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 Ashley Taylor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent buy for my money

pretty nice. It's a little tricky to get it just right for what you're focusing on, but once you do it looks great. I would recommend getting a moon filter and a light pollution filter from Celestron. The moon filter offers much more detail on a bright moon and eliminates a significant amount of light. The light pollution filter also cuts out a lot of city light if you live on the outskirts of a city, allowing you to potentially see more stars and even some nebulae with the right lens. As for the telescope, I wish it was better if you try to move the scope more smoothly when zeroing. I'd say it seems a bit clunky and you really need to give it a good boost before it actually moves. and stops where you want. Other than that, it's impressive. The photo was taken with my phone's camera directly above the lens.
