Let the Orion StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo Reflector lead you on a guided tour of the night sky! The complete StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo Reflector Telescope Kit is a great setup for beginning backyard astronomers since it includes many useful accessories and a motorized GoTo system.

This smart 130mm reflector telescope can locate and aim itself at over 42,000 celestial objects within its vast database of night sky targets. Its single-arm mount features built-in encoders and servo motor drives designed to slew the 130mm-aperture reflector accurately and automatically to any visible object you select with its illuminated hand controller, following an easy two-star alignment process. Once the computerized GoTo system locates a selected object, the StarSeeker III 130mm will precisely track it as it appears to move across the night sky, so you can enjoy the view for as long as you like before selecting a different target. This allows you to relax and enjoy the view instead of fumbling with cables and buttons to keep the object centered. Built-in encoders and servo motors slew the 130mm reflector telescope accurately and automatically right to the object you select from the GoTo hand controller's intuitive menus.

With its 130mm-aperture (5.1") short focal length parabolic mirror, the StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo reflector provides a wide field of view and excellent images of night sky objects. Friends and family will enjoy probing intriguing star clusters and cloudy nebulas, as well as brighter galaxies on especially clear evenings. The Orion StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo telescope will provide stunning views of the Moon's cratered surface, as well as great views of bright planets such as Saturn with its beautiful rings and giant Jupiter with its cloud band "stripes" and four brightest moons.

Weighing just 17 lbs. fully assembled, the conveniently portable Orion StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo reflector is easy to take along just about anywhere. Add some celestial adventures to your next big family campout, or wow your friends at their next dinner party by showing them the night sky as they've never seen before.

Since the StarSeeker III 130mm Reflector can locate and track objects in the night sky with its computerized GoTo system, you can attach a camera or smartphone to it and take impressive pictures of the night sky. Capture stunning snapshots of the Moon, planets and more by attaching a dedicated astrophotography camera, or a combination of an Orion SteadyPix accessory and your own point-and-shoot camera or smartphone to the StarSeeker III 130mm Reflector to explore the rewarding hobby of astrophotography. (Cameras and SteadyPix accessories sold separately)

You'll get a great assortment of useful accessories with the StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo Reflector telescope:

Two 1.25" eyepieces are included with the StarSeeker 130mm GoTo Reflector.

The included 25mm Explorer II eyepiece provides 26x magnification in the 130mm reflector optical tube, and the 10mm bumps magnification up to 65x for higher-power views through the telescope. We recommend starting with the 25mm eyepiece every night to observe a wider area of the night sky, then boost magnification by swapping out the 25mm eyepiece with the 10mm ocular once you have an object centered.

The Orion EZ Finder II reflex sight makes it "EZ" to center alignment stars.

Use the included EZ Finder II reflex sight to help center initial alignment stars when performing the two-star alignment required for accurate GoTo performance. It's a non-magnifying sighting device that superimposes a tiny, LED-powered red dot, focused at infinity, on the sky. After a simple alignment procedure, the red dot shows exactly where your telescope is pointed.

Let the computerized GoTo controller guide you on a tour.

The StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo Reflector lets you explore the skies with pushbutton ease thanks to its GoTo hand controller. With a vast database of over 42,000 celestial objects including stars, double stars, galaxies, nebulas, star clusters, and more, the included computerized GoTo hand controller will become your tour guide to the skies.

The StarSeeker III 130mm GoTo Reflector also includes a compass, quick-collimation cap, PC interface cable, and a removable accessory tray for the tripod. Each StarSeeker III requires 8 AA batteries (not included) or an external 12V DC field battery or AC-to-DC wall adapter.

Take advantage of this affordable kit's additional included tools to get the most from the bright views of this 130mm GoTo Reflector!

Use the Shorty 2x Barlow with the 25mm eyepiece that comes with the 130mm Reflector to enjoy 52x magnification compared to 26x, and the combination of the 10mm eyepiece and Barlow bumps the power from 65x to a more powerful 130x view. Use the included MoonMap 260 to properly identify lunar features you see through the telescope. Read the Discover the Stars guidebook to learn helpful hints about stargazing. Use the Star Target Planisphere to see what constellations and objects will be visible on any day of the year. The RedBeam Mini flashlight makes it easy to refer to charts and books while observing, and it helps you see small parts and knobs without disrupting dark-adapted vision.
