This review is from: Orion StarBlast 4.5 Equatorial Reflector Telescope
I’ve never owned a telescope and got this for me and my 7 and 9 year old kids after doing some internet homework. It arrived packaged securely. was fairly effortless to set up and we were exploring the heavens in no time.
Showed my skeptic wife a planet, forget which one, she said “how do I know that’s not just a bright star?” so I zoomed in on Saturn and there was no room for doubt!
We live in a suburban neighborhood so the seeing problems are generally not extremely good but even in these disorders the rings of Saturn had been unmistakable.
Can’t wait to get out within the country to check it out under better problems but so far we love it and extremely recommend to others as a solid bang for the buck entry level scope.
