Celestron - AstroMaster 130EQ 650mm German Equatorial Reflector Telescope - Orange/Blue
- Features
- Eye Relief: 50 millimeters (The maximum distance between the eyepiece lens and user's eye at which the full field of view can be seen.)
- Computerized Hand Control: false
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Reflector (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Electronic Red-Dot Projection Viewfinder: false (Locate astronomical objects more easily by using the electronic red-dot viewfinder, which shows unmagnified upright images. Wherever the telescope is pointed, a red dot or other symbol appears on the projection screen to help the user locate and focus on targets.)
- Indicator Light(s): false
- Mount Type: Manual German equatorial
- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Integrated Digital Camera: false
- Multi-Coated Optics: false (Multiple lens surfaces are coated and/or have multiple layers of thin films applied to each. Generally, more lens coatings provide higher levels of light transmission, contrast, and color clarity.)

- Material
- Material: Steel
- Performance
- Water Resistant: false (Resists some degree of water penetration.)
- Power
- Battery Quantity: 0
- Battery Size: Other (The battery size required for operation.)
- Exposure Control
- Focal Ratio: f/5 (Measurement of the device's optic "speed," calculated by dviding focal length by aperture. The smaller (faster) the f/number, the lower the magnification, wider the field of view, and brighter the image - good for low power observing and deep space photography. Larger (slower) f/numbers are better suited for high power lunar and planetary viewing.)
- Focal Length: 650 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
- Other
- Assembly Required: Yes
- UPC: 050234310451

Q: can i see the andromeda galaxy with this and Jupiter Saturn and Mars?
A: The AstroMaster 130EQ will reveal Jupiter's cloud belts, four of its brightest moons, Saturn's rings, and Mars' orange surface color during a favorable opposition. The telescope is also capable of revealing nebulae and galaxies, but these fainter objects are best seen from a dark sky location away from city light pollution.
Q: Does it come assembled or can we have the store assemble it for a fee?
A: The AstroMaster 130EQ German Equatorial Reflector Telescope comes unassembled in its box. A Quick-Setup Guide is included for easy set up.
Q: is this a good telescope for taking picture?
A: For basic lunar, planetary, or terrestrial picture taking, the AstroMaster 130EQ will do just fine. However, for more in-depth, long exposure astrophotography, a computerized, go-to (with tracking) German Equatorial Mount model is recommended. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
Q: Does a smartphone mount come with this scope
A: no it does not.
