Ideal for viewing lunar and planetary objects, the Orion Observer 90mm Equatorial Refractor Telescope is a great choice for beginning stargazers seeking a low-maintenance instrument that can deliver vivid, high-contrast images. Boasting a fully coated 90mm-diameter (3.5") front lens with a 900mm focal length, this refractor telescope excels at observing the Moon, planets, and brighter deep-sky objects.
Equipped with a sturdy equatorial mount and an extendable aluminum tripod, the Observer 90 EQ provides a stable platform for tracking celestial bodies as they move across the night sky. The mount's slow-motion controls allow for precise centering and smooth tracking using just one or both of the knobs.
The telescope comes bundled with two high-quality 1.25" Plossl eyepieces: a 25mm for low-power 36x views and a 10mm for high-magnification 90x observations. At 36x, you'll be able to clearly discern Jupiter's cloud bands and all four of its major moons, while Saturn's dazzling rings will appear sharp and distinct. Switching to the 10mm eyepiece boosts the power to 90x, revealing stunning details of the lunar surface and allowing you to witness the vast nebulosity of the Orion Nebula spanning nearly the entire field of view.
Equipped with a 6x30 crosshair finder scope, the Observer 90 EQ helps you locate your targets with ease. The 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser allows for dialing in the sharpest possible views, and the 90-degree star diagonal provides a comfortable observing angle.
Weighing under 17 lbs. in total, including the easily removable counterweight, this telescope is highly portable, making it easy to take outside for impromptu stargazing sessions. The optical tube can be quickly detached from the mount via the included dovetail mounting system, allowing you to transport the components separately.
Whether you're a beginner stargazer or an experienced amateur astronomer, the Orion Observer 90mm Equatorial Refractor Telescope offers an exciting gateway to the wonders of the solar system and beyond. Its sturdy equatorial mount, high-quality optics, and versatile accessories make it a fantastic choice for those seeking an accessible and capable telescope for their explorations of the night sky.
