Another Orion-designed original, the AstroView 100 is destined to become one of the most popular refractors on the market today. Its intermediate focal length of 600mm (f/6) gives it more magnifying power than "short tube" refractors but a wider field of view (a full 2.1° with the included 25mm Plossl) than long-tube designs. Its fully multi-coated 100mm (3.9") achromatic lens provides ample light grasp for resolving star clusters and nebular clouds as well as surface details on planets. The aluminum 2" focuser allows use of optional 2" accessories for breathtaking wide-field views.


The serious beginner and intermediate-level stargazer will appreciate the unflinching stability of the AstroView equatorial mount and its smooth tracking capabilities, manually or with optional electronic drive. What's more, with its built-in 1/4"-20 adapter you can pop the telescope tube on a camera tripod for terrestrial viewing.


Comes complete with polar-alignment scope and other great accessories. We bet the new AstroView 100 is just your size! Comes with one-year limited warranty.
