Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Telescope?
March 9th, 2010 | 
Author: Ive just been brought this telescope (Celestron NexStar 130 SLT), can any1 tell me if its any good, i havent had a chance to try it yet.
A 130 mm (5.1 inch) reflector is not a huge instrument, but with the NexStar attachment it is very usable. You should have over 4000 objects in the memory, which ought to keep you both satisfied and busy for a while. I assume it came with the 10 and 25 mm Kellner eyepieces. You’ll probably want to step up to a Barlow or Ploessl as you get experienced and wish to see things a bit better. As a starter telescope, it is an excellent choice for the money.
BTW, are you aware there is a naked eye comet just east of Perseus, mag +2.5?

Yes this is a nice scope but you will probably want some better eyepieces soon.
Enjoy your new scope!
