Review on 🔭 Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ Reflector Telescope - Ideal for Beginners - Enhanced Glass Optics - Adjustable Tripod Stand - Includes Astronomy Software Bundle by Morgan Gilmore

Luminous Newt reflector with a spherical mirror. I highly do not recommend buying, because at magnifications from 0.5D (from 60x) there will be a terrible spherical aberration that makes the image "soapy". The image of such a reflector will be comparable to the image (sorry for the taphtalogy) of a 70mm refractor lens telescope. The telescope is also on the black list of optical instruments, for the above reasons. Of the analogues, I would advise Sky-watcher BK (P) 130650EQ2, it will give the best image. A couple of tips to combat the disease. If you still bought this scope for yourself, it is worth observing only at low magnifications and eyepieces with a focal length of at least 13-15mm. The second way to improve the image is shielding. Aperture less than 1 in 8 will give a normal image only with a parabolic mirror. For, in order for the aperture ratio (the ratio of the lens diameter to the focal length, here - 130 to 650 or 1 to 5) of the tool to decrease, you need to "cut" the aperture (diameter of the main mirror), which is 130mm to at least 80mm. It will be necessary to cut out the so-called hood from cardboard. With an aperture of 80 mm and a focal length of 650 mm, the aperture ratio will be approximately 1 to 8, which is acceptable for a spherical mirror.
