"Clear and Crisp Views with Minor Size Drawback

The Orion refractor delivers stunning views of the night sky with superb clarity and sharpness. As a result of using this product, I found that deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae are easily discernible through the powerful lens. The compact size allows for easy portability, although it may be a bit small for some users. Overall, this refractor is a fantastic choice for any stargazer looking for a high-quality scope.

Pros
  • High-quality optics for clear and bright views of celestial objects.
Cons
  • The altazimuth mount lacks the precision and stability needed for advanced astrophotography.

What good is a rifle scope that cannot focus properly. Not acceptable for an experienced stargazer.

Great at 20x, bigger and the focuser becomes terribly useless with any tricks. It's pretty disappointing, but what do you expect from a cheap scope? If the focuser had had a better design, it would have gotten 4 stars. Such a shame. At 150mm max.

Pros
  • Camera and Photo
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Excellent refractor (but parts are missing)

This refractor telescope is ideal for beginners or intermediate users. Its image is fairly clear, it has multiple built-in eyepieces, and it can see some planets. (I suggest looking at some of the gas giants, you can just pick apart their moons and rings). Note: I suggest using a gyroscope based phone app to find anything that really helps. It comes with a carrying case, which makes it very convenient to take with you on the go.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Exterior
