Orion SkyScanner BL135mm Dobsonian Reflector Telescope
Description
The Orion SkyScanner BL135mm Dobsonian Reflector Telescope's big 135mm (5.3") mirror collects gobs of light, which accounts for those bright images we mentioned. You'll see the Moon's crater-scarred surface and the Orion Nebula's gaseousghostliness in amazing detail, not to mention hundreds of other celestial gems.The optical tube glides up and down, left and right on its sturdy Dobsonian base. It's so easy to operate - you just point the tube and view. The red dot scope will help you zero in on your target. There are no complicated gears, counterweights, lockinglevers, or tripod legs to deal with as there are with many beginner telescopes. The whole family can get in on the action from the very first night out with the SkyScanner BL135mm Dobsonian. The optical tube detaches from the base with two hand knobs,making for easier two-piece transport if desired. The base even has a convenient carry handle.The included interchangeable 25mm Kellner and 10mm Plossl eyepieces provide low-power 44x and high-power 110x magnification, respectively. Keep the one you're not using in the convenient eyepiece rack. These eyepieces are a definite cut above the typicalcheapie jobs found in most competing beginner telescopes. And their barrels are threaded to accept optional Orion 1.25" filters.Also included is a 3x Barlow lens, which triples the magnification of any eyepiece it's used with. It's a great tool for getting in tight on your observing target. And to aid in your viewing of our favorite celestial object - the Moon - we include theOrion MoonMap 260. It shows the locations and names of over 260 features on the Moon such as craters, mountains, valleys, and "seas".Base weighs 23 lbs. 10 oz.
