From the brand, the Orion StarBlast 90mm AZ Travel Refractor Telescope Kit is an all-purpose telescope that is as easy to take on vacations as it is to use right from the back yard. It is a quality 90mm achromatic refractor telescope outfitted with a full-length stainless steel tripod and two-way pan head as well as a host of great accessories -- all of which fit neatly into a rugged carry case with both shoulder and hand straps for convenient transport and storage. Maximum tripod height is 54.5" with legs fully extended.
This enhanced 90mm refractor telescope kit is designed for both daytime viewing and nighttime stargazing. To enhance your viewing experience, the kit includes all of the accessories from the base model (10282) plus an Orion Barlow Lens, Orion RedBeam Mini LED Flashlight, and an Orion Star Target Planipshere.
The Orion Star Target planisphere is a useful star chart wheel for any day of the year. This circular star map lets you dial-in the month and day you're observing the sky, so you can see exactly which constellations and stars will be visible if skies are clear. Using the Orion Star Target is a great way for starters to plan their first stargazing sessions with the telescope, since you'll know just where to point the telescope!
The Orion Shorty Barlow Lens can double the power of any 1.25" telescope eyepiece. The doublet lens system is multi-coated for excellent transmission, and the internal housing is baffled to eliminate unwanted reflections and increase contrast. The Barlow lens is threaded for use with 1.25" Orion telescope eyepiece filters.
The RedBeam Mini LED flashlight is designed to help you see in the dark without disrupting your dark-adapted vision. This makes it easier to navigate around the telescope and consult star charts or other materials during your observing sessions.
The telescope, tripod, and all accessories pack conveniently into a rugged carry case for travel anywhere. The kit includes two quality Kellner eyepieces (not cheapie "H" eyepieces like with most other brands) for 20x and 56x magnification. It also includes Orion's MoonMap 260 to help you identify some 260 lunar surface features including craters, mountain ranges, "seas" and more.
The Orion StarBlast 90mm AZ Travel Refractor Telescope Kit is an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a versatile and portable telescope setup. With its high-quality optics, sturdy tripod, and extensive accessory suite, this kit provides everything you need to start exploring the wonders of the night sky or daytime viewing.
