One of the best telescope for kids to come along in years!

The compact size, innovative design and point-and-view simplicity of Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 make it the best telescope for kids to come along in years.

Of course, adults will love using it, too! The scope's 4.5" (114mm) mirror, housed in an enameled steel tube, gathers 260% more starlight than a 60mm refractor, which means you can see a lot more celestial objects in greater detail, from Saturn's rings and Jupiter's cloud belts to hundreds of star clusters, nebulas and galaxies.

The focal length is 910mm (f/8). The XT4.5's sturdy "Dobsonian" base features Teflon/Nylon bearings so the tube effortlessly glides up and down, left and right.

The XT4.5 package includes a 6x26 correct-image finder scope and two fully coated 1.25" Sirius Plössl eyepieces: 25mm (36x) and 10mm (91x). Weighs 17.5 lbs. One year limited warranty.
