Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The popularity of our NexStar 114 models inspired us to go bigger! We are proud to introduce NexStar 130 SLT. The NexStar 130 SLT has 30% more light-gathering power than our 114mm telescope.
And the 130 SLT, like the other models in the SLT Series, comes with a fully computerized hand control. The computerized hand control gives you the ability to automatically slew to any of its 4,000+ objects, including over 600 galaxies, 300 clusters and dozens of beautiful binary stars. With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 114 SLT can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze.
View the details of the lunar surface, the rings of Saturn, the polar ice caps on Mars, the cloud belts on Jupiter or a number of the Messier objects such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M13), or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). Begin to explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capabilities of the 130 SLT’s 5" primary mirror.
Because of the Newtonian design, the mirror gives fully color-corrected views that are best suited for astronomical use.

I recently purchased the Celestron Nexstar 130SLT and I am more than happy with my purchase! The quality of the scope and mount is excellent and the 'go-to SkyALign' mount is a breeze to set up; simply input your local time, date etc.. and aim the 'starpointer' at any three bright stars or objects in the sky (even the moon can be used for this)and thats it!! This worked first time for me and I was using the 'tour' feature within minutes! The on-board computer has thousands of sky objects in its database and is a marvelous feature.
The two lenses that come with the scope are of a good quality especially the 9mm eyepiece. I would however recommend investing at some point in the Celestron eyepiece kit which has several better quality lenses as well as a Barlow x2 and several colour filters and a Moon filter, however the two eyepieces that come included here are more than adequate to start off with.

I am delighted with the telescope. The images are perfctly clear, and the finder scope is very easy to set up and use. The one drawback I have encountered is the fully computerized hand control. The instuctions are, in places, very poorly translated from an oriental language and are difficult to make sense of. they also seem to not be as complete as they could be.
I have only had two observing sessions, and I have yet to be able to align the scope with the computer hand control. After alignment, when I slew to the next object, the alignment is considerably out.
I contacted Celestron, and they e-mailed me and said to basically do what I had already done!
Admitedly, because I have not been too well, I have not yet had another chance to align the scope, so here's hoping next time will be better.
Also, I am not beginner in astronomy or computers, so I don't think the fault is mine. I will update my review when I am able to try again.
Finally, the scope itself is very good, especially for the price.
