Celestron 31145 NexStar 130SLT Portable Computerised Newtonian Reflector Telescope, Grey

Product Information

A: With the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT, you can see a wide variety of celestial objects, including the moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. The telescope’s 25mm eyepiece provides a good balance of magnification and field of view. Q: How does the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT align?

You’ll find that both offer a decent viewing experience, but this is another where the 130 SLT takes the cake. The wide field of view and large, but not huge, aperture of the Celestron NexStar 130SLT make it good for looking at large deep-sky objects like open star clusters like M11 and M45. You’ll also have no trouble viewing the Orion Nebula or the Swan, resolving a few stars in bright globular clusters, and spotting a few planetary nebulae like the Ring and Dumbbell. Most galaxies will remain little more than fuzzy blobs, though a few, such as M31 and M82, might show dust lanes. Keep in mind, however, that if maximum image brightness and detail are your goals, dark skies and aperture rule over all else. The 130SLT will struggle to show you much in the way of deep-sky views if you live in a city beyond the brightest star clusters.Mirrorless Cameras Canon EOS-R Mirrorless Cameras Fujifilm X Mirrorless Cameras Nikon Z Cameras Sony Alpha Cameras Panasonic Lumix S Cameras Panasonic Lumix G Cameras Olympus OM-D & PEN Cameras Canon EOS-M Mirrorless Cameras Sigma Mirrorless Cameras

I have been in Mid-Wales, one of the darkest sky areas in the UK but, sadly, though sunny in the daytime it was cloudy every night. I have no internet access there.

SkyAlign allows you to align on any three bright celestial objects, making for a fast and easy alignment process All in all, I’ve had a lot of pleasure using the SLT 130 and I would consider it a good scope for the beginner or someone who may not be ready for the cost of a better setup. Small rapid vibrations. This is a hard one! I have a feeling that it was more obvious when the scope was on concrete than when on grass. The soil probably acts like those anti vibration pads that one can buy. I will try some experiments and see if I can find a way of damping them. It is not too much of a problem. All my other scopes are quite heavy for their size and I have not seen this "rapid, small vibration shimmer" before. Image Quality: The 130mm reflector and fully computerized Altazimuth mount of the telescope contribute to good image quality. With proper alignment and adjustments, you can expect clear and detailed views of celestial objects.

I took about 50 pictures with different exposures and Iso value just for testing settings for the real session. Others have said that rechargeables don't have enough juice. You found they worked well. Were you using regular 1.5 volt NiMH ones? How long a session can they sustain? You’ll need to enter the country and city you’re in. You’ll also be required to input the date and local time. You’ll enter all these through the numeric computerized hand control.

Firstly though, from an aside section the book, it tells us that the 60/80/114/4 (there was no 130cm OTA then) can be moved in azimuth by hand. I don't know if this is still applicable. There’s no question that the 127 SLT is more than satisfactory for many people, but if you’re looking for an all-encompassing view, the 130 SLT is the better option. Price High-Quality Optics: The NexStar 130 SLT provides excellent image quality and a wide field of view with its 130 mm reflector and 2-inch eyepiece holder. The large mirror size allows for greater light-gathering capabilities, making it easier to observe faint objects in the night sky. The telescope also offers adjustable magnification, allowing you to zoom in on specific details of celestial objects. How far roughly does the base move when it does and do you have to go to the highest speed (9) on the HC to make it move at all or are there different effects at the lower (noticeable) speed settings ?
