Oh yeah! This is the big daddy of refractor telescopes. Superb light-gathering power, crystal clear views, and supreme magnification, here is the finest refractor you'll find anywhere. Plus, easy as pie to use and maintain, this is a great starter scope"
An incredibly balanced Day & Night Telescope. Here's the gift that will knock 'em over. Our large 90mm refractor telescope is a great first-telescope for the backyard stargazer who is ready to learn it all. If you're looking for a versatile telescope designed for both night-time space viewing and long distance daytime viewing, this 90mm telescope is the ideal instrument. Its large 90mm aperture, fully coated achromatic primary lens affords crystal clear space views at night, with 160 times the light gathering power of the naked eye. With a 1000mm focal length, combined with 3 included eyepieces and a 2x barlow lens, you'll enjoy a range of magnifications from 50x to 500x.
Enjoy Everything in Space. With this telescope, your eyes will pop out when you look at the moon -- the detail of the surface is incredible. You'll enjoy viewing Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. In dark skies you can see distant nebulae and galaxies. Plus, with a 45 degree angle prism included, you can use the scope during the daytime for right-side up viewing of the most distant earth-bound objects.
Full Size Tripod Included. This telescope comes with an aluminum tripod that is fully adjustable. Even if you're taller, you'll be able to to observe the stars without having to crouch down in an uncomfortable position. A handy accessory tray on the tripod makes it easy to keep track of extra eyepieces. With the equatorial mounting, the telescope is designed to move in any direction -- making it possible to track the movements of stars as the track across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale in conjunction to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope in any direction with a smooth, steady motion. Be sure to add an optional single axis or dual axis motor drive to set up your telescope to track stars and planets as the move through the night sky.
A Favorite for Dads & Grads. This telescope is a great gift for grads, dads, or anyone with an interest in space and astronomy. This scope is serious enough to give anyone a real "pros" view of the stars, but without breaking the bank. And, since its a refractor (lenses), it is a zero maintenance instrument . . . you'll only need to keep the lens clean to keep it performing in tip-top shape.
