Review: Saw moon clearly without glasses. - My first telescope which I chose from reviews for less than $200. Easy to set up and use from the well-packaged box. Had to watch a few easy-to-find videos on youtube about the assembly and viewing to make sure I did it right and got some tips - made it much simpler. Got the telescope to see what I could view of mars while it was closer to moon, still, was only a small disc not even worth seeing with my vision (slightly blurry with glasses on and off). Glasses were actually in the way. According to manual, I need to look into additional eyepieces that have “longer eye relief” when wearing glasses. Also, may need that for viewing other small (far away) planets such as jupiter and saturn with glasses on. Next was the view of the moon which was a late riser on 08/01/18. Waited till after midnight to see it which was 3/4ths full on a clear night. Got a great view of it and look forward to a full moon. I put my iphone 5 camera up to lens as best and as steady as I could, posted couple pics. Used 10mm eyepiece with 2x Barlow (sold separately). Moon was bright, but was able to view without a moon filter (sold separately). If it were a full moon on a clear night, may need a moon filter with that Barlow 2x. Have not looked at Jupiter and saturn yet. I am 56. Could see moon very clearly without glasses (2.0 R/2.75 L, Farsighted). First-timer seeing the moon so close in a telescope was like wow! & woughhhhh!!! & awesome & freakish! I am only 5’2 so sitting on ground with telescope in front on ground made scope too long for me to lean over to look into eyepiece without nudging it out of focus. Was easier and steadier for me to sit on ledge of cushioned lawn chair with a steady foot stool in front of me with telescope on it. Did not use EZ Finder 2 Reflex Sight. I will later get a 4mm eyepiece and a Barlow 3x in hopes for larger/closer views of Saturn, etc. Very satisfied for the price and excited about more viewing. Will enjoy this as long as it lasts. Praise God for telescopes and outer space wonders! Review: Excellent Feild Telescope. - This a a great portable field telescope when used with a high quality Barlow lens. I put this on a Celesteon Equatorial tripod mount with a little adaption. It works flawlessly. This is great for both the amarture and professional astronomer for its portability. The culminating process of this is very easy but tricky to align precisely. Especially when you want a clear image through a high resolution Barlow lense. Surprisingly the eyepieces are actually very well chosen to go with this telescope, especially under very dark skies. It may not be of the same quality of a cassegrain, but it packs a portable punch for the low price. Now I should point out that if you want to see planets like Saturn or Jupiter through this telescope, you'll need a good quality Barlow lens. I use two barrows, one by Siruis, and the other by Edmund Scientific. Meade also makes great Barlow lenses. This telescope is well suited for wide feild views of large open star clusters like Pleades or the double cluster near Cassiopeia. It can pick up light as faint as Dumbel nebula and even The Veil. For all those beginners out there this telescope will be a lot of fun to learn to use and observe through. Happy stargazing. ## Features - Ideal entry-level reflector telescope sporting big optics, hassle-free operation, and grab-and-go portability - Ample 100mm (3.9") parabolic primary mirror optics drink in faint light to reveal lunar craters, planets, and deep-space nebulas in sharp detail - The SkyScanner's intuitive swivel base makes maneuvering and pointing the telescope easy for everyone in the family - Includes 20mm (for 20x power) and 10mm (for 40x power) 4-element eyepieces, EZ Finder II aiming device, glare-reducing Moon filter, and Orion's MoonMap 260 - Weighs just 5.3 lbs fully assembled, and stands 16" tall when aimed at the zenith ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00D05BIIU | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,398 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #86 in Telescope Reflectors | | Brand | Orion | | Built-In Media | SkyScanner 100 optical tube, Base, 20mm 4-element eyepiece, 10mm 4-element eyepiece, EZ Finder II reflex sight, 3/8"-to-1/4"-20 thread adapter, Orion E-Series Moon Filter, Orion MoonMap 260 | | Coating | Lens coating | | Compatible Devices | Tripod | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 745 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 5 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plossl | | Field Of View | 1.31 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 400 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00759270100124 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9.5"D x 9.5"W x 14"H | | Item Weight | 6.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Optronic Technologies, Inc | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10012 | | Model Name | SkyScanner 100mm | | Model Number | 10012 | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

