Celestron Telescope N 130/650 Astromaster EQ

Celestron Telescope N 130/650 Astromaster EQ is a powerful beginner and hobby telescope that lets you explore the moon and planets as well as bright deep-sky objects. With a mirror diameter of 130 mm, this Newton reflector captures significantly more light than smaller entry-level models, making details more visible and more celestial objects accessible. Thanks to its short focal length of 650 mm, the telescope offers a relatively large field of view, ideal for observing nebulae and star clusters.

The telescope is equipped with an LED finder that helps you find objects quickly. Through the 1.25″ focuser, you use different eyepieces to choose the right magnification. The optical tube is mounted on the CG-2 parallactic mount, which allows you to accurately track objects in the sky. Flexible axes and adjustment scales allow for precise manual movements. A tracking motor can be added later for added convenience.

The stable steel tripod is height adjustable and equipped with an accessory tray, so you always have eyepieces and filters within easy reach. Thanks to its simple tool-free assembly, the telescope is quickly ready to use, making it attractive to anyone who wants to look beyond the moon.

Application
This telescope allows you to see the moon in detail, including numerous craters and mountain ranges. Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons are clearly visible. In favorable conditions, the polar caps of Mars can also be discerned. Thanks to the 130 mm aperture and short focal length, you can also admire the Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Nebula and open clusters such as the Pleiades. Fainter galaxies require an even larger aperture, but for a telescope in this class, the Astromaster 130/650 EQ offers a wide range of possibilities.
