Product Description

Product Description
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. 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. 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars adverage scope, December 28, 2008

By	Dawn B. Roy (Chesterfield, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this scope from the Green group LLC for a good price. Shipping was quick and directions that they sent via email were very good. When actually using the scope I found it hard to site the finders scope due to the instability of the bracket. I also so floaters on every object that I looked. These are defects in the eye that if the scope has eyepieces that are cheap and not coated with a antireflective coating, will reflect the images making viewing poor. The eyepieces, barlow and dg are very cheap. I ended up buying 3 new set of eyepieces, barlow lens and DG and they floaters are gone. The refractor tube and the tripod and mount are fine-just the accessories they give you are cheap. After replacing these the scope was no cheaper then a name brand one of better quality. My advice is to stick with a name brand with a web site and real support.
