Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Qu'est-ce qu'on peut voir avec le Celestron StarSense Explorer 130DX ?

The Moon in detail, the planets (Jupiter’s bands and moons, Saturn’s rings), and, under a dark sky, the brightest star clusters and nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula. Its maximum useful magnification is approximately 260× (2 × the diameter in mm); in practice, atmospheric turbulence often makes it necessary to stay below this limit.

Which eyepieces are included, and what are their magnifications?

Two eyepieces are included: 25 mm and 10 mm. With a focal length of 650 mm, they provide 26× and 65× magnification. To calculate the magnification of an eyepiece, divide the telescope's focal length by the eyepiece's focal length.

Is it easy to carry?

The tube weighs about 3.99 kg and is about 63.5 cm long, and the tripod weighs about 4.2 kg.

Should we aim it at him?

Yes, just like any Newtonian telescope. A quick check every now and then is enough, especially after transporting it. With a collimation laser, it’s quick and easy. At f/5, it’s more demanding: precise alignment is clearly visible at high magnifications.

Can we take pictures?

The included smartphone adapter lets you take souvenir photos of the Moon and the planets—but that's all. Deep-sky photography isn't possible: the mount doesn't track the sky's movement.

What's in the box?

Optical tube, mount, and tripod (pre-assembled), 25 mm and 10 mm eyepieces, StarPointer red-dot finder, accessory plate, StarSense Explorer smartphone mount.
