Item #  27187

Our pint-sized power performer StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Tripod Bundle will provide you and your family with pleasing, high-power views of the heavens whether there's a sturdy table nearby or not!

This complete telescope bundle includes everything that normally comes with our popular StarMax 90mm TableTop Mak-Cass telescope, plus a very powerful 6.3mm eyepiece and a sturdy field tripod. This ultra-compact Mak-Cass gives surprisingly big views for an instrument of its modest size, making it an elegant first telescope or a great grab-and-go second telescope!

The long, 1250mm (f/13.8) focal length gives the StarMax 90 TableTop some serious magnifying power so you can enjoy high-resolution, close-up views of the planets, Moon and many brighter deep-sky objects. The 90mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain collects over 25% more light than its GoScope 80 refractor cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor telescope. So you'll be able to enjoy bigger, brighter views of planetary delights such as Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons, not to mention gorgeous high-power views of the Moon's interesting crater fields, valleys and mountain ranges.  

The included Orion EZ Finder II red-dot sight makes it "EZ" to aim the telescope.

Following a simple alignment procedure that parents can help with, you can use the EZ Finder II sight to accurately aim the StarMax 90mm TableTop Mak-Cass telescope at objects in the sky like the Moon and bright planets. Once aligned with the telescope, just turn on the EZ Finder II and peer through the sight's small circular viewing window so you see the red dot, and move the telescope until the red dot is on the object you want to see to place it in the telescope's field of view.

Start stargazing with the 25mm eyepiece for 50-power views.

The included 25mm eyepiece provides a 50-power view in the StarMax 90mm Mak-Cass. The 25mm is a great eyepiece to use first when you stargaze with the telescope each night, since it provides a larger, less magnified window of night sky for you to view. This lower magnification makes it easy to find objects to explore in the night sky.

Increase magnifying power with the 10mm eyepiece.

After you've scanned the skies with the 25mm eyepiece in the StarMax 90mm telescope, take a closer look at interesting objects by swapping out the 25mm with 10mm eyepiece to boost magnification from 50x all the way up to 125x. The more powerful view in the 10mm focal length eyepiece reveals details such as craters and mountains on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, and brighter moons of Jupiter.

Take an even closer look with the included 6.3mm E-Series eyepiece.

The value-packed Orion StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Tripod Bundle also includes a 6.3mm Orion E-Series eyepiece, which provides a very powerful, 198x view in the 1250mm focal length 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. Use this extremely high-power ocular to go after high-magnification views of lunar crater details, bright planets, star clusters, and more.

Use the included 90° star diagonal for comfortable views of the night sky.

A diagonal "bends" the light path of a telescope so you can enjoy the view without having to contort yourself into awkward positions to peer into the eyepiece. The 90° star diagonal that comes with the StarMax 90mm TableTop Telescope Bundle places the eyepiece you're using in a comfortable position for nighttime stargazing of the skies above.

No table nearby? No problem! Use the included tripod to observe anywhere.

This value-packed bundle includes a handy field tripod, which is adjustable with a height range of 20" to 34.5" so you can position the StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope comfortably for viewing without a table. The tripod also features an extendable elevator column for crowd-pleasing performance.

This compact, yet satisfyingly capable, Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope weighs 9.25 lbs. assembled (including tripod, diagonal, eyepiece and finder).

Meets or exceeds all California State Environmental Quality & Safety Regulations (CARB 93120 Phase 2 Compliant).
