The SkyScanner 100mm Reflector and Tripod Bundle doesn't require a tabletop to provide you and your family with beautiful views of the night sky. This well-appointed reflecting telescope comes complete with 100mm parabolic primary mirror optics made of glass not plastic, three 1.25" eyepieces, and an EZ finder II reflex sight to aid in aiming. Under darker, more remote skies where the included field tripod will no doubt come in handy, the SkyScanner 100mm has enough light-gathering power to reveal fainter objects deep in the Milky Way and even some brighter galaxies and star clusters. This compact reflector collects over 200 times more light than the unaided eye! The petite reflector telescope's wide field of vision is ideal for observing the Moon night after night and can also catch glimpses of more distant targets such as the spectacular rings of Saturn and cloud belts of Jupiter without having to leave town. Its 100mm (3.9") aperture reflecting optics are large enough in diameter to see a multitude of night sky objects, yet the SkyScanner 100 telescope is compact enough to be carried outside easily by anyone in the family.

The included field tripod is adjustable with a height range of 20" to 34.5" so you can position the SkyScanner 100mm reflector for comfortable views in the field. You'll be able to study the cratered surface of the Moon at high-power and see details on bright planets that wouldn't be achievable with lower-power eyepieces. The 6.3mm eyepiece allows you to inspect night-sky objects up-close as it provides 63.5x power magnification when used with the SkyScanner 100mm reflector telescope. What's more, this value-packed bundle includes a powerful 6.3mm telescope eyepiece in addition to the 10mm and 25mm eyepieces included with the standard SkyScanner 100 without tripod.
