Q1: Will images in this telescope be upside down? A: Good question. The answer is no. Unlike most reflector telescopes, the images in this telescope will be right side up. The Celestron AstroMaster telescope series features Erect Image Optics which corrects the image making it ideal for land viewing in addition to sky viewing. Q2: Does this telescope work with a camera? A: The AstroMaster telescopes are able to accept camera attachments. However, it’s a completely manual mount so you wont be taking any long exposure, deep-space photography with it. It’s a great telescope for beginners for visual use. If you are really interested in getting into astrophotography, we would highly suggest going with a telescope with complete automatic tracking. Something like the Celestron SE series or SLT series telescopes. To attach a camera, such as a DSLR to the AstroMaster telescopes, you will need a Universal T-Adapter and a T-Ring specific to your camera. Q3: The focal ratio between the 130 EQ and the 114 EQ are quite different. What does this effect? A: More important is the difference in the aperture size, 130mm or 114mm, the larger the aperture, the more light you can gather. The 130 features a shorter focal length and will magnify objects less than the 114mm telescope will, however the more important feature of a telescope is the light gathering ability, so we would always suggest larger aperture over more magnification ability. Most objects in the night sky are viewed between 40x-100x, making either the 130 and 114 qualified. The larger aperture of the 130 makes for a better view of objects.
