Celestron AstroMaster 130 EQ

A beginner and intermediate level telescope from the category of universal amateur models. It is based on the Newtonian reflector optical scheme with a 130 mm objective diameter and a focal length of 650 mm, making it a good choice for observing various night sky objects—from the Moon and planets to star clusters and even some nebulous objects if the observing conditions are sufficiently dark.

The Celestron AstroMaster 130 EQ telescope is equipped with an equatorial mount with manual adjustments, allowing precise targeting and tracking of objects as they move across the sky, but it requires the user to have a basic understanding of working with equatorial systems. This mount will be beneficial for those who want to master the basics of astronomical observations and understand the principles of coordinate navigation in the sky. Additionally, the package includes Starry Night Basic software, allowing observation planning and studying astronomy in an interactive form, which will be interesting and useful for beginners.
