Hi Jaime. The SpaceProbe II 76mm is a great lunar and planetary telescope and it can provide some excellent views of Saturn and Jupiter. What you see can vary a lot depending on your seeing conditions and also how close the planets are to earth at different times throughout the year, but this telescope can provide a good view of Saturn's rings and the moons of Jupiter. You can easily achieve a maximum magnification of 152x. For more detailed views, stepping up into a larger telescope capable of higher magnifications would be ideal. Something like our XT6 Classic, for example, has a highest useful magnification of 300x: bit.ly/2ILpBHr
I just got this scope in the mail and I used it last night but unfortunately the moon was not around so I checked out some stars. It was shaky even when I left it standing on grass. Which should not let vibrations from walking around it effect it too much. I’m new and I don’t really know how to fix it
Hi Tyler. If you're viewing at higher powers, it's not uncommon to see a little shaking with the SpaceProbe II 76 and grass doesn't always provide the most stable platform. It would be best if you could test it out over several nights and try it on a deck or solid ground to see how it performs. You can always contact us for more help and information: Phone: 1-800-447-1001 Email: sales@telescope.com Live Chat: www.telescope.com
Also keep in mind that with a smaller lighter telescope, any small breeze can cause it to shake, no matter how stable the surface. It's best to try using it on a clear night with no wind
Can you tell me how to clean the mirrors inside the scope? I'm thinking about buying this one but i live in an area with a lot of dust which I think will sooner or later accumulate inside the scope.
Dont waste your money. A 4mm will be beyond a 76mm mirror. A small low power image that is sharp is far preferable to a extended blurry mass racing across the field of view.
The SpaceProbe II 76 comes in two different configurations, one of them includes an EQ mount: bit.ly/3CTiFXP If you need any assistance be sure to contact us and we'll be happy to help!

Hi Mindy. This telescope isn't designed for that kind of photography and wouldn't work with a DSLR camera. One option, for simple snapshots, is using something like our SteadyPix Smartphone Adapter to connect a phone: bit.ly/39Z1sfm If you would like to discuss more advanced photography options, contact us in one of the following ways: Phone: 1-800-447-1001 Email: sales@telescope.com Live Chat: www.telescope.com
Hi Rishabh. The SpaceProbe II 76mm AZ is not designed for advanced astrophotography. However, you could connect a light-weight SteadyPix mount and use your smart phone for quick snapshots: bit.ly/2JIgOay
@@oriontelescopes can I connect it to a DSLR? Also it being a reflector telescope does it have any disadvantages over a refractor for viewing the night sky?
Rishabh Singhal reflectors are actually usually preferred in professional astronomy. there are no lenses that can sag and become permanently unfocused and they often produce clearer images at higher magnifications compared with refractors. just learned about all of this in my astronomy class :)
Yes, the telescopes we sell come collimated out of the box. Sometimes rough handling during shipping can knock them out of alignment but generally they stay aligned quite well.
Can you please suggest one that gives clear views of planets? I have no knowledge about telescopes but want to gift one to my husband so any help will be appreciated!!
Hi Anjum! You can look at the bright planets with almost any telescope. There are a few things to consider about the kind of telescope he might want, like how big or small and what else he might be interested in looking at (galaxies, nebulae, etc). One quick suggestion for a beginner is the Orion Observer II 70mm, which is great for planetary viewing: bit.ly/34VguPY If you would like to discuss other options, contact our knowledgeable sales staff and we'll be happy to assist: 1-800-447-1001 sales@telescope.com www.telescope.com
Really genuinely helpful. Would not have a clue without this. Great job !
is this enough to see details in the surface of jupiter and saturn instead of them looking like large white circles? would a filter help?

I can buy another’s eyespieces? like 3.6 mm or 4mm

Great videos. Hopefully you still have access to this UA-cam account
How many days in a standard delivery will take if I live in the US?
Approximate transit times for standard delivery in the United States are 5-6 business days, we also have expedited shipping options available.
My space probe II came with an eq mount.

How do you see with the telescope I can’t use it correctly? Thank you in advance.
estan los espejos alineador, pero al colocar el visor de 25mm se ve solo blanco
Me pasa lo mismo😢
Am I able to attach my nikon dslr to this telescope?

Is the collimated out of the box?

I'm thinking of buying this can u see nebulas, galaxies, Stars and planets because im really fascinated in this? any help
You can see bits of nebulas. You can see jupiter and saturn but galaxies is a huge no. You have to get a bigger one with that
Does this telescope need to be collimated ? I’m getting this telescope and I wanna know if I should buy a laser collimator
No it is collimated out of the box
Can you please suggest one that gives clear views of planets? I have no knowledge about telescopes but want to gift one to my husband so any help will be appreciated!!
