Our new SkyAlign alignment technology and the included StarPointer Finderscope with a red LED makes aligning a breeze.

A superb larger 130mm aperture fully computerized Telescope package with everything required to start observing the night sky.
"Verdict A great telescope and mount combination for general night-sky
observing, at an attractive price too."
The Sunday Times - ingear best buy
"What more can one ask for? I believe this and the other telescopes in the Nextstar range will be able to painlessly introduce many newcomers to the night sky. They deserve to sell in large numbers and Celestron are to be congratulated not only in coming up with a brilliant way to align a computerised scope but providing this new software in a worthwhile aperture scope at a very reasonable price. Well done!"
Ian Morison, Jodrell Bank Observatory
