The Celostron
Astro Fi130 Refractor Telescope is a
130mm aperture, reflector or Newtonian telescope with an
altazimuth mount and ideal for
deep sky observation. Up to here it could be a basic initiation telescope, but in it we found a
novelty that has not been developed until now, the possibility of controlling the telescope from your
mobile device through the
wi-fi connection.
The SkyPortal
application for
Android and IOS will allow you to configure the control of your telescope, which already has an
integrated Wi-Fi communication system. To start the observation you will only need
three celestial points , no matter what they are, and he will automatically calculate your position, from here the same function of
SkyAlign will take you on a tour of space. This telescope allows memorizing up to
120,000 celestial
objects .
The
multi-coated optics of this telescope follow the quality of Celestron, incorporating two
eyepieces ,
10 and 25mm (65 and 26X). The focal length is
650mm and the focal ratio is
5 . Therefore, it is a suitable instrument for observing
deep sky including galaxies and nebulae, also planetary and even starting with
astro photography .
The kit comes complete with an
Altazimuth fork
mount , similar to that of the Celestron LCM series, and a very stable
aluminum tripod . Incorporates the StarPointer search engine.
