## Overview

The Orion StarMax 90mm Mak-Cass Telescope and Tripod Bundle is a compact and powerful telescope designed for both novice and experienced stargazers. With a 90mm aperture and a lightweight design of just 9.25 lbs, this telescope offers high-power magnification options and a sturdy tripod for stable viewing. The bundle includes three eyepieces and an EZ Finder II aiming device, making it easy to explore the night sky.

## Description

Our pint-sized power performer StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Tripod Bundle will provide you and your family with pleasing, high-power views of the heavens whether there's a sturdy table nearby or not! This value-packed bundle includes a handy field tripod, which is adjustable with a height range of 20" to 34.5" so you can position the SkyScanner 100mm reflector comfortably for viewing without a table. The tripod also features an extendable elevator column for crowd-pleasing performance. The Orion StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Tripod Bundle also includes a high-power 6.3mm eyepiece, which provides a very powerful, 198x view in the 1250mm focal length 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope for high-magnification views of lunar crater details, bright planets, star clusters, and more. This ultra-compact Mak-Cass gives surprisingly big views for an instrument of its modest size, making it an elegant first telescope or a great grab-and-go second telescope! The long, 1250mm (f/13.8) focal length gives the StarMax 90 TableTop some serious magnifying power - the included 25mm and 10mm 1.25" Super 3-element eyepieces yield powers of 50x and 125x, respectively. What's more, the included 6.3mm eyepiece provides a staggering 198x power view. The 90mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain collects over 25% more light than its GoScope 80 cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor telescope.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it be used for terrestrial viewing?**
A: Yes, but if you don't use the 90 degree mirror diagonal, the image will be inverted.

**Q: What tripod comes with it?  I already have the scope and stand, I want to buy the tripod seperately.**
A: Thank you for your inquiry.  I would recommend our Paragon HD-F2 as a tripod for this telescope: http://www.amazon.com/Orion-5378-Paragon-HD-F2-Tripod/dp/B0069VY1GI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458839251&sr=8-1&keywords=Orion+hd-f2.

**Q: Is this the same as the Orion 10022 StarMaz 90mm TableTop telescope but just bundled with the tripod and the additional eyepiece?**
A: That is absolutely correct.

**Q: Is this telescope reflective or refractive**
A: It's a hybrid of the two. As a Cassegrain, it has a reflecting mirror at the back which is the main way that light is gathered and focused. But as a Maksutov it also has a refracting lens at the front end. That lens serves to correct some of the issues that a pure reflector has, such as blurs around the images of objects not near the center of the viewing field.

    Awesome… less than 30 seconds I can set up and find my target precisely.

It’s amazingly compact, simple to use, and it finds the target every time- and quickly!

My husband’s face lit up like a little kid when I gave this to him. This was fairly easy to set up and he enjoyed viewing craters with the moon filter. Not sure how portable it is for most users, but he carts it in and out often and doesn’t complain. Good purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Lightweight, portable, flexible...
  

*by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2012*

I ordered this scope as a Christmas present this past season and it is very nice.  It has a good wooden alt-az mount, which can sit on a table top.  It also has a great feature in that the bottom of the mount has a threaded hole so it can be mounted on a tripod (included in this kit).  Both the scope and tripod are very lightweight and can easily be placed in the car to go to dark locations.  I'll also note that the telescope tube itself also has a tripod mount threaded hole on it, for alternative mounting options.  (I haven't explored these yet, but it looks useful down the road.)This kit includes three lenses (25mm, 10mm, and 6.3mm) and a very easy to use finder scope, though I have yet to get it fully adjusted.  (That, however, is probably on me, not the scope!)  Images are corrected to be right side up, but they are still left-right reversed.  So keep that in mind for daytime usage.  For astronomy, it is a little weird to be half-corrected, but you get used to it very quickly.The only shortcoming, and the reason for not giving it a full 5 stars, is that the overall design is just too wobbly.  Mounted or sitting on a table top, it is impossible to focus while seeing anything.  Many scopes share this fault, though.  But you end up playing a game of:adjust -> pause (to stop wobbling) -> adjust -> pause -> repeat...until you can see clearly.  As I said, not unique to this scope, but annoying and surely worth one star.But still a very nice serious beginner's scope.
