Celestron AstroFi 130 Product description

  1. Optical Design: The Celestron Astro Fi 130 is a Newtonian reflector telescope, providing excellent light-gathering capabilities to reveal faint deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae, alongside clear views of the Moon and planets. Its large 130mm aperture captures ample light, making it suitable for both casual stargazing and more detailed observations.

  2. Integrated Wi-Fi: This telescope features a built-in Wi-Fi module that allows complete wireless control via your smartphone or tablet using Celestron's free SkyPortal app. This innovation eliminates the need for a separate hand control and cables, offering a streamlined and intuitive user experience.

  3. SkyAlign Technology: Setting up the Astro Fi 130 is made effortless with Celestron’s award-winning SkyAlign technology. Simply center any three bright objects in the eyepiece, and the telescope automatically calculates its position, aligning itself with the night sky and making thousands of celestial objects available at your fingertips.

  4. Smartphone Control & GoTo: Utilize your mobile device to navigate the night sky with ease. The SkyPortal app not only controls the telescope but also provides real-time information about celestial objects, making it an ideal tool for beginners to identify stars, planets, and more. The GoTo mount automatically tracks objects as they move across the sky, ensuring they remain centered in your view.

It excels in revealing stunning details of the lunar surface, planetary features, and brighter deep-sky objects, thanks to its high-quality primary mirror system. The intuitive smartphone integration allows users to effortlessly locate and track thousands of celestial objects through a familiar mobile interface. Constructed from durable materials, including a robust aluminium optical tube and stable tripod, the Astro Fi 130 ensures reliability and longevity, making it an excellent choice for backyard astronomy and educational experiences.
