![]() After letting my eyes adjust to the view for a few minutes i started seeing 2 faint "wings" on both sides and in the center were 4 very tiny stars, i didn't expect to see that on my first night. It was a bit blurry but after adjusting the focus i could see some nice pinpoint stars and also something fuzzy, i realized it was the orion nebula. I saw orion right infront of me, "marked" it with the red dot finder where i thought M42 should be and looked through the 26mm eyepiece. Night came and it was a moonless and clear night (only light pollution from the city i live in). Combining the 6.3mm with the barlow got me a bit blurry view, but the barlow in combination with the other eyepieces was ok. I looked at some mountains about 20km away, the view was nice and very detailed using all eyepieces. The telescope arrived in the morning so the first thing i did after a quick setup was to adjust the red dot finder. ![]() The barlow is bad i even think that the optics are plastic (not sure), it is usable if you don't have other options but this should be the first upgrade in my opinion. One screw to mount the tube on on top (adjustable back and forward).Īll 3 are modified achromat eyepieces, the lenses are made of glass and are OK for the beginner, but i would suggest upgrading if you can. It has 3 extendable legs, and 2 slow motion cables (alt/az). It has a dovetail bar on it with 3 holes for screws. It looks and feels as a quality instrument, it has a small dew shield and the focuser is smooth when you move it back and forward. The tube has a 90mm (3.5in) aperture and 600mm focal length. Included was the optical tube, the mount, 3 eyepieces (6.3mm, 9mm and 26mm), a 2x barlow lens, 90 degree diagonal, red dot finder, an eyepiece holder for the mount and a few manuals. The scope came in one big box, everything was inside. The telescope was on a 50% sale so i decided to go for it, the Meade infinity 90. After some internet "research" i decided to go for a refractor on a manual alt/az mount. Wasn't sure what to get but i wanted something portable and easy to setup and use. Hi everyone, about a month ago i got my first telescope.
