Orion astroview 90mm refractor planetary telescope - The virtue of a refractor, as any telescope enthusiast will tell you, resides in its pure image clarity. The only drawback of having a refractor is always the cost: refractors are more expensive per inch of aperture compared to any other type of telescope. While this is still true, continual advancements in precision lens production technology are lowering prices.
In the case of our spectacular Orion AstroView 90mm Eq Refractor Telescope, it's a long way down. This powerful telescope is reasonably priced without sacrificing quality. The telescope is a well-built one that any new or expert backyard astronomer would enjoy from the very first night out.
With a 910mm focal length and a 90mm aperture, the Orion AstroView 90mm telescope is a planetary powerhouse. The f/10 AstroView telescope provides breathtaking views of the planets and the Moon. The AstroView 90 produces razor-sharp images of the stony lunar surface, with craters as well as mountainous areas visible in clear, high-contrast detail when pointed at our nearest neighbor in orbit, the Moon. As shadows around the terminator captivate your eyes, you'll be transfixed by the craggy relief of the Moon's surface. On a bright evening, Jupiter's cloud banding, as well as all four of its large Galilean moons, can be seen clearly. The telescope can also provide jaw-dropping observations of Saturn and its beautiful rings, as well as sightings of Saturn's largest moon (Titan), depending on the time of year.

The AstroView Equatorial Refractor Telescope, with its 90mm aperture, may also provide excellent views of numerous deep-sky events. Our iconic deep-sky object, the Orion Nebula, appears as beautiful blue pinpoints encircled by a gorgeous area of greenish gas when viewed through the 25mm Plossl eyepiece, which provides 36x power magnification. When you use the accompanying 10mm eyepiece to increase the magnification to 91x, the nebula will sprout foggy wings that cover nearly the whole field of vision!
Start exploring the night sky with the bundled 25mm Sirius Plossl Eyepiece.
When you use it with the AstroView 90mm refractor telescope, the included 1.25-inch Orion 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece delivers a 36-power vision. The moderate magnification of this eyepiece is an excellent approach to begin investigating eye-catching objects in the glittering night sky. The 25mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece produces highly clear images with impressively high contrast thanks to its wide 52° apparent field of vision. The vivid, clear images of objects such as the Moon's cratered surface and more will wow you! The vivid, clear images of objects such as the Moon's cratered surface and more will wow you!
Observe closely with the accompanying 10mm Sirius Plossl Eyepiece.
Use the accompanying 10mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece to examine objects with greater magnification. The 10mm Plossl delivers a powerful 91x view with a 52° actual field of view when placed into the AstroView 90mm refractor telescope, allowing you to examine intriguing objects more closely. We recommend starting with the lesser 25mm Plossl and then upgrading to the 10 mm ocular to increase the scope's visual power.

To comfortably see the night sky, use the provided 90° star diagonal.
The telescope's light path is "bent" by a diagonal, allowing you to enjoy the observation without necessarily contorting yourself into odd postures to stare into the eyepiece. The AstroView 90 mm refractor's 90° star diagonal puts the eyepiece you use in a favorable position for evening stargazing of the stars above.
The accompanying 6x30 finderscope will assist you in precisely aiming the telescope.
You can use the 6x30 finder scope to precisely point the AstroView 90mm telescope onto objects in the sky including the Moon, brilliant planets, nebulas, and the star clusters after a simple alignment procedure. Simply gaze through the finder scope then move the telescope till the cross hairs are focused on the object you would like to observe once it is aligned with the telescope. It will be right there if you look through the telescope!

The EQ-2 equatorial mount that comes with it provides steady support and slow-motion control.
The Orion EQ-2 equatorial mount supports the AstroView 90 mm refractor, allowing for quick manual monitoring of celestial objects as they seem to move through the night sky. Any object will remain centered in the telescope eyepiece with a minor adjustment to the equatorial mount's Right Ascension slow-motion cable. You can also utilize an extra electronic motor drive to track any centred object more automatically and hands-free (you can purchase the drives separately).
The adjustable tripod on the AstroView 90mm refractor allows you to set the scope to a convenient height for a lengthy night of solitary stargazing or modify the height all through the evening for family astronomy fun time. There's even an accessory tray that attaches to the tripod for easy gear storage while you are out in the field.
At an unbelievable cheap price, the Orion AstroView 90mm Telescope will offer you and your loved ones with many good times of heavenly pleasure. It's easy to carry outside for spontaneous observing sessions because the complete telescope weighs only 23.7 lbs.
