Product Description

The Explore Scientific FirstLight 102mm f/6.5 Achro Refractor Alt-Az Telescope combines power and simplicity to provide new users with a complete observational platform for viewing the moon and planets, and bright deep-sky objects.

Outfitted with a large 4" aperture, it can gather enough light to easily reveal lunar details, pick out Martian icecaps and Saturnian rings, and resolve distant star clusters. Its sturdy rack-and-pinion focuser allows it to handle heavier or awkward loads such as DSLR imaging rigs or the included smartphone adapter, and a larger 40mm drawtube ensures full coverage of camera imaging sensors to avoid vignetting of the view.

The OTA easily attaches to the manual Twilight Nano mount via a Vixen-style dovetail and plate, and with a maximum payload capacity of 14 pounds, it can easily handle the OTA and accessories. Supporting the mount head and OTA is an adjustable-height stainless steel tripod that comes with a center tray to add stability and offers a convenient place to hold accessories such as eyepieces, filters, and adapters. To ensure users can start viewing right out of the box, Explore Scientific includes a 25mm eyepiece, a 90° star diagonal, and a red-dot finder.

For a kids first telescope it’ll work. The mount is a little shaky as it’s made out of plastic. It’s gonna require the purchase of some additional lenses as Jupiter and Saturn looked pretty tiny with the 25 but at this price point you really couldn’t expect any more. The clarity and quality of the image you see is very good.
