Celestron NexStar 102 SLT

The introduction of the Celestron NexStar 102 SLT telescope was due to the popularity of earlier short tube refractor scopes.

Once you start using this model you'll soon find that your astronomical observing is a pleasure with this large, powerful 4" telescope. The 102 SLT offers a massive 63% increase in image brightness over 80mm models. This short-tube telescope with a fast f/5 optical system gives images that are bright and crisp.

And just like other models in the SLT Series, it includes a fully computerized hand control, and a database with more than 4,000 celestial objects.

With its pre-assembled, adjustable steel tripod, the NexStar 102 SLT can be setup ready to use in just a few minutes.

The addition of SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a piece of cake.

Due to its wide 1.7 ° field of view, the NexStar 102 SLT is optimal for scanning large areas of the sky and for excellent terrestrial (land) viewing.

This is a superb entry to mid-level astronomical scope, and with the use of an optionally available erect image diagonal, the 102 SLT may also be used as a land-based spotting telescope.
