Celestron NexStar 130SLT - 130 / 650mm Newton GoTo Telescope

NexStar SLT telescopes - automatic object adjustment

The new SLT series from Celestron offers the joy of astronomy from the beginning. The operation of the controller is very easy
and very accurate. To calibrate the devices in the sky, not even extensive knowledge of the starry sky is necessary. Just set three bright points of light - the rest is the controls.
The hand controller already offers switching to the respective national languages, such as German or French. The default is English. The first time you start, you will be asked for the language you can select.
The optics of the SLT telescopes will convince you from the beginning with good image quality.

Basics:

There are not only alternators in the car! :-)
Newton telescopes are considered (and are) basically high-powered telescopes. From f / 5 I define again as particularly bright. When observing the moon, we definitely recommend a filter to reduce the glare effect. - The moon reflects so much light that the light should be attenuated (especially at low magnification). Also note the dark adaptation of the eye. For example, if I want to observe deep sky objects after the moon, the adaptation of the eye takes a certain amount of time before I can perceive the much fainter ones again in detail.
And that brings us to the objects that such a Newton can show in abundance - visually and photographically!
Deep sky objects (ie galaxies, nebulae, star clusters ...) do not require a high magnification, but a corresponding light gathering power. For photography, this also means the shortest possible exposure time for a shot.
Planets (and moon) require a higher magnification and thus a Barlow lens ???? for focal length extension.
So with this device also beautiful details on the moon and planets can be seen! So you do not have to do without this field of application:
An (almost) all-rounder among the telescopes focusing on deep sky.


Due to the versatility of this telescope and the reasonable price, this device is also very interesting for school astronomy.



Celestron NexStar 130SLT 130 / 650mm GoTo Telescope
NexStar 130 SLT - GoTo Reflector 130 / 650mm

The Newton reflector is a light collector. The mirror with 130mm opening reflects thousands of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters with good contrast. But also moon and planets are presented with good sharpness performance. The telescope comes out without corrector lens.

The telescope is particularly compact, which benefits the stability and also the transport.

2 "focuser

A special feature in this class - the 2 "extension not only 1.25" eyepieces can be used (the adapter is included) but also 2 "eyepieces, so you get the ultimate overview.The WA 32 is under" recommended accessories "linked This will give you unforgettable wide-angle views into space.

Approximately 4,000 objects in the database

The software offers you a variety of objects, many of them (not all!) Are within the reach of the optics. Push the device slowly into the vastness of the universe, get to know star clusters, galaxies, planetary nebulae or feel at the resolution limit of the device at double stars ran.

Quick change device for the tube:

You can disconnect the tube from the mount with just one screw, which is ideal for transport. This makes the device much more compact. The quick-change device allows you to attach other devices or even cameras. You stay flexible.



Optical data:

- Opening: 130mm
- Opening ratio: f / 5
- Focal length: 650mm
- Fangspiegeldurchmesser: 40mm
- Meaningful magnification: about 22 times to about 200 times
- Resolution: approx. 0.9 seconds of arc

Sky Align - the very simple calibration in the starry sky

Sky Align is the name of Celestron's brand new alignment process. It is especially easy to use.

Step 1 ... Simply enter the date, time and location in the manual control box.
Step 2 ... Take the telescope to three bright stars (moon / planets are also possible)

You do not even need to know the three calibration objects, just put them in the middle and you're done - your NexStar is ready for observation. With relatively quiet servo motors, the device moves to the objects you want to observe. Of course, then the object is automatically tracked, so kept exactly in the middle of the eyepiece.

StarPointer delivery:

- Newton on GoTo mount with tripod
- 2 "focuser
- two good 1.25 "eyepieces
- Red dot finder "Starpointer" for centering the calibration stars (picture left)
