The Celestron NexStar 130SLT is a computerized telescope that offers a database of more than 4,000 stars, galaxies, nebulae, and more. The telescope locates your object with pinpoint accuracy and tracks it. At the heart of the telescope’s Newtonian reflector optical design, a large 130mm primary mirror gives fully color-corrected views ideal for astronomical use. The 130SLT comes with a fully computerized NexStar+ 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. This telescope for adults and kids to be used together is ideal for weekend camping trips or excursions to dark sky sites. Its compact form factor makes it easy to transport and assemble just about anywhere. With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 130SLT can be up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. Our SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED make aligning a breeze. Simply center any three bright objects in the eyepiece and the NexStar SLT aligns to the night sky, ready to locate thousands of objects. The NexStar 130SLT Computerized GoTo Telescope also includes a free download of our Starry Night Basic Edition astronomy software for an interactive sky simulation. The power of this computerized telescope allows you to view the details of the lunar surface, the rings of Saturn, the polar ice caps on Mars, the cloud belts on Jupiter, and a number of the Messier objects, such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M13) or the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). Explore some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capabilities of the 130SLT’s five-inch primary mirror.

Can the red spot, bands and rings be clearly resolved?** A: The rings can be seen on Saturn, the bands on Jupiter, and the Great Red Spot. You can make out the reddish hue on Mars, but don't expect to see the ice caps. On a clear night you can see this items fairly clearly. The moon has some excellent detail in it, but that's not too difficult to achieve. You can also view some star clusters nicely as well. The Great Red Spot "can" be resolved if you have a sharp enough focus and clear enough night. The double cluster looks fantastic. **Q: Hi, I have been able to see Mars today but could not get any details. How can I focus more? I have all the kits with me.** A: Details on planets depend on several things: Telescope alignment, quality of eyepieces, distance to the planet, and the planet itself.If you don't have a laser collimator, get one. They are well worth the $50-$70. While the secondary on this scope will stay very nicely in place, the primary (being heavier among other things) will need regular alignment and a laser collimator makes this less than a 5 minute job.The eyepieces that come with this scope aren't the best. If you want to do decent planetary viewing, get a good 6mm eyepiece. (Expect to spend at least $100, and read reviews from users to get the best bang for your buck.)While you'll get some good views of Saturn and Venus, and some really excellent views of Jupiter, Mars (and Mercury) generally don't show much detail. Further, right now, Mars is a great distance away from us and getting farther away each day. Every planet will give the best views when it is closest to us with Mars and Venus showing the biggest improvements when closest.When a planet rises at sunset, it is closest, or at "opposition." This also puts the plent highest above the horizonn around midnight, but gives good views starting around 9 PM.Your best view of Mars will come again on May 22, 2016. Jupiter Feb 6th, 2015, and Saturn on May 23rd, 2015. But note even then, Mars will not yield much detail beyand a distinctly orange disk and a definite whiteish area at the pole.When searching for eyepieces, you might also want to investigate a good 14-16mm eyepiece plus a 10% transmission filter for really great lunar views!For solar/sunspot viewing, you will need a special filter that fits over the front of the telescope tube. **Q: Has Celestron fixed the problem of needing to reset the clock each time the telescope is turned off yet? RonR** A: You can avoid this by either spending $99 extra on Celestron's wifi module, or by tethering the handset through its USB plug to a laptop. Then you can save some time on setup by syncing your local time and GPS location to the scope on startup, with the added advantage of using planetarium software like SkySafari to select 10x more targets with a point and click. Basically controlling your scope with the laptop or phone. **Q: What do you consider must have accessories for this scope? I have the moon filter.** A: A laser collimator. It'll help to make sure your mirrors are aligned. It's pretty easy to do. Look on Youtube for "Collimating your Newtonian" to see how it's done. You'll usually want to check it before each viewing as they can get out of alignment with bumps. If your mirrors are out of alignment, things will get blurry.The Orion Shorty Barlow is a good accessory too if you don't want to buy extra eyepieces. It'll effectively double your eyepieces (turns your 9mm into a 4.5mm and your 25mm into a 12.5mm). Better eyepieces will make it a better scope as well. Superplossls are much better than what's included. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron - NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope - Compact and Portable - Newtonian Reflector Optical Design - SkyAlign Technology - Computerized Hand Control - 130mm Aperture Grey - Celestron 14 Piece Telescope Accessory Kit - Plossl Eyepieces, Barlow Lens, Colored Filters, Moon Filter, and Sturdy Carry Case - AC Adapter Power Cord for Telescopes – Delivers 2A @ 12 VDC – Ideal for LCM, SkyProdigy, Advanced VX, & NexStar SLT/SE – Eliminates The Need for Batteries - Includes International Plugs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/638131526-nexstar-130slt](https://www.desertcart.at/products/638131526-nexstar-130slt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
