The Celestron 130mm Tabletop Dobsonian combines large-aperture reflector optics with a compact, portable design that's easy to set up and use. Its simple tabletop Dobsonian mount makes it a great choice for beginners and families, while the 130mm parabolic primary mirror delivers impressive views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
Large Aperture Reflector Optics
At the heart of the telescope is a 130mm (5") parabolic primary mirror that gathers over 345 times more light than the unaided human eye. The parabolic mirror design delivers sharp images with excellent contrast for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observing.
Explore mountains, craters, and rilles on the Moon, Jupiter's cloud bands and largest moons, Saturn's rings, and deep-sky targets like the Orion Nebula, Hercules Globular Cluster, and Andromeda Galaxy.
Stable and Easy-to-Use Tabletop Dobsonian Mount
Simply place the telescope on a sturdy outdoor table, picnic table, or similar elevated surface, and you're ready to observe. Smooth altitude and azimuth motion let you manually point the telescope anywhere in the sky and follow celestial objects as they move overhead.
The mount arrives largely assembled and requires minimal setup. Its compact footprint also makes the telescope easy to transport to darker observing locations and convenient to store between observing sessions.
Included Accessories
Everything you need to begin observing is included in the box. The 25mm eyepiece provides low-power, wide-field views for locating objects and observing larger targets, while the 10mm eyepiece provides higher magnification for closer views of the Moon and planets.
The included AAA-powered red dot finder helps you aim the telescope at your target. The Moon Filter reduces brightness for more comfortable lunar observing, while the Moon Map helps you identify prominent craters, maria, and other lunar features.
Capture images and video through the telescope's eyepiece with the included smartphone adapter. Attach your compatible smartphone to photograph the Moon, planets, and other bright celestial objects.
You'll also receive a download of Starry Night astronomy software, one of the premier astronomy programs available. Use it to explore a realistic simulation of the night sky, plan your next observing session, learn about celestial objects, and discover what's visible from your location before heading outside with your telescope.
Whether you're taking your first steps into astronomy or adding a portable reflector to your collection, the 130mm Tabletop Dobsonian delivers impressive performance, simple operation, and rewarding views of the universe.
