Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD 130mm f/5 Reflector Telescope

Description: Designed to observe and track near and deep-sky objects with a fast focal ratio for astrophotography/imaging, Celestron's AstroMaster 130EQ-MD 130mm f/5 Reflector Telescope features a 650mm focal length and a spherical mirror.The scope is outfitted with a 1.25 rack-and-pinion focuser and two eyepieces to get new users started: a 10mm that yields 65x power and a 20mm for a 32.5x magnification. The 20mm eyepiece integrates an erecting system to correct images horizontally and vertically to allow easy terrestrial use. An unmagnified red-dot finder is also included to help set-up, align and navigate easier.Its manual equatorial mount features a variable-speed Right Ascension motor drive system capable of working in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, with variable speed to accurately track fast-moving objects like the Moon and slower deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae. For alignment and easy navigation, dual slow-motion control cables are provided; and clearly visible indicators on the Right Ascension and Declination axes. An adjustable-height aluminum tripod rounds out the rig with a tray for accessories such as eyepieces, filters, and lights.Optical TubeLarge 130mm apertureFast f/5 focal ratio650mm focal lengthResolution: 1.07 arcsec, Rayleigh; 0.89 arcsec, Dawes1.25" rack-and-pinion focuserMount and TripodCG-3 Mount:Manual German equatorialVariable-speed Right Ascension motor drive accurately tracks near and deep sky objects, with proper polar alignmentDual slow-motion control cables enable fine adjustments with reduced vibrationsAltitude adjustment screws locks settingEtched Right Ascension and Declination scalesRemovable counterweight barTwo 4.8-pound counterweights to properly balance OTA and accessories for smooth movementDovetail plate enables fast assembly and break-downTripod:Adjustable-height1.25" diameter stainless steel legsTray to hold eyepieces, lights, and accessoriesSpiked feet add stability on uneven/soft groundIncluded AccessoriesEyepieces:1.25" diameter barrelAccepts most 1.25" astronomical filters10mm focal length produces 65x20mm focal length produces 32.5x20mm eyepiece has integrated prism to correct image horizontally and vertically for terrestrial useSkyPointer Finder:Unmagnified to make finding objects easier and star-hopping navigation fasterIlluminated red center aiming dot is easy to see without affecting night-adjusted vision
