Description
The Orizon StarBlast telescope is easy to use, robust, and modified to be more durable and patron friendly. The telescope is a manageable size but has a relatively large optical tube. This means that the Moon and deep sky objects will show far more detail than one could see with the common "beginners" telescopes. It provides a large field of view that allows the object to stay in the eyepiece longer. Check out this gateway to the universe today!
