will this work on the celestron nexstar 130 gt

Im not exactly sure but one thing I know for sure is you will need a reducer. This camera will magnify the image the same way a 5mm lens would. The big question you want to know before you buy this is if your telescope can move the camera close enough to the focal plane.

Absolutely, but you will probably need to use a 2x or 3x barlow to get the planets large enough. (3 x 650mm = 1950m) Images of Jupiter look the best at near 2000mm. With the moon, you can shoot with your native 650mm focal length, unless you want a close up of a crater or mountain range, then use the 2x or 3x barlow. I recommend Televue Powermates for best performance.

Kevin K. asks if the Celestron NexImage 5 MP "will [...] work on the Celestron Nexstar 130 GT". The answer is yes and no. On the one hand, the camera's machined aluminum 1.25" adapter barrel will fit almost any telescope. It will fit the Celestron Nexstar 130 GT without the additional expense of a particular adapter. Other the other hand, the camera gives its best results on a fully-guided scope. While the Celestron Nexstar 130 GT can slew to an object it does not have the fine tracking abilities of the CGEM DX or CGEM pro mounts. So while the camera will fit and while it will produce images, its use on the Celestron Nexstar 130 GT will preclude long exposures. In other words, with the Celestron Nexstar 130 GT, the camera would be best used for astrophotography of the moon, of the big planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus), of the occasional bright comet and of the sun WITH THE APPROPRIATE SOLAR FILTER. It will be difficult to image faint objects on the Celestron Nexstar 130 GT, not because of the OTA but because of the mount.

It will work on the NexStar 130 GT but mainly for the Moon. The focal length is 650mm so Jupiter and other planets will be small. You can use a 2x to 3x Barlow though to double or triple your focal length. Then the main issue becomes how well does the scope track. With the small field of view that you get with this camera it is hard to find and keep the planet in sight. You can ask your question at Cloudy Nights and get many more people trying to help you.

I too have a 90SLT but I want to use it for Astrophotography. To those that said no because of the threads... Can this fit inside the Celestron T-Adapter and be held in place via the thumb screw?

It will mount to your T3i. I have used it on my T2i & it fits to the bayonet fitting same as a lens. If your scope came with a T-Ring you can attach this adapter to camera> to scope. My Celestron 100 has a 1&1/4 inch eyepiece. Don't know about the Nexstar 90SLT. Give it a try & if it can't be made to fit just return the adapter. I used it for digiscoping.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I suggest calling Celestron. They have been most helpful to us in the past.

This will work with the Celestorn scopes, but I am not certain about the non-celestron scopes. You will have to measure the diameter of the tubes to make sure it will fit.

If your telescope uses a 6 conductor RJ-12 connector on both ends then this should work. the connector onbthis cable looks like a wider phone cable connector.

It will work on just about any telescope. Just depends on what you want to use it for.

Not familiar with that particular scope personally but looking at it on Celestrons website I don't see why it wouldn't. The only thing that maybe could be a slight problem is the small diameter of the tube of that scope may not match real well with the radius of the base on the Telrad and may require some extra double stick tape to make it fit.

Hi Cynthia, The extender won't help you. It's for DSLR cameras. What you need is a Celestron 93626 universal adapter. If you wish to see how these work, look up "Digi-scoping" on YouTube. Hope this helps.

The device should work with the 130 SLT. The mirror is not likely marked. Online articles illustrate how to safely put a calibration mark on the mirror.

I called Celestron and yes they are identical. You are paying more for the "Comsos" brand. Get the InfiniView model and save money.

Yes, these accessories will work with that telescope, but you might be better off spending the same money on two Celestron X-Cel LX eyepieces. The X-Cel LX are of higher quality and have longer eye relief, making them more comfortable to use. Consider the 9mm and 5mm, yielding 111x and 200x magnification, respectively.

I bought mine for the Nextstar 8se and it's a perfect fit for that. I looked at the specs for your scope and they show 28" long. The inside of this case is 26" so I would say it would not fit. Celestron says there is no case for it, but you might start here: http://www.amazon.com/Zhumell-MED-CASE-Medium-Telescope-Case/dp/B004DDLTAK Even though that item isn't available scroll through the also viewed section, you might find something. You might also look at http://www.astronomyforum.net/telescope-forum/153228-case-celestron-nexstar-130slt.html You could also think about a wheeled trunk

I don't know anything about your particular telescope, but we have it on a Celestron Powerseeker 80EQ and it works great. Maybe you could look up the specs of ours and see if it would work with yours.

Celestron has a list on their site. Check the mount you have, not the telescope.

I have a Celestron C90mm Spotting scope Focal length 1250mm the importance here is the eyepiece...if yours is 1.25" AstroMaster acc.will work. do not expect super quality but is nice to have it !
