First, let me just say that I am never ordering from this company again. They said that the item was "in stock" yet I waited for 7 weeks. Sigh,...but today, IT ARRIVED! :hello2:

The Orion Starblast 4.5" Altazimuth Reflector Tabletop Telescope is definitely not as grandiose and my 10" Sky-Watcher but for my camping excursions,.. it shall do quite well!

It came with 17mm and 6 mm Explorer II eyepieces and a Starry Night Software. Nice little program but when one uses Stellarium,.. who needs anything else right?

A review? That will have to wait for now. I am about to take the plane for a well deserved vacation and the skies will be cloudy till then. So for now,... it definitely LOOKS like it will deliver on those hot summer nights! :)

Anyone out there tried one of these before? What should I expect?

HI, ISABELLE, looks like my heritage same sort of spec, but yours has full length tube instead of collapsible truss. you should see Saturn ok,try the 6mm on its own then the x2 barlow for a bit more mag if the image is small ,also globular clusters should show well with the 15mm ep has i use that one a lot. yours paul.

Which company? I have had a few dealing with Scope's and Skies, with out of stock goods! I only use FLO or Sherwoods now. Great scope, and i'm sure it will perform great as your grab and go!
