Will this tripod work with a Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT GoTo Maksutove telescope?

this tripod works well with small dove tails, the 5 spotting scope fits very well and looks great sitting in any room.there is a drive for this tripod I don't have it.the cgem HD8 is a great scope and drive for the price. ive seen many and the optics are great for the money.i only know the cgem drives.

I do not know about the nextstar 127, but i have been using it with the meade etx-125 maksutov tube and it is working fine. however the cg-4 isnot a goto mount.

The CG-4 will positively work with the Mak '127. However, the CG-4 does not come standard with the computerized/motorized controls. The controls are manual. You can add after market motors to the mount. The CG-4 will be noticeably more stable than the factory mount the Mak '127 came with.

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.

The Celestron has the standard mounting hardware. So any tripod will do. Having said that the SkyMasters are heavy and do need a tripod with this in mine. I have mine on my camera tripod it works "ok" I want a much better tripod to be able to hold the SkyMasters in place with out drift. They the SkyMaster are just to heavy for the tripod I'm using now. Spend the money now you won't be sorry you did. Unable to pick a tripod now as i haven't found the one I like yet for the money.

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.

Yes, it should work. You will, of course, need the 1.25 lens adapter for the telescope: Celestron 93625 Universal 1.25-inch Camera T-Adapter

If the 130 can accommodate 2" eyepieces they should work fine..I use mine with my 11" Celestron SCT and have been please with the quality of the optics. Since the 130 is a reflector, it doesn't make sense to use the diagonal but the eyepieces will make viewing much easier and the kit is probably less expensive that the eyepieces and filters would be separately. (a call to Celestron is probably a good idea)

You need to check with your Satellite provider. The tripod will hold any antenna.

Thank you for your inquiry. That camera will work with your Celestron 130mm refrlector.

I seriously doubt this would work. This drive is designed to fit the Celestron EQ-4 mount, which has appropriate attachment points and internal gears.

Yeah, it'll work just fine. All of the Celestron, Orion, Astro-Tech, etc. scopes use the Vixen-style dovetail. Heck, a lot of those scopes come out of the same factories, and just get different brands stamped on them. And I know for a fact that this finder works with Celestron's NexStar 102 tube because I have both of them and have used them together. You're safe!

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.

I used mine with a telescope and I had to use a longer plate, I believe you would need a longer release plate too. The head attaches to the tripod with the standard 3/8" screw. 1/4" screws are used to attach the plates to the camera.

Yes. It will work. I've done it also with a cheap Celestron telescope. You may need a "C" adapter to fit your specific camera. Give it a try and see what you get!

It should fit. I use the case to store a Celestron Omni 150 reflector, (which is 150mm diameter) with tripod, counterweights and accesories.

This camera is equipped with a 1.25" barrel so that it will work in place of any 1.25" eyepiece. It will work with any telescope that accepts a 1.25" eyepiece, including the Nexstar130 SLT.

The Celstron site - http://www.celestron.com/portal/skyq-link.html - lists the compatible mounts for this unit. It is not so much the telescope, but the mount used for it.

I purchased the item for my Nexstar 8SE tripod. The 8SE tripod head is too big for the bag. Since the SLT102 tripod head is smaller I think it will work for you. It is a very nice tripod bag and I am very happy with it. I use it to carry my Celestron 93607 Tripod, Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth tripod.
