Celestron includes two eyepieces, plus an unmagnified finderscope, and stainless steel adjustable-height tripod. The mount requires 8x AA batteries which is not ideal, but it’s also similar to many other GoTo power requirements in the market. U nleash the full pointing accuracy of your Celestron computerized telescope with a specialized telescope control software suite. I’m starting to outgrow mine now but I have added a couple of things to my kit that I can carry over to a new Celestron Scope.

Sometimes you have to collimate a few times at night, but this one will stay collimated for many nights. Or you can use a Barlow lens that will double or triple the magnification provided with each eyepiece, but it will slightly decrease the quality of the image.The diameter of the primary mirror in the Celestron NexStar 130 SLT is 130mm, as you can see in the telescope’s name. There have been criticisms over its lifetime in the market mostly due to the light-duty mount and some electronic issues. Well it definitely sounds by now to be a warranty job unless anyone else has a better idea but as a last ditched stand, I'll paraphrase that section of Mike's book for you.
