Why we like it

The Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ comes with some serious magnification abilities — it has a 20mm lens (which gives 33x magnification) as well as a 10mm lens (which zooms in 65x). Your purchase will also include an adjustable tripod, a red dot finderscope for zoning in on your favorite celestial objects, and a free astronomy software program that will make you an unofficial night sky expert. Most of Celestron's products are beginner-friendly, and this particular AstroMaster telescope is no exception. It's the most expensive item on our product list, but it's a solid investment.
