K. Davis's Reviews
Do you want to be able to locate over 14,000 objects with pushbutton ease? The Orion IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator lets you do just that. Just plug in to any SkyQuest XT IntelliScope for computerized pointing access to celestial objects.
I've always preferred the Orion "Push To" Computerized Dobs and Object Locator over other forms of GOTO scopes. No loud motors, and requiring only a 9volt battery instead an external power source, and exceptionally accurate if you've done your initialvertical leveling so that the optical tube is perpendicular to the azimuth axis of the base. The two star alignment can be done faster than my other "GOTO" automated telescope. The object database is fast and never bogs down "searching" as with my other scope. The double star mode has become one of my favorite features. You'll definitely find yourself viewing more objects instead of trying to star hop to them in today's light polluted skies.

The Orion AstroView Equatorial Telescope Mount is heavy-duty and can support up to a 5" refractor tube. The head has enclosed worm gears and slow-motion controls. Includes an adjustable aluminum tripod, polar alignment scope and accessory tray.

A Real Bargain
PostedAugust 29, 2008
A sturdy, affordable mount for small and mid sized telescopes. The improved dovetail saddle plate and the new, easy to use polar alignment scope make it a true bargain, and a relatively lightweight alternative to alt-azimuth mounts for grab and go applications. Recommended.
