Celestron 127SLT Telescope Description

The Celestron 127SLT Telescope is inexpensive. It has a maximum useful magnification of 167 x and a red-dot finderscope. It is motorized, and it has an altazimuth mount.

Why doesn't the Celestron 127SLT Telescope score better?

At Pikimal, we believe that the best way to make a decision is to look at the facts. Our algorithm drew on more than 3,700 facts from our database of 263 different telescopes to determine the ranking for the Celestron 127SLT Telescope. Thousands of people have used Pikimal's prioritization tools, and from their preferences we have determined that vision quality, price and model information are the most important qualities for telescopes. The Celestron 127SLT Telescope is an average telescope when it comes to vision quality, is a pricey telescope and is better than only 10% of telescopes when it comes to model information. You can choose your own preferences and create a custom ranking, or check out the top 10 telescopes and compare this item to the winning telescope, the Galileo 800 x 60 Astornomical/Terrestrial Telescope.

The Celestron 127SLT Telescope achieves 20% performance for vision quality.

Vision Quality

Optical Diameter:

This measurement indicates the size of the telescope's primary lens. A bigger diameter is better, as it will allow the lens to produce more detail by collecting additional light.

We currently have no data on the Celestron 127SLT Telescope for optical diameter.

Optical Diameter
(wrong info?)

Focal Length:

This measurement indicates the width of an angle the telescope can capture through its eyepiece. A longer focal length will typically allow you to reach higher magnifications.

The Celestron 127SLT Telescope achieves 35% performance for focal length. However, the current preferences ignore focal length in computing the rankings.

Focal Length
1500 millimeters (wrong info?)

Maximum Useful Magnification:

This is the maximum magnification that can be achieved by the telescope that is still considered useful and bright enough to see.

Given that users looking for the best overall telescopes prefer higher values for maximum useful magnification, the Celestron 127SLT Telescope achieves 20% performance in this category.

Maximum Useful Magnification
167 x (wrong info?)

Finderscope:

This feature assists in locating objects. The right finderscope for you depends on your intended use, as a red-dot finderscope helps to locate things that are visible with the naked eye and an optical finderscope locates things that are not.

The Celestron 127SLT Telescope achieves 100% performance for finderscope. However, the current preferences ignore finderscope in computing the rankings.

Optical Design:

Optical designs range in both quality and price. Refracting and Newtonian telescopes are both good for visual observing and stargazing, but refracting ones are easier to use and Newtonians are typically less expensive. Catadioptric telescopes are the best design for terrestrial viewing.

The Celestron 127SLT Telescope achieves 100% performance for optical design. However, the current preferences ignore optical design in computing the rankings.

Mount Type:

Mount types range in complexity and the best one for you is based on your intended use. These types range from the altazimuth, which is the simplest design recommended for casual use and terrestrial viewing, to the equatorial design, which is more complex and designed for astronomical viewing.

The Celestron 127SLT Telescope achieves 100% performance for mount type. However, the current preferences ignore mount type in computing the rankings.
