Fun indeed! You'll enjoy hours of stellar exploration with this amazing little telescope. Designed specifically with youngsters and first-time telescope buyers in mind, the FunScope is a great way to "test the waters" of stargazing - affordably! But what can you see with it? The FunScope features a 76mm polished spherical mirror, allowing you to capture 60 percent; more light than a typical 60mm beginner's telescope. So you can observe the Moon, Saturn's rings, as well as Jupiter and its four brightest moons, all under light-polluted skies. Under dark skies, even star clusters, emission nebulae and some of the brighter galaxies are not beyond reach.The FunScope comes equipped with a "red dot" finder, rack-and-pinion focuser, and two 1.25" quality eyepieces: 20mm (15x) and 10mm (30x). So you can easily locate and observe objects in the night sky. The FunScope's table-top mount features a quick-release dovetail mechanism, so the telescope can be easily detached and mounted on a tripod. Alternatively, the entire FunScope and mount itself can be mounted onto a tripod with a 3/8" screw. Adjustable tension clutches on both axes let you determine tube movement in both directions. Weighing just 4 lbs., the ultra-portable FunScope can go with you just about anywhere! It makes a great gift for anytime of the year, especially during the holiday season. Who knew so much fun could come in such a small package? See for yourself and pick up a FunScope today!

If you're looking for a dual-purpose telescope appropriate for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, then the AstroMaster Series is for you. Each AstroMaster model is capable of giving correct views of land and sky. The AstroMaster Series produce bright, clear images of the Moon and planets. It is easy to see the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. For views of the brighter deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae, we recommend the larger aperture and light gathering ability of the Newtonian reflectors.

We've done our popular Orion StarBlast 4.5 Astro Beginner Telescope one better. The Orion-designed StarBlast 6 Astro Telescope takes the same compact, wide-field, user-friendly concept and expands on it, literally. The StarBlast 6 boasts fully 73% more light-gathering area than its smaller counterpart. Yet the scope is still highly portable, weighing only 23.5 lbs., and comes with the base fully assembled in the box! The StarBlast 6's 150mm (5.9") f/5.0 parabolic mirror provides ample aperture to reveal the planets and deep-sky gems in wonderful detail. Its wide field of view makes finding and tracking objects easier than with longer focal-length telescopes, which makes it a superb beginner telescope -- for all ages. It also would make a terrific "grab-and-go" second telescope for more experienced stargazers. Teflon bearings and adjustable altitude tension on the base ensure smooth maneuvering of the StarBlast 6. Keep the included Sirius Plossl eyepieces at the ready in the convenient three-hole eyepiece rack. Two handle cutouts in the base allow easy lifting and transporting of the telescope.

The Skywatcher GreatStart SW 130N-EQ2 130mm Manual Reflector Telescope provides light gathering sufficient to resolve rudimentary structural detail in prominent deep-space objects to a greater extent than a 114mm mirror instrument. M13 the spectacular globular star cluster in Hercules can be incrementally resolved into thousands of additional stars surrounding the object's central core compared to a 114mm scope. Glowing, cloud-like nebulosity is more impressive, brighter and seen in wider in extension in emission nebulae like M42 (The Great Orion Nebula) and M8 (Laguna Nebula) compared to a 114mm diameter instrument. The SW 130N-EQ2 resolves lunar and planetary detail admirably. The SW 130N can be relied upon to provide satisfying images of solar system objects that are superior to that of a 114mm telescope. Nonetheless, the incredible sharpness of the SW 90AR-EQ2 objective lens for planetary viewing may be a better choice for those primarily relegated to observing the solar system because deep space viewing is severely compromised by city sky glow. The primary mirror is fabricated from Grade-A glass to exacting demands of smoothness and optical figure. The mirror is aluminized and over coated with a hard protective quartz layer for lasting quality. This telescope offers a traditional focal length of 900mm yielding higher powers with each eyepiece used compared to the wide field SW 130NS-EQ2 model. The focuser assembly is solid and stable with a mechanically s
