Product Description

Throughout the years, the StarNavigator Series has provided space admirers and amateur astronomers the computerized GoTo telescope at a great price. The StarNavigator NG (Next Generation) Series takes this to the next level. Featuring an easy to operate, lightweight, and portable robotic mount with Meade’s AudioStar computer controller, this incredible AudioStar technology knows the night sky right out of the box.

Turn it on, and after a brief alignment procedure, your telescope is ready to take you on a guided tour of the night skies best objects. With Audiostar's 30,000 object database and over 4 hours of audio presentations built-in the electronics, you can learn about the objects you’re viewing in real time. It’s like having a professional astronomer with you at the telescope.

The StarNavigator NG 130 includes a carrying bag, and features a lightweight aluminum frame, advanced electronics, an internal clock, an external power connector, a vixen dovetail receiver, and a fully height adjustable aluminum tripod, allowing comfortable viewing from either a seated or standing position. Powered by 8 AA batteries (user-supplied) or external power you will see more objects in a single night than Galileo saw in his lifetime.
