Weighing only 6.5 lbs, its compact design and stable tabletop mount make it perfect for spontaneous stargazing sessions at home or on the go. Equipped with two eyepieces, an EZ Finder II reflex sight, and a 90-degree diagonal, this telescope offers professional-grade optics in a portable, easy-to-use package. ## Description Whoever coined the phrase "big things come in small packages", would have definitely applied that expression to our new StarMax 90 TableTop Telescope. This ultra-compact Maksutov-Cassegrain (Mak-Cass) gives surprisingly big views for an instrument of its modest size, making it an elegant first telescope or a great grab-and-go second telescope! The long, 1250mm (f/13.8) focal length gives the StarMax 90 TableTop some serious magnifying power - the included 25mm and 10mm 1.25" eyepieces yield powers of 50x and 125x, respectively. It collects over 25% more light than its GoScope 80 cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor telescope. So you'll be able to enjoy planetary delights such as lunar landscapes, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons. As you scan the Milky Way, you''l also be able to pull in some open and globular star clusters, as well as a nebula or two. The tube assembly of the StarMax 90mm TableTop Mak-Cass Telescope is attached to a stable swivel base, via a quick-release dovetail mount with adjustable altitude tension. The tube can easily be removed from the base and mounted on an optional photo tripod. The small swivel base itself can also be mounted on a camera tripod with a 3/8" screw. A red-dot view finder, internal focuser (which moves the primary lens back and forth) and included 90-degree correct image diagonal round out the features of this compact, yet surprisingly capable, Mak-Cass telescope. Review: Great up to five billion miles! - This is a great grab and go telescope, I already have a large refractor telescope which is amazing but heavy and it takes a long time to set up. This telescope is very light, and I was very impressed with how easy it is to set up on a table, or tripod, you can also remove it from its mount and attach it to an equatorial tripod, if you need to have it mounted higher. I would not recommend using this telescope for viewing stars or nebulae as you tend to lose a lot of light gathering capacity due to its compact design, however it is excellent for viewing the moon or planets. Review: Great Quality high magnification.. But - Good: Amazingly small, nice looking object, great magnification - can see rings of saturn with both lenses But: the magnification is so high and the field of view so small that its very hard to firstly find anything and secondly keep it in view. I umm'd and err'd about it for while but in the end returned it (great service desertcart) because of the bad points above ## Features - This grab-and-go TableTop Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope provides powerful views of the Moon and bright planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars - Weighing just 6.5 lbs. assembled, this compact telescope and base can be taken just about anywhere to provide great views of the night sky while on road-trips, camping, or the short trip out to the backyard - 90mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope gathers enough light for beautiful views of brighter deep space objects like globular clusters, nebulas, and many bright galaxies - Nifty tabletop base provides a stable viewing foundation you can set on any sturdy table, or even attach it to a field tripod with a 3/8" or 1/4"-20 threaded post - Includes two 1.25" eyepieces (25mm and 10mm focal lengths), EZ Finder II reflex sight for easy aiming, 90 degree mirror diagonal for comfortable night sky viewing, and more! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002JO06PO | | Brand | Orion | | Brand Name | Orion | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Compatible Devices | Tripod, Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 368 Reviews | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Bertele | | Eye piece lens description | Bertele | | Field Of View | 1.3 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 1250mm | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00759270100223 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 49.5D x 26.7W x 26.7H centimetres | | Item Weight | 6.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Orion | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10022 | | Model Number | 10022 | | Mount | Tabletop Alt-Az | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Metal batteries required.

The 125x magnification will show the Moon much larger, it will look like you're right next to it in space. **Q: which eyepiece is use to see the planets clearly and big** A: -The best all-around combo I've found is with a 20 mm Plossl eyepiece (my own purchase, although the 25mm included will work very well with a slight drop in magnification) + a 5x Barlow lens. However, if conditions are good, you can go to the 10 mm with the Barlow & this will result in Jupiter (currently near opposition (2018/05/05) occupying much of the field of view. -Bear in mind that this is with my using the Orion EQ-1 equatorial mount as well- trying to keep something in the field of view with this amount of magnification & a tabletop mount would give you fits. Having said that, however, I would definitely pick up a decent 5x Barlow- it will enhance the performance greatly for only a relatively few $$$. -I have this scope myself & with the EQ mount, a range of eyepieces plus Barlows & filters? You'll have some great views of the planets. **Q: What eyepiece would give this telescope 180x magnification?** A: Ryan, thank you for contacting Orion Telescopes and Binoculars. In order to get to 180x magnification, you would need a 6.9mm eyepiece. I hope this has been helpful. **Q: Hello! Would you mind to write the size of this telescope's box and weight of the box?** A: Not sure what your purpose is in seeking the box dimensions, but if it is to use as storage and safe transport of the scope, I have a suggestion. Save the packing and grab a cheap carry-on sized suitcase. Pack the packing in the suitcase so it doesn’t slide around and you have a good container. I’ve done this with a Celestron NexStar 8” SCT though it required a full sized expandable suitcase.

But *by O***N on 22 September 2018* Good: Amazingly small, nice looking object, great magnification - can see rings of saturn with both lenses But: the magnification is so high and the field of view so small that its very hard to firstly find anything and secondly keep it in view. I umm'd and err'd about it for while but in the end returned it (great service amazon) because of the bad points above ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant little starter telescope *by B***E on 28 December 2020* Got this for ten year old who is interested in astronomy. Had the usual cheapo ones that you can't see anything with and decided to get this as a first proper telescope. Only negative to this scooe is the small field of vison, which is expected at this price for a cassegrain. Other than that its brilliant! The moon is incredible, the detail of the craters etc. Would recommend getting an orion moon filter though as light from the moon will wash out the details without one. The red dot finder works reasonably well, you might have to fiddle slightly with it for objects other than the moon, the trick is to follow any light picked up by the telescope. Can't wait to explore mars etc with this. Would also suggest buying a barlow shorty x2 as it greatly improves magnification. If you are looking for a decent beginner telescooe that is also fairly small and easily tranported this is highly recommend. --- ## 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.tn/products/49433602-orion-starmax-90mm-tabletop-maksutov-cassegrain-telescope-small-but-powerful](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49433602-orion-starmax-90mm-tabletop-maksutov-cassegrain-telescope-small-but-powerful) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
