The altazimuth mount is lightweight and easy to use. To aim it, simply move it up or down or left or right. An adjustable, aluminum tripod with accessory tray is also included. This telescope comes with the useful Orion MoonMap 260 to help you identify the interesting lunar features like craters and valleys you can see through the telescope.

This petite reflector telescope is a great choice for beginners who are curious about space and the stars. The telescope's 3" aperture (or diameter) gathers a good amount of light from the night sky, for impressively bright and detailed views of celestial wonders. The whole family will want to join in the fun of seeing thrilling views of the Moon, bright planets, and star clusters seen through the SpaceProbe II 76mm AZ telescope. This is a genuine reflector telescope that will help foster a lifetime of appreciation for science and astronomy.

Quality Eyepieces

Each Orion SpaceProbe II 76mm AZ Reflector includes two anti-reflection coated 1.25" Kellner telescope eyepieces, a 25mm and a 10mm, for two different magnification options right out of the box. The 25mm eyepiece will yield 28x power magnification in the SpaceProbe II 76mm while the 10mm eyepiece boosts the magnification up to 70x power for closer looks. These 1.25" barrel eyepieces are better and more versatile than smaller .965" eyepieces you might find with department store telescopes.

Great telescope for beginners! Low price.

Great telescope for beginners! Low price.
Had some trouble calibrating this telescope when I first got it since I'm NOT an expert on this stuff. Telling me which thing to adjust doesn't help since I don't know the names of all the parts. Anyways, once a co-worker calibrated it for me, it's been an amazing (although touchy) telescope since. Make tiny adjustments and you can see a lot. We've caught saturn before, and can even make out the rings! Amazing shots of the moon too. I use my phone camera through the lens and can capture some great photos with enough patience trying to get it aligned with the telescope lens.
Thank you for your feedback
