Meade Instruments' provides a complete observational platform to observe beyond our solar system with the StarNavigator NG 130mm f/7.7 GoTo Reflector Telescope Travel Pack,
and includes a convenient travel bag to safely and easily carry it far
away from the distractions and light-pollution of civilization.
Configured
with a Newtonian-reflector optical path, it features an oversized
parabolic primary mirror that helps correct chromatic aberration to
produce images with accurate color representation across the entire
field of view. Its long focal length, combined with the large aperture
produces bright and clear images of objects within our solar system,
plus deep-sky subjects such as galaxies, nebulae, globular clusters, and
binary stars.
Driving the dual-axis DC servo motors in the
single-arm fork mount is the AudioStar hand controller. An updated
iteration of their iconic AutoStar, this computer controller enables
quick and easy set up and alignment to get you observing faster, while
offering guided tours and audio commentary on 500 of its over 30,000
objects in the internal database. Capable of multiple tracking speeds,
the mount and controller function together to provide smooth and precise
tracking of fast-moving objects like the Moon and slower deep-sky
subjects like nebulae. The mount is powered by eight user-supplied AA
batteries, which also supplies power to the AudioStar controller via the
coiled communications cord.
A full-sized adjustable-height
aluminum tripod provides solid support for the mount and OTA while still
being lightweight and portable. Two eyepieces are included that provide
38.5x and 111x magnifications, and the 1.25" focuser drawtube will
accept any optional 1.25" eyepieces and accessories that are widely
available separately. To help with set-up and alignment, Meade provides a
red-dot finder that allows users to simply put the dot on a subject for
fast and precise object location.
