Orion SpaceProbe 3 Altazimuth Reflector.
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).
