## Description

Product Description Celestron is not only changing the way we experience astronomy, we're also changing the way you interact with the night sky. The Astro Fi 130 mm Newtonian is a fully featured telescope that can be controlled with your smart phone or tablet using the free Celestron SkyPortal app. Celestron’s SkyPortal app replaces the traditional telescope hand control for a 100 Percent wireless experience. Just hold your smart device up to the night sky. When you find an object you’d like to view, tap the screen. Your Astro Fi telescope automatically slews to the object, while the screen displays information about it. It’s never been more fun to explore the universe.The Astro Fi 130 creates its own wireless connection, so it can communicate with your device even in remote locations where WiFi or cellular networks aren’t available.Getting ready to observe is quick and painless thanks to Celestron’s award-winning SkyAlign technology. Center any three bright objects in the eyepiece, and your telescope calculates its position. You can even generate a Sky Tour of all the best celestial objects to view based on your exact time and location.Trusted Celestron Optics Innovative WiFi technology powers the Astro Fi, but it’s the optics inside the telescope tube that make it a Celestron. For over 50 years, we’ve led the industry in optical technology and we put that experience into the Astro Fi 130. This 130 mm refractor with fully coated optics offers dazzling views of craters on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, the Orion Nebula, the Hercules Globular Cluster and so much more. The large 130 mm aperture offers the best resolution and the short focal length gives you incredibly wide fields of view. Box Contains 1 x Astro-Fi 130 mm Reflector

Review: Good telescope to start looking at the night sky - This is a fantastic beginner telescope. Easy to set up and easy to use once you’ve got some clear skies. It can be difficult to align the scope using the app, and I’ve had some disconnection issues, but I think that’s my phone’s fault (it keeps disconnecting from scope and switching to home network). The photos are views of the Moon from the 10mm and 25mm eyepiece. I literally put my iPhone on top of the eyepiece and snapped them. They are unedited. Blame the poor focus on my guerilla style photography. I was so focused on wanting to see the Moon I just took some quick snaps and went back to looking! Very happy beginner astronomer!
Review: Stunning quality and ease of use - I've read reviews complaining how WiFi is causing issues for people with Android phones, etc. I bought it anyway, as it was cheaper than competition and I really liked the idea of integrating it with Android app. Frankly, it crossed all my expectations. Optics quality is superb, I had no issues seeing details of the Moon and planets like Jupiter or Saturn. I even got very nice photos of Mars with it! I had 0 issues with WiFi stability either - as long as I remembered to turn off automatic WiFi management in my phone, as that causes WiFi to fallback to 4G connection when phone doesn't detect internet in WiFi network created by telescope. Ergo, this is a phone settings issue and not actual telescope mount problem! Tracking works very well, it's easy to set up too. What they do not mention in most reviews is that you can connect this mount to the home router as well (it doesn't have to be direct connection to mobile device!). In such way you can use Windows app CPWI to command, align etc. the mount. It's a very powerful free app with star maps and! full support for gamepads. It means, I was able to use my xbox gamepad, through that app to actually slewing the telescope very accurately (analogue sticks, with variable speeds using XYAB buttons etc.). Reviews online also do not tell you that you can use mobile powerbank (I use 10k mAh) with this, buying a relatively cheap converter cable that ups voltage from 5V to 12V and has proper plug for this telescope. This works great and telescope is never short on power, working better than on AA batteries for me. To summarise, this is powerful and very portable telescope. It's small, lightweight, mount and stand are good enough for the size and the price (especially on sale now and then) is also fair. I like it more than the ones with physical remote that I had before, for sure. Especially with the gamepad in use, which gives me very precise control when I need that.

### ⭐ Decent optics let down by a hopeless wi fi driven mount system. Celestron you should be ashamed.
*by M***N on 20 January 2021*

This is not fit for purpose. The good bits first. Well constructed telescope tube with good optics and crystal clear focus. This is let down by the fact the whole system is controlled over a wi-fi connection which is hopeless and drops every 10 seconds. Tried it on multiple devices and on the laptop software. They all do the same. I am an it engineer so i do know what im talking about when it comes to wireless communications. The interface is truly rubbish. What is worse is as the signal drops it continues to drive the motor. Only way to stop this is pull the power before the scope collides with the mount. Totally crazy there is no slew stop as well. Please please please don't waste your money on this scope. Instead opt for one which as the hand controller. Returning to supplier for full refund as no response from Celestron customer support either. I now have a really disappointed child who saved hard for this scope Let down by a crappy company and their crappy product.
