Description: | Without spending a fortune you can get a telescope that will not only satisfy the kids, but the kid in you! Our SkyQuest XT4.5 is a quality telescope, with point-and-view simplicity that makes it easy to use and makes stargazing fun!
The optical performance is far and away better than flimsy department store models. Its 4.5" (114mm) mirror, housed in an enameled steel tube, gathers 260% more starlight than a 60mm refractor. More light 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 XT4.5's sturdy "Dobsonian" base features Teflon/Nylon bearings, so the tube glides effortlessly 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. One year limited warranty.
