Celestron

Celestron's Astro Fi 130mm f/5 Reflector Telescope utilizes an integrated antenna to emit a local WiFi signal so you can control the mount via Android and iOS smartphones and tablets running their free SkyPortal app.Optically, the scope sports a large 130mm aperture and a short 650mm focal length to produce a fast focal ratio that can resolve deep sky objects that smaller refractor-style scopes cannot, such as splitting binary stars or separating star clusters. With highly-reflective aluminum and SiO2 (quartz) mirror coatings, light loss is limited so you can make detailed observations of the Moon, view planets and distant nebulae, and get great wide-field views of the sky for comet watching and asteroid hunting. This complete observation rig includes the optical tube assembly, a motorized mount, an aluminum tripod, two eyepieces, and a red-dot finder.The OTA is mounted on a single-arm motorized alt-az mount. Guiding the mount is the SkyPortal app. Packed with over 120,000 objects it is designed to help users set up quickly and start observing faster. The app offers align aids, can automatically find objects in the night sky; and even offers guided tours of the most interesting objects overhead on any given night. The mount runs on eight user-supplied AA batteries, and the entire rig assembles and breaks down without the need for tools so set up is easy and you can start observing sooner.Optical Performance 130mm aperturef/5 focal ratio650mm focal lengthNewtonian reflector optical designHighly reflective aluminum/SiO2 (silicon dioxide) mirror coatings limits light loss for brighter imagesResolution: 1.07 arcsec, Rayleigh; 0.89 arcsec Dawes Limit1.25" rack-and-pinion focuserComputer Control Integrated WiFi:Directly connects to tablet or smartphoneControl mount via free SkyPortal app for Android and iOSAndroid 4.0 and higher, iOS 6 or laterSkyPortal App:120,000+ object databaseIncludes: Star clusters, Nebulae, Galaxies, Asteroids and comets, Satellites, including the International Space StationCustom SkyTour of all the best celestial objects to view based on the time, date, and locationSimulate the night sky up to 100 years in the past, or plan a future observing sessionNight Vision Mode preserves night-adjusted visionMultiple assisted-alignment choices: SkyAlign, 3-Star, Solar SystemTracking rates: Sidreal, solar, and lunar; Automatic tracking for near and deep sky objectsMultiple slew speeds; 3 /sec maximumView hundreds of astronomical photographs and NASA spacecraft imagesListen to more than four hours of audio narration to learn the history, mythology, and science of astronomy and the night skyMount & Tripod Mount:Motorized single-arm alt-azRuns on eight user-supplied AA batteriesQuick-release base, OTA, accessory tray with rapid no-tool set upTripod:Adjustable-heightLightweight and durable 2-section aluminum legsSpiked feet for steady footing in soft groundIncluded Accessories Smartphone Digiscoping Adapter:Front cap converts into a smartphone holder to capture photos and video through the eyepieces with just about any phoneBungee cords hold the phone safely and securely in place, no matter where the phone's camera is locatedInside of cap has a holder that fits over standard 1.25" eyepieceA small door on cap can be closed when cap is installed on front to prevent dust from entering and opened for digiscopingEyepieces:1.25" barrel diameter25mm produces 26x magnification10mm produces 65x magnificationAccepts most 1.25" astronomical eyepiece filtersStarPointer Finderscope:1x magnificationRed dot reticleVariable intensityUn-magnified field of view makes set up and alignment faster
