I bought this for my husband for Christmas. Nice scope; but when you look in, everything is upside down & no way to change it. It's just the way they are.

Review 2 for Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Computerized Newtonian Telescope
Out of the box setup is really easy, but fully using the features can take some time. You get two eye pieces- 9mm and 25mm. So really buying a telescope this size you might want to buy more eye pieces. With the telescope and eye pieces the price can start adding up, but really considering how much you would use this it's worth the buy. Celestron's website has all the specs and images taken with the telescope.

Had telescope years ago. Kids are gone now and time to enjoy. We are adding extras as we see fit. The first time set up was shakey. The second set-up went smooth and directed the scope at all the sights we wanted to see that night. Good scope

Review 4 for Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Computerized Newtonian Telescope
My boyfriend is very much into the stars...and was looking for a computer telescope. He found one around $400.00, and was going to get it, until I found this one... This telecope IS more powerful, has better handeling and much easier to use. And best of all...cost LOTS less!! a good $50.00 less. and that was even before my discount. He is very happy and pleased with the telescope!!!

Wow, this is a fabulous telescope, easy to set up and a great view. The moon looked as though I could reach and touch it. The details were amazing. I love my new telescope and I know it will give me pleasure for years. A very lovely way to spend your evenings gazing at the heavens, highly recommended.

Area to bright to use telescope

There is to much light in the sky to make use of the telescope . The telescope would be better if I live in a darker area, i.e. Northern PA. Buyer should be aware of the night sky brightness, the darker the better.

Incredible images. The moon especially jumps out at you. Light gathering ability of this telescope is very good. It was very easy to set up and start gazing. I'm looking forward to taking it out more nights!

I am very new to astronomy, I have found this scope very easy to use! In just three short sessions I have learned how to use the computer and have viewed both the Moon and Saturn. The software that comes with it tells me there are two comets that weather permiting I will soon view as well :).
