2 Meade® DS-2130ATS

130mm (5.1") Altazimuth Reflector

Reflectors have long been a favorite with amateur astronomers. The large 130mm diameter mirror of the Meade DS-2130ATS provides 469% brighter images and a tremendous increase in fine detail, compared to common 60mm telescopes.

The standard equipment #494 AutoStar® Computer Control System permits automatic object location and tracking of more than 1400 objects in the AutoStar database at the touch of a button.

See fainter and more distant objects in far greater detail. Several thousand star clusters, galaxies and nebulae are within range of this telescope. This model is highly recommended for astronomical applications; however, due to its image orientation it is not recommended for land viewing.

Includes two premium 4-element Super Plössl eyepieces.
