Description
Celestron NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope is a smart and easy way to explore the wonders of the night sky. It features a high-quality 130mm reflector telescope that can capture bright and sharp images of the moon, planets, stars, and more. It also has a user-friendly computerized system that can automatically locate and track over 4,000 celestial objects with the push of a button.
You don’t need any tools to set up this telescope. Just attach the optical tube to the mount, extend the tripod legs, and connect the hand control. Then, use the SkyAlign technology to align the telescope with any three bright objects in the sky. Within minutes, you’ll be ready to enjoy the view.
Celestron NexStar 130SLT Computerized Telescope comes with everything you need to start observing right away. It includes a stainless-steel tripod, a quick-release fork arm, a NexStar+ hand control, two eyepieces, a star pointer finderscope, and an accessory tray.

Whether you want to see the craters of the moon, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter, or the Orion Nebula, the NexStar 130SLT will help you discover the beauty and mystery of the universe. It’s also a great telescope for terrestrial viewing, such as wildlife or scenery. With the NexStar 130SLT, you’ll have a versatile and powerful instrument that will inspire you to look up and explore.
The Mount & Technologies
Computerized AltAzimuth Mount – The NexStar SLT telescope features a single fork arm altazimuth mount, which allows the telescope to track the desired objects as they appear to move across the night sky. The mount sits on a pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod.
NexStar+ Hand Control – This computerized hand control enables you to automatically slew to any of 40,000 celestial objects with the push of a button. The NexStar+ database includes more than 600 galaxies, 300 clusters and dozens of beautiful binary stars. Not sure what to observe? Choose the Sky Tour feature and the NexStar+ hand control will automatically generate a list of all the best celestial objects currently visible based on your exact time and location.
SkyAlign Technology – Our proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure makes setting up and using a computerized telescope faster and easier than ever before. Point the telescope at three bright objects in the sky, and the telescope can triangulate its position and locate any other object in the sky automatically. You don’t need to know the names of the stars—you can even pick the Moon or bright planets!
Power– Go anywhere! Feel free to enjoy your NexStar SLT in remote dark sky locations—it’s powered by 8 AA batteries (not included) or a PowerTank portable battery (sold separately). The internal battery compartment provides power to the high precision servo motors for rigid low-vibration performance while eliminating cord wrap issues associated with external battery packs. You may also power your telescope with a 12V AC adapter (sold separately).
Accessories Included
Your telescope includes a StarPointer™ red dot finderscope, a star diagonal, and two eyepieces (25mm and 9mm). The two eyepieces offer different magnifications for low- or high-powered observing. The star diagonal provides a right-side-up view and a more comfortable viewing angle when looking up at the sky. The StarPointer™ red dot finderscope will help you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing.
NexStar 130SLT is ready to grow with you as you become a more experienced amateur astronomer. It’s compatible with all Celestron’s latest accessories, including StarSense AutoAlign, SkyPortal WiFi module, and PowerTank Lithium.
Starry Night Software
Your purchase includes a FREE download of Celestron’s Starry Night. This powerful software will help you learn about the night sky, celestial objects, and how to plan your next observing session. Celestron Starry Night is the premier astronomy software package on the market, providing resources and knowledge to view our solar system and beyond.
