When the motor drive is attached can you still use the manual adjustment knob to fine tune the tube? Or do you have to disconnect the motor drive first?
You don't need to use the manual knob , and why would you when there's a motor😃 , if You want to do it manually , remove the motor and attach the knob .
Guys I'm facing some problems with the Motor Drive... It turns on but does nothing... What can I do? I think I'm doing something wrong because it doesn't move also in manual control if the motor drive is attached to the A.R.
@@jackorion482 Make sure the allen screw is attached to the shaft on the motor side and the thumb screw is located in the groove on the other side. Remember this is a very slow turning motor so it may take a few mins for any slack in the assembly to be taken up. Also make sure it's polar aligned or any movement may be in the wrong direction to track your target.
For that Telescope must be well balanced in Dec axis first and later in RA axis. And must be roughly polar aligned to tw track the object using motor drive.
tripod and mount is strong but gets sometimes vibrate when u use it on plain surface. i don't have anti vibration pads so i get some trouble while observing.
@@ProkashRoy well, I figured it out but a new problem has arose. I don't know how to operate mortar and connect it with skyportal. Can you help me with that bro?
Yes you can see but not so clear and not so big. You can see a blurry view of planets and very small. As it is analog telescope you can't get to see clear images except moon.
I'm thinking about getting one for my use and to introduce.my grandkids to something good. Would you recommend this telescope or is there a better choice in the price range? I have found it on sale under $300 US.. Thanks.and good day..
hey m from India, can you share share your experience with this telescope and I also wanted to know how often you use it. I'm also thinking of buying astromaster 130eq.
best time to see between march to september.. you can buy it. it is best to this price. you can see moon clearly other planets is not clear nd not big in size.
within budget this is good if u have more budget u can try another. only 20mm nd 10mm lenes are given with this, u can see moon very nice wth the lenses. planets like jupiter nd saturn is visible bt small in size. others are not clear with this telescope.
Prokash Roy what other lenses do you recommend for this telescope man? I just got this 130 EQ yesterday. Also, mine didn’t come with motor drive.. is that normal or did you buy that separately?
@@stevepeluso9385 there are two options to buy this telescope - one with motor drive (costlier among the two) and the other one without the motor drive (cheaper among the two). You may even get the motor drive separately ad upgrade it.
Hi, Good video.How is this 130eq telescope?? There is another brand KSon with good aperture and thickness of lenses. Kindly suggest which is better. Is this clestron good for deep sky viewing. Am a beginners and wish to buy one, kindly advice me your opinion. Thanks Sandeep
Hi there. I meant to ask this question regarding the use of Motor Drive of the Celestron Astromaster 130eq MD. I mean with that can I connect the android application of Celestron Sky Portal to the telescope via WiFi, or is it possible without the drive as well?
hi prakash.... I want to buy a telescope within budget of 20k which could help me to see fainter clusters of nebulae,supernovae and galaxies...i would preffer a newtonian telescope...could u kindly tell me which one i should get and ya plz reffer the online shopping site which is the most reliable.... Thanking u in advance :-)
Within 20K you can get Newtonian Refractor Telescope, You can see moon jupiter saturn bt small in size. With my telescope i cannot see any galaxy or nebula. I have tried to see the milkyway bt it was only a whiter cluster with faint color. Nebulas and Galaxies can be seen with the remote sensing digital telescopes whish are not within 20K. I have bought from amazon.com. You can visitt celestron official website but you have to buy from the store. If you wish to buy from online you can try from amazon.com or amazon.in
Prokash Roy thnx for so quick reply...as per my requiremets i know it will exceed my budget...it is better if i shd wait and save some more money and get a dobsonian one day :"-)
It was mentioned that the motor drive uses 9V battery. Is it six number of 1.5v batteries? It looks small and I am not sure about it whether it can have the needed space.
no its a single 9V battery. Its Not necessary. You have to manually rotate the telescope during operation. Its easier to use with hands rather than Motor Drive.

Hi, I have recently bought the celestron AM 130 EQ. when setting up I wrongly assembled the counter weight first rather than adjusting the lattitude knob both at the front and rear side.
