Celestron NexStar 127SLT Telescope for Beginners - Compact and Portable

Building on the success of the NexStar 114SLT telescope, the Celestron 127SLT takes stargazing to the next level, boasting 20% more light-gathering power than its 114mm predecessor. The Celestron NexStar 127SLT is an advanced computerized telescope that features a comprehensive database containing over 40,000 celestial objects, including stars, galaxies, and nebulae. This telescope allows for precise object locating and tracking, ensuring a streamlined observing experience.

At the core of its Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design is a significant 127mm primary mirror, which provides fully color-corrected views tailored for astronomical observation. Accompanying the telescope is the fully computerized NexStar+ hand control, which simplifies the process of locating celestial objects. Users can easily select an object from the database, and the telescope automatically slews to it, making it perfect for both kids and adults to explore the night sky together during weekend camping trips or visits to dark-sky sites. Its compact design enhances portability, allowing for easy transport and quick assembly in various locations.

In just a few minutes, you can have the NexStar 127SLT ready for use, thanks to its pre-assembled and adjustable steel tripod. Celestron’s innovative SkyAlign alignment technology combined with the included StarPointer Finderscope featuring a red LED light makes the alignment process straightforward. Simply center any three bright objects in the eyepiece, and the NexStar SLT will align with the night sky, prepared to locate thousands of celestial objects.

The NexStar 127SLT Computerized GoTo Telescope empowers users to witness incredible astronomical details, such as the lunar surface texture, the rings of Saturn, the polar ice caps on Mars, and Jupiter's mesmerizing cloud belts. Among its many capabilities, the telescope allows for the exploration of popular Messier objects, including the globular cluster in Hercules (M13) and the Great Nebula in Orion (M42). The additional light-gathering capacity offered by the five-inch primary mirror further enhances the ability to observe fainter Messier objects.
