You’ll see the Moon’s crater-scarred surface and the Orion Nebula’s gaseous ghostliness 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 locking levers 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 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. 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. Optical tube weighs 8 lbs. 15 oz. Meets or exceeds California State Environmental Quality and Safety Regulations CARB 93120 Phase 2 Compliant.
