Discover the solar system and beyond with Celestron's AstroMaster 130EQ bundle! AstroMaster 130EQ's quick and easy no-tool setup will have you ready to observe in minutes. This dual-purpose telescope with erect image optics works for terrestrial viewing by day and stargazing by night. The telescope’s StarPointer red dot finderscope and German equatorial mount help with accurate alignment and smooth tracking of celestial objects so you can enjoy crisp, bright images of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more.
The bonus accessories in this bundle take your AstroMaster telescope to the next level. You receive four higher-quality eyepieces with different magnifications to choose from. A Moon filter helps block out the Moon's bright glare so you can enjoy enhanced lunar detail, while the two color filters (Red & Blue) bring out surface features on Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. And you won't just view these celestial wonders, you can capture your own images and videos of them, too! The included universal smartphone adapter attaches securely to the telescope's eyepiece to instantly share the view with friends and family.
