The AstroMaster 130EQ-MD is a 130mm f/5 Newtonian reflector on a motorized CG-3 equatorial mount. The motorized RA drive tracks the sky for you, which is rare at this size and makes it easier to keep planets and the Moon in view at high power. The fast f/5 optics gather plenty of light for a beginner scope and give wide views of clusters and the Moon, though the bundled eyepieces and the lightweight mount limit how far it goes. It suits newcomers who want tracking and a real equatorial mount without stepping up to a larger, heavier instrument.

Owners treat it as a solid first reflector with the convenience of tracking, but many say the mount is the weak point and the stock eyepieces are worth replacing.
