NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope

The NexStar 130SLT is a new computerized telescope with a 130mm Newtonian reflector optical design. It includes a database of over 40,000 celestial objects and uses SkyAlign technology for fast alignment. The package comes with a pre-assembled adjustable steel tripod and a NexStar+ hand control for automatic slewing and tracking. Its compact form factor supports transport to dark sky sites for adults and children to use together.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This telescope suits observers who want a portable goto system with a 130mm aperture for solar system and deep-sky viewing. It fits users who value quick setup via SkyAlign and a database of 4,000+ objects including 600 galaxies and 300 clusters. Buyers who need more light-gathering power than the 130mm primary mirror provides should consider larger instruments. Those who require a different optical design or manual operation without computerized assistance should look at other models.

130mm aperture light-gathering

The 130mm primary mirror delivers 30% more light-gathering power than the 114mm model. This specification determines the brightness and resolution of planets, nebulae, and galaxies visible through the eyepiece. The aperture size directly limits the faintest objects you can detect and the detail you can resolve on solar system targets. Ensure the 130mm aperture matches your observing goals before purchase.

Questions about this item

What tripod comes with the 130SLT so I can set it up right away?

A pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod is included, letting you have the telescope ready to use in minutes.

Will my existing 2-inch eyepieces work with this 130mm Newtonian reflector?

Yes, the optical tube accepts 2-inch eyepieces, so your current ones will fit and function normally.

How do I confirm the SkyAlign alignment succeeded after centering three bright objects?

The hand control will indicate alignment success, and the telescope will then track and slew to any of the 4,000+ database objects accurately.
