Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ Newtonian Telescope with Phone Adapter & T-Adapter/Barlow Lens
Discover our Solar System with the Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ. With its quick and easy no-tool setup, you’ll be ready to observe in just minutes. The 130EQ delivers bright, clear views of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more, making it an excellent choice for exciting nighttime observations.
Manual German Equatorial Telescope
The AstroMaster mount features two slow-motion control knobs that allow precise pointing adjustments along both the Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (DEC) axes for accurate tracking of celestial objects.
Accessories Included
This telescope includes a 20mm and 10mm eyepiece, smartphone adapter, T-Adapter/Barlow lens, and a finderscope. The two eyepieces provide both low- and high-power viewing options. The 20mm eyepiece features a built-in erect image corrector for correctly oriented views.
The included Barlow & T-Adapter can be used as a 2X Barlow lens right out of the box. Simply insert any 1.25” eyepiece into the chamber to double the magnification while retaining the full eye relief of the eyepiece.
Smartphone Adapter
Capture images of celestial or terrestrial objects using the included smartphone adapter. Its lightweight yet rigid frame allows you to attach most smartphones to any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 34mm. The eyepiece magnification enables your phone to capture impressive views of the Moon and planets. Installation is quick and easy–place your smartphone over the eyepiece and tighten the knobs to secure it. Most phones fit with their case on, though very large or bulky cases may need to be removed.

☀️ 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.
