Its 5.1" diameter is considered excellent for light collection. When you are looking for faint sky objects such as clusters and nebulae, large aperture becomes relevant. A 650mm f/5 aperture is considered really bright in optical terms, and offers a

field of view. In order to take full advantage of the telescope's short focal length and wide field of view, the user may consider the purchase of a longer eyepiece than the standard 20mm for viewing galaxies. The AstroMaster 130 features coated glass optics, and is capable of producing clear and bright images of the moon and the planets. This unit comes with a German equatorial mount, a quick dovetail attachment, and a rugged, pre-assembled tripod for your convenience. Quick and easy no-tool setup Permanently mounted StarPointer Erect image optics ideal for terrestrial and astronomical use Quick release dovetail attachment German equatorial mount with setting circles to accurately locate celestial objects Rugged, pre-assembled tripod with 1.25" steel tube legs provides a stable platform All coated glass optics for clear, crisp images Deluxe accessory tray for convenient storage of accessories The Sky Level 1 planetarium software with 10,000 object database and images What's in the box Optical tube Tripod and mount (preassembled) 20mm eyepiece with built-in erect image corrector Standard 10mm eyepiece Red-dot finderscope Manual
