I have a Celestron Astromaster 130. I need to replace the Tripod that it came with so, here is my question. Is this Tripod capable with my celetron?

If the dovetail bar is a little under 5 cm (2 inches) in width, then it should fit. I don't remember the weight requirement for the CG-4, but if it's the same as the CG-3 (I'm assuming your telescope came with the CG-3), then you're fine.

I'm currently using if with a 8" f5 relector that weighs several pounds more then you 130. you shouldnt have any problems

Hi Steven, I don't own that telescope anymore. I am now using Nexstar 5SE. However what I have discovered is if your camera is decently heavy then your telescope will start tilting down. To stabilize it I had to use additional weights. I have never tried mounting a camera on Astromaster.

Hi, in the middle of the skymaster, there is one circled logo of Celestron cap. Please remove by unscrew this. You can able to hook the tripod. Thanks.

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 Dolica 68" tripod is the best tripod I own and I own a lot of them! It is an all-around great tripod. I use the Celestron 15x70 binoculars on it and it handles them wonderfully even when the tripod is extended all the way up and you're looking straight up at the night sky. What you really need, however, is a decent binocular to tripod mount because the plastic one that comes with the Celestron binoculars is no good at all and it causes an uncontrollable amount of image shake. It is hard to believe that such a thing would make much difference but it makes a HUGE difference. I bought the Barska tripod adapter on Amazon for $9.95 and it is solid. Hope this helps....

I use this bag for my Celestron Omni XLT 150. The ota, tripod and weights fit quite well. I have another bag for the cg-4 mount. The powerseeker has a smaller tripod and mount and your ota will be smaller, so you may be able to fit all of it in. My main problem is the weight. My equipment weights approx. 45 lbs. It looks like yours is only approx. 17. This bag should work for you.

Yes, it will work. I use the 2x lens in my full size scope as well as in my Orion go-scope. As long as the celestron uses the same width lenses (which it appears it does) they should work fine. Mine works great in my travel scope.

Did your Celestron 20x80 binoculars come with the integrated tripod adapter rod? If it did read the manual to make sure the thread size matches up with the thread size on this tripod. I would assume the adapter rod would be the universal size for all standard tripods but its always good to check.

Yes it is. However, I highly recommend that you replace it with the BARSKA binocular tripod adapter. The BARSKA adapter is made of metal and will help reduce, but not totally eliminate all vibration. The Celestron adapter is made of plastic or resin. I have several of the BARSKA adapters and they have helped a great deal. If this is your first set of astro binoculars, please consider a heavy tripod as well. It will make night sky viewing that much more pleasurable. Take a look at the Orion Paragon XHD tripod. It has a very good fluid head. You can always add a heavy "bean bag" type of weight from the center column of the tripod to assist vibration dampening. Yes it is.

It should as all but the cheapest telescopes use 1 1/4" eyepieces. Check your existing eyepiece to confirm as Celestron does not actually list the size.

I assume you are asking about the orion scope vs the celestron scope? I've no experience with the orion st, there's a comparison on cloudy nights' user forum. There is a lot of info there. I beive that is where I found a write up on what to expect from various size optics and focal lengths. I'm still happy with the astromaster. It has pretty good optics, but as many people have pointed out, the mount is a little flimsy.

The mount that shows in the picture is for SCTs like the SE, CPC, or Edge HD series of scopes. When I bought mine, there was a smaller mount included for smaller scopes along with the mount shown. I would refer to the Celestron.com website for more info if you aren't sure.

It has standard photo tripod fittings. I am not certain about the Celestine tripod. If it has standard photo tripod fittings, then yes.

I wouldn't, unless you have a really extravagant and solid and extremely heavy (and costly) tripod to give extreme stability to your telescope. And maybe not even then. This Barlow gets in really tight, and even a very slight breeze will knock it out of focus or cause vibrations if you use this coupled with a zoom. Tighter is not always better. I have a Celestron zoom and this Barlow as well. I use them both. But I don't use them together. Hope this helps. Great question!

Not very well. It's not sturdy enough. For 20 x 80s you should invest in the Paragon-Plus XHD. Or buy the 20 x 80 / XHD combo package Orion offers. The micro-motion feature is appealing but if it's on an inferior mount you wouldn't be happy. The 20 x 80s are only five pounds, but the tripod you're asking about won't even support that, let alone the 10 lbs it claims. I think you can trust me. I wrote Celestron's ads and publications for five years.

I am new at this and unfamiliar with other models. I only know that it fits the Celestron. Maybe someone else will respond. Good luck.

The Tripod is motorized and included. However, it runs on 8 AA batteries which don't last very long in terms of a night of star gazing. It is recommended to get the Celestron brand battery pack if you are going to use this anywhere away from a power outlet (which is mostly the case I find). I bought an off-brand car jump starter that had an AC outlet.
