Featuring a large optical tube with a 102 mm (4\") aperture, this telescope provides sharp views of our Moon, as well as brighter deep-sky targets and star clusters. This refractor is not designed for astrophotography, although the EQ-13 mount does allow for accurate manual tracking of the night sky. So, with a simple smartphone adapter (sold separately), you can easily capture quick photos and videos of your observations. It's not designed to observe dim deep-sky targets under light-polluted skies, and the 700 mm focal length does not provide enough magnification to resolve much surface detail of the planets, but it can resolve Jupiter along with its four brightest moons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll See and Why It Works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe AstroView 102mm EQ Refractor comes complete with a robust EQ-13 equatorial mount with two slow-motion controls and a sturdy steel tripod with an eyepiece accessory tray. The kit includes two Plossl eyepieces (25 mm and 10 mm), which are well-suited for exploring bright, wide-field targets, such as the Orion Nebula (M42), while also delivering striking views of the lunar surface. A copy of the Orion MoonMap 260 is included to help identify lunar features. The 90° diagonal that delivers comfortable images, and the red dot finder makes it easy to locate targets. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"oriontelescopes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51397454954792,"sku":"55028","price":349.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8886\/7880\/files\/AstroView_102_mm_EQ_Refractor_Telescope.jpg?v=1791494459","url":"https:\/\/www.telescope.com\/products\/orion-astroview-102mm-eq-refractor-telescope","provider":"oriontelescopes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
