The 130 SLT, like the other models in the SLT series, comes with a fully automated digital controller. The digital controller allows you to target any of the 4,000+ objects it contains, including more than 600 galaxies, 300 clusters, and dozens of beautiful double stars. With the pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 130 SLT is set up and ready for use in just a few minutes. The new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included Star Pointer finder with red LED make alignment a breeze.

See the details of the lunar surface, the rings of Saturn, the polar caps of Mars, the cloud bands on Jupiter, or some of the Messier objects, such as the globular cluster in Hercules (M31) or the Orion Nebula (M42). Start exploring some of the fainter Messier objects using the additional light-gathering capability of the 130 SLT's primary mirror.
Thanks to the Newtonian design, the mirror provides a fully color-corrected image, making it ideal for astronomical use.
The popular NexStar series
Designed as affordable automated GoTo telescopes for entry to mid-level users, the NexStar SLT (Star Locating Telescopes), refractors and reflectors, are available in the most popular sizes and equipped with interesting design features. With a pre-assembled, adjustable stainless steel tripod and quick-release fork arms and tubes, the NexStar SLT telescopes can be set up in just a few minutes – without any tools! You can see details on the surface of the Moon, Venus and its phases, Mars as an orange disk, Jupiter and its four large moons, Saturn and its rings clearly, and much more! Most NexStar SLT (especially the refractors) can also be used as spotting scopes for observing terrestrial subjects.
Smart Design
Powered by 8 AA batteries (not included) or an optional 12V power adapter, these NexStar GoTo telescopes love to travel. The built-in battery compartment powers the high-precision servo motors ensuring smooth operation with minimal vibrations, while simultaneously eliminating the cable wrap issues that occur when using external battery packs.
Ergonomically designed controller
With the ergonomically designed NexStar controller, the user is free to remove the controller from its holder to use it remotely, or leave it in place to have their hands free. With the touch of a button, you can choose from the catalog of over 4,000 objects, change the rotation speed, view interesting information about an object, or simply find out if a certain object is visible in the sky.
Alignment with SkyAlign Technology
You simply point the telescope at three bright objects in the sky and the telescope will tell you what those objects are. You don't need to know the names of the stars – in fact, you can even choose planets or the Moon! SkyAlign is the easiest method to align a robotic telescope. It is most suitable for beginners, while providing the convenience and accuracy that more advanced users require.
