Celestron SkyProdigy 130 Computerized Telescope — Automatic Alignment & 4,000+ Objects

Effortless Astronomy from First Light

SkyProdigy 130 is a revolutionary computerized telescope that makes stargazing approachable with minimal setup. It combines an on-board computer, a built-in imaging camera, StarSense technology, and a responsive alt-az mount to deliver automatic alignment with a single button press. Turn it on, pick a target, and let the telescope guide the way—you simply enjoy the view.

What sets SkyProdigy apart is the confident ease of use it offers. The system maintains a growing database of targets and guided viewing options ideal for backyard sessions, introductory demonstrations, or casual exploration with family and friends. The internal camera captures the sky to identify stars, calculates coordinates, and builds a model of the sky so the telescope can precisely slew to your chosen object.
