Orion 4.5 SkyQuest XT4.5 Dobsonian

What is Orion’s SkyQuest XT4.5 Dobsonian Telescope?

You’ve had those excellent Giant Binoculars specifically geared for astronomical viewing, and loved every moment gazing up at the stars, whether it be a night out in the wilderness, or a night out on your back porch. Yet this holiday season you want to get more out of your night sky than ever before. But you’ve never owned a telescope and don’t know which one might suit you best, and which which ones cost in the low hundreds price range, not in the high thousands. Say hello to to the Orion 4.5 Skyquest XT4.5 Dobsonian Telescope, one of Orion’s Starter series of telescopes, and perhaps the best of the line.

What are the advantages to get you started?

Typical refractor telescopes designed for starter-ups are 60mm in diameter. Put simply, the more light collected from an outside source, the more input you have going into your window to the universe. Why not get the edge over them by taking advantage of the SkyQuest’s 114mm mirror to collect 260% more starlight? You’ll receive more objects in greater detail. This telescope has a huge, unfair advantage over many of its competitors - all the more reason try it out with its one year limited warranty!

The scope aligns seamlessly from point to point with the push of a finger on the exterior. With Teflon and Nylon bearing pads, the huge stability of the base beats the competitors’ tripods by far, and also features Orion’s famed CorrecTension Friction Optimization for the ultimate in motion control and tubular balance.

Sky & Telescope, premier telescope magizine, calls the SkyQuest XT4.5 “The best of the bunch - a solid combination of optics and mechanics.” Don’t let another holiday season pass you by without seeing the sights you deserve to see.

Comes with a 6×26 correct-image finder scope and two coated 1.25 Sirius Plossl eyepieces. One year limited warranty.
