Celestron AstroMaster 130mm EQ Reflector Telescope (Smart Phone Adapter) Celestron

The Celestron AstroMaster 130mm EQ Reflector Telescope has a large lens which means it provides bright, clear images of the moon, planets, star clusters, and more for great nighttime viewing. Featuring the same design as another model in the Celestron range, this awesome telescope has one major difference – it also comes with a phone adapter and a barlow lens. 

This awesome reflector telescope is recommended by Sky at Night Magazine as the best beginner’s equatorial scope on the market.

You’ll be ready to observe in minutes thanks to the quick and easy no-tool setup.

Your AstroMaster mount comes with two slow motion control knobs that allow you to make fine pointing adjustments to the telescope in both Right Ascension and Declination axes, also referred to as RA and DEC.

Equiped with everything you need for observing, your AstroMaster from Celestron comes with a 20mm and 10mm eyepiece, and a finderscope. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications for low and high powered views. The 20mm has a built-in erect image corrector. In addition, the included barlow lens allows you to double the magnification of both eyepieces. The phone adapter allows you to capture images of the night sky with your smart phone.
