Astromaster 130 EQ

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

More about the series Astromaster...

This instrument is a very nice, extremely well made beginner's telescope. The high quality of the optical elements employed offers an unusually sharp, high-contrast image for this class of telescope. The permanently mounted red dot finder allows you to quickly and easily find object you wish to observe. The 1.25" rack and pinion focuser lets you smoothly adjust the focus. The telescope is ideal for the natural watching and terrestrial observing as well as for astronomical applications such as lunar and planetary observing. The OTA fixes onto the mount using the usual dovetail rail. The instrument can be completely assembled within a few minutes, without any specialist knowledge and without needing any tools.

Included in delivery with the telescope:

• Celestron N 130/650 OTA with 130mm aperture and 650mm focal length

• 1.25", 20mm and 10mm eyepieces

• red dot finder

• dovetail mounting rail

• 'The Sky level 1' software CD

The Celestron CG-3 mount:

This parallactic mount is sufficient for telescopes of up to approx. 5 kg total weight. Setting-circles on both axes allow the manual fine adjustment via sensitive flexible slow motion controls. In contrast to the slightly smaller CG-2 mount, both axes here equally robust and equipped with the same high-quality fine adjustment. The height-adjustable and completely preassembled tripod has tubular steel legs of 1.25" diameter and supports the mount and telescope stably and vibration-free. You can keep all your important accessories on the tray provided and so always have them close at hand. A motor for automatic tracking can be retrofitted to the right ascension axis, and is already included with the Astromaster MD models.

Included with the mount:

• CG-3 parallactic mount

• height-adjustable tubular steel tripod

• accessory tray
