The easy to use FunScope Astro Dazzle Reflector features a uniquely decorated, rolled steel telescope tube adorned with an Orion-designed, exclusive collage of actual celestial photographs of some of the most famous objects in space.

The FunScope Astro Dazzle is a full-fledged telescope that's great for all-around observing of the night sky. With a sophisticated, 4.5"-aperture parabolic primary mirror and 500mm focal length, this reflector telescope collects a lot of light for wonderful wide-field views. This kid-friendly reflector is a great telescope for young stargazers to use with adult supervision for jaw-dropping views of the Moon, planets, and even brighter star clusters and nebulas of deep space.  

This reflector telescope's delightfully compact design and light weight of just 10.9 lbs. makes it easy to transport, while its sturdy swivel-base can be set on the ground, on a picnic table, or other similar surface for comfortable use. The base's simple up/down, left/right altazimuth motion makes it easy to point the telescope, and to slowly track celestial objects as they appear to move across the sky.

This complete telescope arrives with a pre-assembled swivel base and a great set of accessories with everything you need to start exploring the heavens right out of the box!

Beautifully decorated telescope tube features full-color photos of objects in space.

The FunScope's unique optical tube features a dazzling astrophoto collage wrapped around the entire telescope tube.

This vibrant telescope is an instant attention-grabber that's sure to inspire stargazing adventures night after night.

Includes two 1.25" Kellner telescope eyepieces for different magnification options.

Use the two Kellner eyepieces that come with the FunScope Astro Dazzle 4.5" Reflector to scan the skies at two different magnifications. Start exploring with the included 25mm eyepiece and the 20x view it provides. When you want to take a closer look, insert the included 10mm eyepiece to bump magnification up to 50x for more powerful views. The telescope's 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser accepts other interchangeable 1.25" eyepieces to achieve different viewing magnifications (additional eyepieces sold separately).

The included Orion EZ Finder II red-dot sight makes aiming the telescope nice and easy.

Following a simple alignment procedure that parents can help with, you can use the EZ Finder II sight to accurately aim the FunScope Astro Dazzle reflector 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. Look in the telescope, and there it is!

With locations and names of over 260 features on the Moon such as craters, mountains, valleys, "seas" and more, the included Orion MoonMap 260 is a great tool for beginning astronomers.
