Solar Warning
  • Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
  • Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
  • Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.

Explore the night sky and share the view with the Celestron AstroMaster 130AZ Telescope Bundle. This complete astronomy kit includes everything you need to start observing and capturing images through the eyepiece with your smartphone.


Whether you're observing from the backyard or taking the telescope on a camping trip, the AstroMaster 130AZ is easy to set up and transport. Its manual alt-azimuth mount is simple to operate, so you can spend less time setting up and more time exploring the sky.


By night, the AstroMaster 130AZ's large 130mm reflector optics gather more light for brighter, more detailed views. Explore the rings of Saturn, Jupiter and its Galilean moons, craters and mountain ranges on the Moon, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy. The larger aperture makes the 130AZ a great choice for observers who want to explore farther beyond the Moon.

 

Manual Alt-Azimuth Telescope
Navigate the sky with the AstroMaster 130AZ's intuitive alt-azimuth mount. The smooth manual controls allow for easy pointing and tracking as objects move across the sky. Like a photographic tripod, the mount moves up/down and left/right, making it simple to locate and follow celestial objects in the eyepiece.

 

AstroMaster Bundle Accessories
This AstroMaster Bundle includes several accessories to enhance your observing experience. The included AAA-powered red dot finder helps you quickly align the telescope and locate objects in the night sky. The Moon Filter reduces glare and improves contrast when observing the lunar surface, while the Moon Map helps you identify and learn about prominent lunar features.

You'll also receive two 1.25" eyepieces, a 20mm and a 10mm, to provide different magnification options for a variety of observing targets. Start with the 20mm eyepiece to locate and frame objects, then switch to the 10mm eyepiece for a closer look at lunar details and planetary features. The 20mm erect-image eyepiece also provides correctly oriented views for daytime observing.

Smartphone Adapter 
Capture images and video through the telescope's eyepiece with the included smartphone adapter. Its adjustable design accommodates most smartphones and attaches directly to the eyepiece, making it easy to capture lunar and planetary views and share your observations.
