The Meade Instruments Infinity 90mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope is perfect as a quick take-out for an observing session. Whether the observer chooses to use it for terrestrial or astronomical purposes, the refractor optical design will bring bright and detailed images. Observers also have easy access to tracking with the altazimuth mount as well as three different included eyepieces and AutoStar Suite Astronomy programs to familiarize with the night sky and print out star maps with the help of refractor telescope.
What Can You See?
- Explore the Moon and planets – discover the lunar craters and mountains with Refractor Telescope, admire Saturn’s magnificent rings and observe the four largest moons of Jupiter – as Galileo Galilei once did.
- Also observe brighter nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula 1350 light-years away! Countless double stars, such as the beautiful double star Albireo in Cygnus, can also be made out.
- The alt-azimuth mount is intuitive to operate and immediately ready for use. The tripod is also quite light, making the entire system portable
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Meade 90 mm Infinity Telescope

Pros:
- Right-side up image means you can use it for daytime observing (birds, hunting, ocean, etc)
- Easy assembly.
- Refractor means you don’t have mirrors to align (collimate); it’s ready to go out of the box
