If there isn’t a table at your favorite observing spot, we now provide our Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector Telescope bundled with a sturdy field tripod so you can scan the skies anywhere! The included field tripod is adjustable with a height range of 20″ to 34.5″ so you can position the SkyScanner 100mm reflector for comfortable views in the field. The tripod also features an extendable elevator column for crowd-pleasing performance. The Orion SkyScanner 100mm Reflector and Tripod Bundle also includes a high-power 6.3mm eyepiece, which provides a powerful, 63x view in the 400mm focal length SkyScanner reflector for high-magnification views of lunar crater details, bright planets, and more. Although perfect for beginning stargazers, the Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector telescope is not a toy! It is just the right size – large enough to see night sky objects yet compact enough to be easily carried outside. The 100mm aperture reflector telescope’s wide field of vision is ideal for observing the Moon and even the spectacular rings of Saturn without having to leave town. Under darker, more remote skies where the included field tripod will come in handy, the SkyScanner has enough light-gathering power to reveal objects as deep as the Milky Way. Complete with 100mm parabolic primary mirror optics made of glass not plastic, three 1.25″ eyepieces, and an EZ finder II reflex sight, this 100mm reflector collects over 200 times more light than the unaided eye!

Our 6 inch aperture imaging reflector is loaded with useful features useful features to help you capture high-resolution images of the night sky. With very fast f/4 optics and 94% reflectivity coatings, the Orion 6 inch Newtonian Astrograph will help you acquire outstanding high-resolution images of deep-sky objects with delightfully short exposure times so you can get great results in less time. What’s more, this compact imaging specialist is conveniently lightweight at just 12.7 lbs., so it doesn’t require a huge mount to support it.

Its 6 inch parabolic primary mirror has 610mm of focal length, making the fast f/4 Newtonian an ideal wide-field astrophotography telescope. A substantial 63mm minor axis secondary mirror provides excellent field illumination to CCD and DSLR cameras for efficient astrophotography performance. Both primary and secondary mirrors boast enhanced reflectivity (94%) aluminum coatings with a protective silicon dioxide (quartz) overcoat.

To optimize contrast and avoid off-axis light intrusion near the front of the telescope, the dual-speed 2 inch linear-bearing design Crayford focuser has been installed a full 7 inch back from the front of the compact 22.5 inch long reflector optical tube. For consistent results every night, an Orion-exclusive steel reinforcing plate underneath the focuser eliminates flexure, even with heavy cameras and other imaging gear attached. As with any fast Newtonian reflector telescope, an optional coma corrector is recommended to eliminate inherent coma for optimized imaging performance.

The value-packed StarSeeker IV 150mm GoTo Reflector Telescope Kit is a great setup for beginning amateur astronomers since it’s loaded with so many great accessories and features a complete GoTo system. The Orion StarSeeker IV 150mm GoTo telescope presents a winning combination of motorized object-location technology and great optical performance at an unbelievably low price. This smart GoTo telescope will lead you and your family on a guided tour of the stars on any clear night. Featuring a large reflector optical tube with a 750mm focal length and moderate f/5.0 focal ratio, this telescope collects a ton of light with its 6″ aperture, parabolic reflecting optics for very bright, wide-field views. The entire telescope setup weighs 22.3 lbs. for easy transport. Following a simple two-star alignment process, the Orion StarSeeker IV 150mm telescope can guide you to interesting sights on any clear night with its GoTo database of over 42,000 objects. A handy, built-in “Tour” mode feature of the included GoTo hand controller makes it easy for anyone to explore the wonders of starry skies. The StarSeeker IV 150mm GoTo Refractor Telescope Kit comes with a great selection of useful accessories.The included 23mm wide-field eyepiece provides 32.6x magnification in the 150mm Reflector optical tube, and the 10mm ocular yields higher, 75x magnification views through the telescope for closer inspections of starry skies. The Orion EZ Finder II reflex sight makes it “EZ” to center alignment stars. The included Shorty 2x Barlow can be used to double the power of each included eyepiece. Use the Moon Filter that comes with the telescope kit for great lunar views. The Orion MoonMap 260 makes it easy to learn about craters, spacecraft landing sites, and more! This complete telescope kit also includes an AC-to-DC Adapter so you can keep your StarSeeker IV telescope’s motors powered from a 110-volt wall outlet.

It’s no wonder customers heap 5-star ratings on this gentle giant. For not only does its jumbo-sized 10″ optics and uncomplicated design bring a “new level of joy to simple observing,” as raved Astronomy magazine, but it’s also the most affordable quality 10″ Dobsonian on the market. The SkyQuest XT10 Classic Dobsonian telescope isn’t just a good bang for the buck, it’s a supernova of telescope value! Our SkyQuest XT10 Classic Dobsonian gives you the deep-space thrills without the deep-pocket frills. The XT10 Classic Dob come fully equipped for adventure. The XT10 features an expertly figured parabolic mirror housed in an enameled steel optical tube. The tube rides on a stable Dobsonian base that allows easy point-and-view navigation and has a convenient carrying handle. A 2″ Crayford focuser, EZ Finder II aiming device, 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece (1.25″), and quick-collimation cap are all standard equipment. Enjoy the fantastic views with the Orion SkyQuest XT10 Classic Dobsonian Telescope – and boost your viewing magnification with the included Beginner Barlow Kit! The included Orion MoonMap 260 is a useful reference map of the Moon’s surface that will help the whole family learn the names and locations of more than 260 craters, mountains, valleys, “seas” and other interesting lunar features you can explore with your telescope.

Product description

Orion Dobsonians have always been known for superb optical and mechanical quality, wonderful ease of use, and remarkably affordable prices. One other thing they – and almost all other Dobs on the market – have had in common: you pushed the telescope to your observing target by hand. Until now. Orion is pleased to herald another giant leap in Dobsonian evolution with the introduction of the SkyQuest XTg series of fully motor driven GoTo Dobsonians. Now, pointing a Dob to even the most elusive of NGC curiosities is as easy as pushing a button or two on the XTg Dobsonians’ illuminated hand controller. High-torque servo motors guided by two pairs of high-resolution encoders then slew the telescope right to your object of interest – any of over 42,000 objects in the GoTo controller?s database. No more nudging the telescope tube continuously to keep the object from drifting out of the field of view, either. The XTg automatically tracks the object’s motion, keeping it centered in the eyepiece while you savor the view. What’s more, the closed-loop electronics of the XTg let you move the telescope manually – or endure the accidental bump – without losing orientation for accurate, automated GoTo pointing!
