Details

If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ MD Reflector Telescope w/ Motor Drive is for you. The AstroMaster 130 EQ, like all telescopes in the AstroMaster series, is capable of giving correct views of land and sky. It has a 650mm focal length and produces bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It's easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with this fine instrument. Because of its larger aperture and light gathering ability, this Newtonian reflector telescope can also provide views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae.

The AstroMaster 130EQ is equipped with a permanently mounted StarPointer Finderscope that lets you keep track of the stars, and a German Equatorial Mount with Setting Circles helps you accurately locate and track sky objects. It features all glass optical elements, as well as smooth operating steel tripod mountings with manual motion controls. Coated optics offer enhanced image brightness and clarity.

Telescope good, packaging good, instruction manual atrocious. - Review by Tim Hamilton
Overall Score
Outer carton showed signs of damage, but the telescope was well packaged enough to not be damaged.
Instruction manual is very poor with too many words and not enough diagrams. Thank goodness for Youtube. A 3 minute clip on balancing, sorted out the confusion after 10 minutes of trying to figure out the manual.

Telescope itself is good quality. Now we just need a clear night to be able to look at some stars. (Posted on 18/12/11)

Great service, very quick delivery, 2 days. Easy to use; having lots of fun learning and sharing with grandaughter. - Review by Karen Buckley
Overall Score
Ordered scope on the Thurs. night and it arrived on the Monday morning (we are interstate) Packaging was excellent and still in perfect condition on delivery. Found instructions for set up easy to understand; we have never used a telescope before but were able to view Jupitor on our first night. What a great thing to share with my 9 year old grandaughter. Thanks OzScopes. (Posted on 27/09/10)

I will do this again - Review by Alan Whitefield
Overall Score
too early to comment on product as such, however delivery time was most prompt , no damage, even to packaging. The scope is more impressive in construction and quality than the web site would lead one to think.

I'm sold thanks.
