| SkyQuest XT4.5 is a quality telescope, with point-and-view simplicity that makes it easy to use and is our number 1 telescope sold to serious beginners! Its 4.5" (114mm) mirror, housed in an enameled steel tube of 910mm(f/8) allows more light grasp, which in turn gives you more detail to your viewing. This telescope is designed for familiesease of use having all the great features that make Dobsonians so popular such as intuitive up-down, left-right maneuverability (without lock knobs or other adjustments to mess with) and sturdy support of the optics. The XT4.5’s base features Teflon/Nylon bearing pads, so the scope glides smoothly with just a gentle nudge of the tube. The base provides far greater stability than the tripods included with most beginner scopes, so the views are always steady. Exclusive CorrecTension Friction Optimization for superior tube balance and motion control. The CorrecTension springs also keep the tube fastened to the base, so the whole scope can be carried as a single unit by the handle installed on the tube. You get a 6x26 achromatic correct-image finder scope and a “navigation knob” for easy slewing of the telescope. You also get two fully coated 1.25" Sirius Plössl eyepieces: a 25mm for low-power views at 36x, and a 10mm for getting in close at 91x. Focal length, 910mm (f/8). Base assembly required. Complete instructions included. Total weight, 17-1/2 lbs. (tube 9 lbs., base 8-1/2 lbs.). One-year limited warranty. |
