Review: Easy to setup and use - This scoope is one of the greatest I have ever had. I have now 3 scoops. One refactor that was my first and now it is the first scoop is going to my grand daughter. The second scoop is a 4.5 inch reflector still very good. And now with my 12 inch, wow to see things that my 4.5 could not reach out too. Even my grand daughter loves this new scoop. Oh she is just short of being 3, and she tells me what she likes to look at. Review: Not worth $1,350 - Thought this telescope would be of decent value until started using it. The encoder disks never stay so I was constantly getting warp factors of 30+. Had to spray WD-40 on the base to make it easily rotate since it didn’t smoothly rotate without it. The finder scope is also approximately 8 degrees off from the OTA which makes it unusable. ## Features - This clever push-to Dobsonian reflector telescope can lead you to more than 14,000 celestial objects with its included IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator - 12" aperture f/4.9 reflector telescope gathers enough light for bright close-up views of the Moon and planets - Big reflector telescope provides sharp views of faint deep sky objects like galaxies, nebulas and star clusters - Simple Dobsonian point-and-view ease of use plus IntelliScope smarts equals a telescope for a lifetime - Includes 2" Crayford focuser, two Sirius Plossl 1.25" eyepieces, a 9x50 right-angle correct-image finder scope, eyepiece rack, collimation cap, Starry Night software and more! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000E1RIDW | | Brand | Orion | | Coating | Aluminum & Silicon Dioxide | | Compatible Devices | Camera, Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 10 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 62 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plossl | | Field Of View | 52 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00759270100209 | | Item Weight | 83 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Orion | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10020 | | Model Name | XT12i | | Model Number | 10020 | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 305 Millimeters | | Power Source | Manual Operation | | Telescope Mount Description | Altazimuth Mount | | UPC | 759270100209 759270271893 | ## Images ![Orion 10020 SkyQuest XT12i IntelliScope Dobsonian Telescope - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IW5axldNL.jpg) ![Orion 10020 SkyQuest XT12i IntelliScope Dobsonian Telescope - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IgZzRraVL.jpg) ![Orion 10020 SkyQuest XT12i IntelliScope Dobsonian Telescope - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gK10gD1hL.jpg) ![Orion 10020 SkyQuest XT12i IntelliScope Dobsonian Telescope - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nsmuELKaL.jpg) ![Orion 10020 SkyQuest XT12i IntelliScope Dobsonian Telescope - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TXWA0VX5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it safe to store this telescope in an I insulated garage? The mirrors fell off my expensive maksutov-cassegrain scope while stored in summer.** A: Hmm, hard to tell. How hot does it get in there? I store mine outside, well covered, and we do occasionally get to 100F. I would expect your garage to be below that. **Q: Does this telescope come with a 1.25 adapter?** A: Yes, you can use both 1.25" and 2" eyepieces. **Q: Is the intelli really needed?** A: In retrospect, not really. With a good astronomy app in hand it's not hard to find most things. **Q: Once finding an object, will the scope automatically track the object?** A: All movement of the scope is manual. It does not provide tracking capability, only guidance to manually locate objects. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to setup and use *by K***0 on May 21, 2011* This scoope is one of the greatest I have ever had. I have now 3 scoops. One refactor that was my first and now it is the first scoop is going to my grand daughter. The second scoop is a 4.5 inch reflector still very good. And now with my 12 inch, wow to see things that my 4.5 could not reach out too. Even my grand daughter loves this new scoop. Oh she is just short of being 3, and she tells me what she likes to look at. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not worth $1,350 *by E***T on June 24, 2020* Thought this telescope would be of decent value until started using it. The encoder disks never stay so I was constantly getting warp factors of 30+. Had to spray WD-40 on the base to make it easily rotate since it didn’t smoothly rotate without it. The finder scope is also approximately 8 degrees off from the OTA which makes it unusable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great scope for the money, the "intelli" part might nnt be needed *by N***. on July 7, 2018* Easy to put together, easy to operate (even in full manual with some star hopping). In retrospect I could have gone for the full manual version just as well. --- ## 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/5753170-orion-10020-skyquest-xt12i-intelliscope-dobsonian-telescope](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5753170-orion-10020-skyquest-xt12i-intelliscope-dobsonian-telescope) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
