Product Description

 
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.

Better than a Toy Telescope, But It's still a bit Toy-like

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2007
The Bottom Line: The XT4.5 is a good quality telescope for a children's scope, but its small size means lots of bending over for adults, and it will be outgrown.
Review: The Orion XT4.5, is, by Orion's own description, a telescope for kids. But since Orion has made their name by providing real telescopes, this isn't just a toy which looks like a telescope and has very little capability; it's a real telescope. But to...

Orion SkyQuest XT4.5 Classic Dobsonian Telescope
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. In a review of low-cost beginner telescopes, Sky and Telescope (12/05) proclaimed the XT4.5 "The best of the bunch - a solid combination of optics and mechanics." Try it and see for yourself!
