Schmidt-Cassegrain power, controlled from your phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Celestron Astro Fi 5<\/strong> combines a compact design with serious performance. The 127 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain with a 1250 mm focal length delivers high magnification for detailed Moon and planetary work, in a tube that is shorter and lighter than any classic refractor or Newtonian with the same specifications. Operation is completely managed via the free SkyPortal app on your smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 120,000 objects in the app<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With SkyAlign you align on three bright objects and the computer automatically recognizes your position. Afterwards, the SkyPortal app gives access to a database of more than 120,000 celestial bodies: tap, and the GoTo mount slews to it with automatic tracking. The telescope's own WiFi signal works everywhere, even without an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closed SCT optics with growth potential<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The corrector plate seals the tube against dust and airflow. With the 25 mm eyepiece, you view at 50x; realistically usable is up to about 254x. The rear accepts standard SCT threads, so T-adapters and cameras will fit directly later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For whom yes, for whom no<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Good: anyone looking for premium closed optics in a portable, fully app-controlled package, with an emphasis on the Moon and planets. Not: anyone who wants to view wide nebula fields; choose the fast Astro Fi 130 with its wide f\/5 field of view instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's in the box?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
