Review on 🌌 Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD Newtonian Telescope: Ideal Reflector Telescope for Beginner Astronomers with Fully-Coated Glass Optics, Adjustable-Height Tripod, and BONUS Astronomy Software Package by Laurie Garcia

I have had the scope for 9 months. I have that for you. The bullet is cheap. Everything about it is cheap. The focuser is very sloppy and loose, no collamation possible at all, so good luck focusing on the moon or jupiter cleanly. It's fuzzy blurry all the time. The rubber rings on the focus knob keep slipping. The magician is nonsense. And there's no central point on the primary, so best guess what you're going to get when you colmate. My red dot scope was broken upon arrival so I removed a different and old scope which I had to return. The primary mirror adjustment knobs were so tight that I needed pliers to move them and also 2 of the 3 adjustment screws had snapped off so the mirror kept moving. Cheap. Bracket is garbage. All of the screws holding the dial have snapped off rendering the dials unusable, making DEC and RA impossible. I had to completely disassemble the bracket and re-cut each screw hole because half of them were factory threaded. It was fun I tell you. Thank you Celestron. The motor drive will cool down in about 30 seconds if you find it restricting your scope movement to more than 3/4. no fun at all. I removed the motor drive after the first night because it was more hassle than it was worth. The north/south hemisphere switch is also reversed. Cheap. The tripod legs are metal and the elevation locks are plastic and broke almost immediately, making my scope even more wobbly and almost impossible to level. For 300€ I expected more. My mistake. Cheap, I have a feeling Celestron went to the third largest cheap telescope manufacturer, put their name on the best and sold it to me. Cheating sounds good. I will never buy a Celestron product again. I have a Meade 70mm single lens refractor that I bought at a flea market for $5 that gave me a better view of Saturn than this telescope. SadBuy at your own risk. you have been warned I literally threw this scope in the trash.
