Ideal for beginner to intermediate observers, the Omni XLT AZ 130mm f/5 Reflector Telescope from Celestron offers a complete kit for viewing the Moon, planets, meteor showers, and bright deep-sky objects. The optics are fully multicoated with the proprietary XLT anti-reflection coatings to limit light loss and produce brighter and clearer images with more accurate colours and enhanced contrast versus non-coated systems.
The scope features the manual Omni alt-azimuth mount with slip clutches, and slow-motion controls on both axes for precise tracking. A 1.25" diameter barrel eyepiece is included that yields 26x power, and 1.25" eyepiece and accessory will fit the focuser to add greater versatility to the scope. Its adjustable-height aluminium tripod provides a stable observation platform, and its maximum height of 49" allows for comfortable viewing by most users.
