Discover our Solar System with the Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD Telescope.You'll be ready to observe in minutes thanks to the quick and easy no-tool setup. Then enjoy bright, clear images of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more for great nighttime viewing.Manual German Equatorial Telescope The AstroMaster mount comes with two slow motion control knobs that allow you to make fine pointing adjustments to the telescope in both Right Ascension and Declination axes, also referred to as RA and DEC. Accessories Included The AstroMaster 130EQ comes with 20mm and 10mm eyepieces, a finderscope, and a motor drive. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications for low and high powered views. The 20mm has a built-in erect image corrector. Motor Drive Convert into a tracking mount by adding the included RA motor drive to your telescope. It's easy to install and automatically compensates for the Earth's rotation, so the telescope tracks a star's movement through the night sky from east to west. When the telescope mount is properly polar aligned and the RA drive is attached and running, the user need only make occasional adjustments in declination (Dec) to keep an object in the eyepiece for long periods of time. The Celestron single-axis motor drive runs on a 9V battery, so there are no cords to get in the way. You can also change the speed of the motor using the Speed Rate Regulator knob. Since solar system objects such as the Moon and planets move through the sky at different rates than deep-sky objects do, this gives you the ability to match the motor's speed to the particular type of object you are observing. Starry Night Software Your purchase includes a FREE download of Celestron's Starry Night. This powerful software will help you learn about the night sky, celestial objects, and how to plan your next observing session.
