Product Description

This bantam-sized telescope outfit lets you explore the heavens from anywhere your travels take you. The low-profile mount features three thread-on 7-3/4" legs that make it ideal for use on any raised surface-car trunk, picnic table, you name it! And it won't hog all the closet space on cloudy nights. The Apex 90mm tube assembly couples firmly to the mount with the included 1/4"-20 adapter. During daylight hours you can quickly remove the scope and mount it on a camera tripod for land viewing. The correct-image 45-deg prism diagonal provides an upright, nonreversed view through the 25mm (50x) Sirius Plossl eyepiece. The 6x20 correct-image crosshair finder scope helps in locating viewing subjects. Dual slow-motion controls allow manual tracking of celestial objects. Optional electronic DC drives are also available for automatic tracking. Includes padded case for the tube assembly. Weighs 14 lbs. One-year limited warranty.

This review is from: Orion Apex 90mm Min-EQ Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope (Electronics)
It's a small telescope, with an stable table equatorial EQ1 mount, amazing optics

This is a level 1 telescope: beginner telescope

The finder is not comfortable to use, then I replace with Orion EZ finder deluxe reflex sight. It's so easy to align the telescope with this

I can see Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mars (a small red spot). the Moon and the Sun with Orion Solar Filter for StarMax 90, Apex 90, Meade ETX-90

It's useful to add Orion 1.25" Dielectric Mirror Star Diagonal and Orion Tri-Mag 3x Barlow Lens 1.25"

The seller " [...] ", send their products with double packed, but arrives safe without damage.
