This complete telescope kit is packed with everything you need to enjoy safe views of the Sun during the day and stunning views of the Moon, planets and starry skies at night. This Sun & Moon Kit includes the Orion StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor Telescope, a 4.1" ID Orion Deluxe Safety Film Solar Filter, a 5-pack of Orion Solar Eclipse Safe Viewing Glasses, the Orion 2017 Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Guide, Orion MoonMap 260, and an Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter and an Orion 2.1 Amp AC-to-12V DC Power Adapter for the telescope.

Featuring a long, 900mm focal length refractor optical tube with an f/11.2 focal ratio, the StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor delivers detailed views of the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects. The entire telescope setup weighs just 19 lbs. for easy transportability. Following a simple two-star alignment process, the Orion StarSeeker IV 80mm telescope can guide you to interesting sights on any clear night with its GoTo database of over 42,000 objects. A handy, built-in "Tour" mode feature of the included GoTo hand controller makes it easy for anyone to explore the wonders of starry skies, no matter how familiar or unfamiliar you are with the night sky. Once the StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor locates a target for you to explore, the single-arm altazimuth mount's internal motors will automatically track the object's apparent motion and keep it centered so you can enjoy the view as long as you wish.

4.1" ID Orion Deluxe Safety Film Solar Filter

Attach this Deluxe Safety Film Solar Filter to the StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor telescope to enjoy completely safe views of the Sun. The white-light Solar Filter features Baader AstroSolar Safety Film in a sturdy, clear-anodized aluminum cell. Orion Deluxe Safety Film Solar Filters display a natural, neutral white view of the Sun's surface. Once attached to a telescope, this filter provides sharp, scatter-free views of sunspots, solar eclipses, planetary transits, and other solar phenomena. Four 1/16" thick, and four 1/8" thick adhesive foam tabs are included with each filter to achieve a proper friction-fit with the telescope. A tight press fit is required for safe solar viewing.

Once the Sun sets, use the included Moon Filter for great lunar views.

After sunset, you'll love using the StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor telescope to explore the Moon and many other interesting targets in space. The included Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter helps improve your views of the Moon by reducing glare and enhancing contrast of lunar features like craters, mountains and valleys. The threaded filter is easy to install on the included 23mm and 10mm eyepieces.

The Orion StarSeeker IV 80mm GoTo Refractor Sun & Moon Kit also includes an Orion MoonMap 260 and a handy AC-to-DC Adapter. The included Orion MoonMap 260 is a useful reference map of the Moon's surface that will help the whole family learn the names and locations of more than 260 craters, mountains, valleys, "seas" and other interesting lunar features you can explore with your telescope. Use the AC-to-DC Adapter to power the motorized telescope using a household power outlet.

CAUTION: Never look at the Sun, either directly or through a telescope, without a professionally made protective solar filter installed that completely covers the front of the instrument, or permanent eye damage could result.
