  1. Hello, I am a beginner to all this. I have just purchased a Celestron Nexstar 130SLT and I am having trouble getting close in to Nebulas etc or even being able to see them. The aperture of my telescope is 130mm and the focal length is 650mm. Focal ratio is f/5. I have collimated, finder-scope aligned, level telescope even temperature matched outside. I live in a Bortle 6 area so I have a little bit of light pollution. I can see star clusters clearly just not nebulas or galaxies. I have a 9mm and 25mm eyepiece that came with the telescope, which seem not to be the best of quality. I have a 32mm celestron omni plossl eyepiece, omni 2x Barlow and BST starguider 5mm eyepiece. I am wondering if anyone has any advice please to assist on this issue. Would any filters help? Thanks, Lucas
