I took this photo right as a storm was starting to roll in.
The Orion StarBlast 4.5 EQ Reflector is a perfect family telescope. The short focal length allows you to see more of the sky, which makes it easier for beginners to find objects. The adjustable tripod makes this a good choice for the whole family.
Want one of the most affordable telescopes for astrophotography? The Orion StarBlast 4.5 works great with small-chip CCD cameras to provide clear images with short exposure times. A good light weight, very portable option for any astrophotographer.
