Product description
Although perfect for beginning stargazers, this tabletop reflector telescope is not a toy! With its substantial, 100mm aperture parabolic primary mirror boasting a 400mm focal length, the compact Orion StarSeeker 100mm TableTop Reflector telescope will amaze you and your family with gorgeous, detailed views of the night sky. With this capable reflector, you can study the Moon's cratered surface in detail, exploring highland mountains and vast, planar lunar seas of dark material. Bright planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars shine bright in the SkyScanner 100mm Reflector, even when viewing from urban locations with mediocre seeing conditions. On especially clear evenings when viewing from areas with dark skies, the pint-sized Orion SkyScanner telescope can gather enough light for views of open and globular star clusters, bright cloudy nebulas, and even a few distant galaxies. The SkyScanner includes two 1.25 inch eyepieces for magnification variety right out of the box. The included 20mm eyepiece provides moderate 20x power magnification, while the 10mm eyepiece boosts the view up to 40x power for higher magnification observations. Both eyepieces accept 1.25 inch Orion eyepiece filters (sold separately) so you can enhance views easily with specialty filters. An included Orion EZ Finder II reflex sight makes aiming the SkyScanner nice and easy. After a simple alignment procedure, simply place the EZ Finder II's red-dot on top of the area or object you want to see, and it will appear in the reflector telescope's field of view. The Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector is just the right size - large enough to see night sky objects yet compact enough to sit on a desk. Thanks to its small stature, the SkyScanner is a great grab-and-go telescope for visual adventures as close as the backyard table, or as far as your favorite remote dark sky site.

This was my first telescope and im excited to upgrade.
Very easy to set up. The way its shipped is incredibly protective. I still use the box to bring it on road trips.

Relativement simple, léger et mobile.
Se monte aisément sur un trépied.
Sans autre lentille que celles fournies avec l'appareil il m'a été possible de voir Saturne et ses anneaux ( en très petit mais identifiable )

La calidad de de la imagen me parece bastante buena dentro de mis expectativas básicas, mucho más definidas que mi experiencia anterior.
Eso sí, con las ópticas que trae de serie se ven muy bien los cráteres de la luna, pero para planetas se queda corto. Hay gente que ha añadido un visor de 4mm para ganar en aumentos, en cuanto tenga oportunidad tengo que probar (aunque si he entendido bien las instrucciones, los oculares que trae llevan al límite los aumentos del telescopio, y apartir de ahi empezarían a ser evidentes efectos secundarios de falta de nitidez, aberraciones, etc)

1st image is taken from my mobile camera, unzoomed. You can see a white solar tank in the middle of it(zoom it).
2nd image is taken from mobile too, but this time from the eye piece. Zoom this one and you can even see 3 dents on the tank.
Yet to observe a planet/moon. Will post more if possible.
I don't have a phone mount to take pictures from eye piece. Used my effort to steady and align the phone camera with it.
