CELESTRON NexStar 127SLT Computerized Telescope

Just imagine the universe at your fingertips with the NexStar 127 SLT 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope. This advanced, computerized GoTo telescope is the perfect blend of affordability and sophistication, making it an ideal choice for both entry-level and mid-level astronomy enthusiasts. The NexStar SLT series, which includes refractors, reflectors, and Maksutov-Cassegrain models, offers a range of popular sizes, each packed with innovative design features. The preassembled, adjustable stainless steel tripods, coupled with quick-release fork arms and tubes, allow for a hassle-free setup in mere minutes, without the need for any tools.

With the NexStar 127 SLT, you can explore the intricate details of the lunar surface, witness the phases of Venus, observe the polar caps on Mars, marvel at Jupiter and its four moons, and even see Saturn with its rings in clear view. Beyond celestial viewing, most NexStar SLT models can also serve as land-based spotting telescopes. Powered by 8 AA batteries (user-supplied) or an optional AC adapter, this portable telescope is designed for travel. The internal battery compartment powers the high-precision servo motors, ensuring rigid, low-vibration performance while eliminating cord wrap issues associated with external battery packs.

The NexStar's ergonomically designed hand control enhances user experience. You can either remove the hand control for remote use or leave it cradled for hands-free operation. With a simple button press, you can access the object catalog, adjust the slew speed, learn fascinating facts about celestial objects, or check the visibility of a desired object in the sky. Celestron's revolutionary SkyAlign technology (patent pending) simplifies the alignment process. Just input the date, time, and location into the hand control, then slew the telescope to any three bright celestial objects in the sky.

There's no need to know the names of the stars; you can even choose the Moon or bright planets. Experience the cosmos like never before with the NexStar 127 SLT 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope, your gateway to the stars.
