Another Orion-designed original, the Orion AstroView 100mm EQ Refractor Telescope is one of our most popular refractor telescopes, thanks to its compact, versatile design and affordable price.

With an intermediate focal length of 600mm, the f/6 Orion AstroView 100mm EQ Refractor has more magnifying power than "short tube" refractors but shows you a wider field of view (a full 2.1° with the included 25mm Plossl) than long-tube, longer focal length telescopes. The 100mm diameter (3.9”) fully multi-coated achromatic objective lens provides ample light grasp for resolving sharp views of deep space curiosities like star clusters and nebular clouds. The AstroView 100mm EQ Refractor also excels at viewing mountains and craters on the Moon and surface details on planets. 

The telescope’s 2” aluminum rack and pinion focuser allows use of optional 2" accessories for breathtaking wide-field views. A handy included adapter steps the focuser down to work with 1.25” accessories and higher-power 1.25” telescope eyepieces. Two 1.25" Sirius Plossl telescope eyepieces are included, one with 25mm focal length and one 10mm. The included eyepieces provide magnifications of 24x power and 60x power respectively, for a variety of views right out of the box. The included 6x30 achromatic finder scope makes it easy to aim the AstroView 100mm EQ Refractor precisely anywhere in the sky. 

The serious beginner and intermediate-level stargazer will appreciate the unflinching stability of the included Orion AstroView equatorial (EQ) mount and its smooth tracking capabilities, whether utilized manually with the included slow-motion control cables, or with an optional electronic drive (motor drive sold separately). The AstroView mount comes complete with a polar axis alignment scope for quick and precise polar alignment. The adjustable-height tripod features a removable accessory tray so you can keep all your idle telescope eyepieces and accessories within arm’s reach.  What's more, the telescope optical tube sports a built-in 1/4"-20 adapter so you can pop the AstroView 100mm Refractor onto a field or camera tripod for comfortable terrestrial viewing.

We bet the affordable and versatile Orion AstroView 100mm EQ Refractor Telescope is just the right size for you and your family!
