Here's an exceptional telescope for astrophotography that won't cost you big bucks! We've optimized the optics of our popular StarBlast 4.5 to give a fully illuminated field of view with the Orion StarShoot Deep-Space Imager and similar small-chip astronomical CCD cameras. The result is a compact imaging telescope with performance that will give pricey refractors a run for their money. It's simply the most affordable astrophotography-optimized scope on the market. With a 4.5" parabolic mirror and fast f/4 focal ratio, the StarBlast provides exquisite, high-quality images with no chromatic aberration and negligible coma. At 3.7 lbs it transports easily and doesn't require a heavy mount. The 1.25" focuser also accepts 1.25" eyepieces. One-year limited warranty.
