Description
- Buy One, Give One: For every Lumina telescope we sell, Celestron donates an identical Lumina telescope to a K-12 school in the United States, helping expand access to hands-on astronomy education.
- 130mm Parabolic Mirror: A precision 130mm (5.1″) parabolic primary mirror collects 345x more light than the human eye and focuses it accurately to a single point, reducing optical aberrations and delivering sharper, higher-contrast views. This design reveals finer detail on the Moon and planets while improving clarity on brighter star clusters and deep-sky objects.
- Compact, Grab-and-Go Design: The telescope folds down to 18″ x 14″ for storage and travel. At just 13.8 lb, with a sturdy tabletop base and built-in carry handle, Lumina is designed for quick setup and easy portability.
- Stable, Beginner-Friendly Dobsonian Base: The smooth alt-azimuth tabletop Dobsonian mount moves naturally up/down and left/right, making it easy to locate and track objects, even for first-time observers.
- Everything You Need to Get Started: Includes two eyepieces, a StarPointer™ red-dot finderscope, a collimation cap, and Starry Night astronomy software to support learning and exploration from day one.
