Orion StarBlast 4.5 EQ Reflector - Telescope - f/4.0 - reflector Feature

  • A wide-field reflector telescope with enough aperture to get great views of the Moon, planets, and many bright deep-sky objects
  • A fantastic general-purpose astronomical telescope - great for the beginner to "test the waters" with mirror optics
  • Works amazingly well with the included Expanse telescope eyepieces which yield a very wide 66-degree apparent field of view -
  • Fast f/4 optics and a short focal length provide a very wide field of view, making it easy to locate celestial objects
  • The EQ-1 equatorial telescope mount makes tracking night-sky objects extremely easy using the included slow-motion controls.
  • Also includes an EZ Finder II reflex sifght for easy aiming, 15mm and 6mm 1.25" Expanse eyepieces,
  • Collimation cap, Starry Night software, and more! Your first look at the Andromeda galaxy will knock your socks off!
Considering how many adults have told us they love our StarBlast "mini Dob," we weren't surprised that some of them suggested we offer the StarBlast optical tube on a full-size telescope mount. Sounded like a good idea to us. So here it is, the StarBlast 4.5 EQ. It's bound to become a favorite of both adults and adolescents alike. It combines the much-heralded StarBlast wide-field (f/4.0) parabolic optics with a sturdy, adjustable height EQ-1 equatorial tracking mount. So if you're an adult (or a parent) looking for an exceptional starter scope on a tracking mount, or an experienced amateur astronomer seeking a more portable alternative to your "light bucket," then get a StarBlast 4.5 EQ. The name says it all!
