One of the best telescope for kids to come along in years! -- The compact size, innovative design and point-and-view simplicity of Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 make it the best telescope for kids to come along in years. -- Of course, adults will love using it, too! The scope's 4.5" (114mm) mirror, housed in an enameled steel tube, gathers 260% more starlight than a 60mm refractor, which means you can see a lot more celestial objects in greater detail, from Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud belts to hundreds of star clusters, nebulas and galaxies. -- The focal length is 910mm (f/8). The XT4.5's sturdy "Dobsonian" base features Teflon/Nylon bearings so the tube effortlessly glides up and down, left and right. -- The XT4.5 package includes a 6x26 correct-image finder scope and two fully coated 1.25" Sirius Plssl eyepieces: 25mm (36x) and 10mm (91x). Weighs 17.5 lbs. One year limited warranty. |