Is this supports 200x?** A: Saturn's rings are always a treat! Glad you saw them. A 2x barlow and 4mm eyepiece will give you 200x on this scope, which is about the theoretical maximum usable magnification for a 100mm aperture scope like this one (about 50x/25mm). But in my experience with these smaller scopes, the image is rather poor at maximum magnification; you can see something, but very dim and very grainy, for instance. For my eyes, the max usable magnification is closer to 40x/25mm..... I think it's fun to use the max magnification (esp. on the Moon!) But I usually get the most satisfactory viewing at a lower power. Enjoy your telescope! **Q: What does it show for planets? Decent details? Or tiny bright circles?** A: With the eye pieces that come with it, we’ve seen 4 moons of Jupiter. The moon views are great too. It is best and easiest to see these details on a clear moonless, or next to moonless night. We added a 2x magnifier to the 10mm and it’s been a life changer. **Q: I can't see anything. Are you supposed to remove the black covers from the two ends of main tube? Also don't see red light in the easy fixer device.** A: Yes, remove the 4" cover at the end with the eyepiece. Remove the entire 4" cover, not just the smaller 2" insert. The black cover at the mirror end should not be removed. On your easy finder, be sure you have clicked the rotary switch to fully on so the red dot is at maximum brightness. Try to line your eye up with the finder tube with your eye six to ten inches behind the finder tube. The red dot appears to hang in mid air and it is indeed not easy to see it at first. Keep trying - moving your eye around until you see the red dot. It's there, just keep at it. It gets much easier after you have found it a few times. It will all seem awkward at first, but gets much easier. Happy viewing! **Q: Hi what are the outside dimensions of the telescope without the tabletop base attached (so tube and viewfinder only)? Thanks!** A: The barrel length is 14.5 inches, The outside diameter of the barrel is about 4.25 inches. If you add the viewfinder &/or ocular holder, it adds about 2 inches to the diameter. What is nice about this scope is that it can be put on a standard camera tripod. But it should be a very sturdy, heavy-duty tripod. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saw moon clearly without glasses. *by A***. on August 4, 2018* My first telescope which I chose from reviews for less than $200.

Happy stargazing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A cheap, extremely portable, reasonable quality 4 inch scope *by L***. on September 17, 2016* I live in urban areas in Hong Kong under heavily light polluted sky and the faintest stars I can see with naked eye is only up to 1.5mag. This is my review based on 4 to 5 nights of usage after receiving the scope for 2 weeks. The package is double boxed and arrived safe. Tested the collimation and it's only slightly off center after traveling half of the Earth to reach home. This is the first Newtonian scope I own so I take some time to take it all apart to understand how every part works, adjusted the collimation, made small improvements such as painting the edge of the secondary mirror black to help improving contrast and added setting circles to both axis to help "push to" objects quickly. I prefer not to use the red dot finder even it fully works because for bright objects, putting in a 25mm eyepiece (from my previous scope) got a magnification of 16X which is already a good "finder scope" range of magnification for me. And for any dimmer objects, red dot won't help much so I better locate it using an Phone app + the setting circles. The scope and mount is very light weight compared with any other 4 inch telescope setup so I can easily bring it out to any location just packing everything in a single backpack, and carry a photo tripod on my hand. Setup / pack up only take less than 5 minutes so it's very efficient. This is my second telescope, the first one I owned is Nexstar 4SE with a similar aperture of 102mm but a much longer focal length of 1325mm, and is a Maksutov-Cassegrain. As I compared the image quality with my old scopes which is also 4 inch, I can say both of their optical performance are similar under the same magnifications. I had viewed the moon which is bright and clear, the stars as pinpoints with slight diffraction spikes for those brighter ones, and even Neptune can be spotted as a dim blue star light dot. The provided eyepiece are OK and very light weight but provide up to 40X magnification only. So later I'm planning to purchase a better quality one with 4.7mm to push up the magnification to 85X so that I can continue my review on Mars / Jupiter / Saturn. For a 4 inch scope, I can say it's performance is pretty comparable with any other more expensive 4 inch refractors / catadioptrics and I'll recommend it if you know what to be expected for a 4 inch scope. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1147469-orion-skyscanner-100mm-tabletop-reflector-telescope-compact-and-portable-beginner](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1147469-orion-skyscanner-100mm-tabletop-reflector-telescope-compact-and-portable-beginner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
