There’s a whole lot of universe to explore with this pint-sized powerhouse of a telescope. The Orion SkyScanner BL 102mm TableTop Reflector will let you survey celestial sights like the Moon the Orion nebula the Pleiades star cluster and so much more. Its compact user-friendly design offers simple up-down and left-right motion “alt-azimuth”. Use your hand to point it then view. It’s that easy. The optical tube rotates smoothly in both axes and each has a tension adjustment knob to let you set just the right amount of friction. Optically the SkyScanner BL 102mm TableTop Reflector has a 102mm 4″ aperture primary mirror with a 640mm focal length f/6.3. That means you’ll get bright wide-field views of your celestial targets and they will be easier to locate than with longer focal length telescopes. The included interchangeable 25mm Kellner and 10mm Plossl eyepieces provide 26x and 64x magnifying power respectively. Keep the one you’re not using in the convenient eyepiece rack. These eyepieces are a definite cut above the typical cheapie 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. The non-magnifying red dot finder scope makes aiming the telescope a cinch. It shows the locations and names of over 260 features on the Moon such as craters mountains valleys and “seas”. Boasting great portability it even has a built-in carry handle and sharp optics the Orion SkyScanner BL102mm TableTop Reflector is an ideal beginner’s telescope capable of providing hours of family fun scanning the cosmos. Meets or exceeds California State Environmental Quality and Safety Regulations CARB 93120 Phase 2 Compliant.
