The Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD features a 130mm (5.1") primary mirror with aluminum and SiO₂ coatings that deliver bright, clear views of planets, lunar craters, and galaxies. The sturdy German equatorial mount with slow-motion control knobs enables precise manual adjustments in right ascension and declination for smooth object tracking. The included right ascension motor drive automatically compensates for Earth's rotation, tracking a star's movement through the night sky from east to west, making it an excellent choice for visual observing and astrophotography. Weighing just 17 lb (7.71 kg), this telescope is easy to transport and set up, making it ideal for beginners and intermediate astronomers seeking both planetary and deep-sky viewing.
