Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector Telescope - Compact & Portable Beginner Astronomy Telescope for Adult and Family Stargazing

The Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector telescope is an ideal entry-level reflector telescope that offers big optics, hassle-free operation, and grab-and-go portability. With its substantial, 100mm (3.9") aperture parabolic glass primary mirror boasting a 400mm focal length, this compact telescope can provide users with gorgeous, detailed views of the night sky.

The SkyScanner 100 is perfect for beginning stargazers, as it can be easily set up on a table in the backyard or even on the hood of a car in the backcountry. Thanks to its small stature, it makes a great grab-and-go telescope for road trip adventures, camp-outs, and trips to the local park. The altazimuth base can be easily attached to any field tripod equipped with a standard 3/8" threaded post, allowing for comfortable viewing of the heavens.

The telescope features a rack-and-pinion focuser that makes it easy to dial in sharp focus, and the included 4-element 20mm and 10mm eyepieces provide 20x and 40x magnifying power, respectively. Both eyepieces have threaded barrels to allow for the use of Orion filters, including the glare-reducing Moon filter that comes with the telescope. The EZ Finder II red dot scope helps with finding your target object, and Orion's MoonMap 260 is included as a wonderful reference to help users identify some 260 lunar features as they observe them.

With its ample 100mm (3.9") parabolic primary mirror optics, the SkyScanner 100 can drink in faint light to reveal lunar craters, planets, and deep-space nebulas in sharp detail. The telescope's intuitive swivel base makes maneuvering and pointing the telescope easy for everyone in the family, making it an excellent choice for beginner astronomers.

Weighing just 5.3 lbs fully assembled and standing 16" tall when aimed at the zenith, the Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector telescope is an affordable, portable, and easy-to-use telescope that can provide hours of family fun exploring the cosmos.
