Orion SpaceProbe 3 Altazimuth Reflector

Affordable Scope That Will "Wow" Beginners of All Ages. Includes FREE Starry Night Software and SkyTheater DVD.

Young astronomy enthusiasts seeking an entrée to astronomical adventure will get it in spades with an Orion SpaceProbe 3. Great for all-around astronomical observing, these highly portable, uncomplicated scopes are just the right size and weight for kids, and just the right price for parents.

SpaceProbe 3 reflector telescopes make the night sky's treasures accessible right from the backyard. They will reveal Saturn's picturesque rings, Jupiter's moons, and the incredibly cratered terrain of our own Moon's surface. Their 3"-diameter (76mm) primary mirror also gathers enough light to snare the faint glows of some very exotic star clusters and nebulas!

The aluminum Newtonian optical tube features a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser to ensure sharp images in the eyepiece. Speaking of which, each scope now comes with two interchangeable Explorer II eyepieces (1.25")-25mm (28x) and 10mm (70x)-as well as a wide-field, EZ Finder II to aid in locating objects. An adjustable-height tripod with accessory tray and aluminum legs is also included standard.

The SpaceProbe 3 Altaz comes with an Altazimuth mount. The altazimuth mount is lightweight and easy to use with simple up/down left/right motions. (The SpaceProbe 3 is not recommended for terrestrial viewing as the images will not be right-side up.)

For the youngster or novice adult keen to discover what's "out there," the affordable SpaceProbe 3 reflector provides a wonderful opportunity! Focal length 700mm (f/9.2).
