to favour the 130 SLT as it will be somewhat more versatile, but if the offer is very good then I believe you will be happy with it.

Product Specification

With its high-quality 130 mm reflector and fully computerized Altazimuth mount, this telescope offers a clear and detailed view of celestial bodies. Its primary mirror, just over 5 inches in size, enables you to observe even faint objects such as the Orion Nebula or star clusters. Variable Stars: Select list of the brightest variable stars with the shortest period of changing magnitude Just point it on the tree or something as a reference and adjust the LED dot with the small knobs until you see the same image in the finder and the eyepiece. It can be frustrating to align it at night, so don’t forget to do it earlier. The ability to feel each button is a massive advantage at night when you are trying to control the telescope in the dark, and you can feel different shapes of the buttons, so you don’t accidentally press the wrong button. While the telescope’s Go To function may not always be 100% accurate, you can easily make manual adjustments to ensure precise viewing. The focuser, although poorly engineered, can be adjusted with set screws to minimize any play.

Or you can use a Barlow lens that will double or triple the magnification provided with each eyepiece, but it will slightly decrease the quality of the image. If you’re looking for an astrophotography telescope, I’ve said that this telescope should not be one of your primary options. However, if you’re just a hobbyist astronomy observer, it fits most of your needs.

A: The Celestron NexStar 130 SLT is relatively portable, with the telescope tube weighing around 17 pounds and the mount weighing around 11 pounds. It can be easily transported to different observing locations. Q: What is included with the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT? The entire telescope kit is a simple, no-tool assembly and fast SkyAlign alignment procedure will have you ready to observe in minutes. This makes NexStar 130SLT your perfect companion for impromptu observing sessions and all-night stargazing marathons alike. The Celestron NexStar 130 SLT features a high-quality 130 mm Newtonian reflector, which allows for clear and detailed views of celestial objects. The telescope comes with two eyepieces, but additional eyepieces, including a Barlow lens, may be needed for optimal viewing. The eyepiece holder fits 2-inch eyepieces and is ready assembled, making it convenient and easy to change eyepieces.
