Orion Aristocrat 12x30mm Brass Hand Telescope Review
Review of Orion Aristocrat 12x30mm Brass Hand Telescope.
Price: 79.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
Orion Aristocrat 12x30mm Brass Hand Telescope – Product Warranty: One year
Product Type: Science Gear > Gifts_and_Gadgets
Our classic 12×30 brass hand telescope recalls the days when the ships that sailed the high seas did, quite literally, sail. Today this expertly handcrafted viewing instrument lets you survey ocean-going vessels at 12x magnification from the shore or peer in on a robin’s nest from the porch. It has fully anti-reflection coated, achromatic glass optics contained in a sectioned tube of polished brass that extends to 14″ for viewing and collapses to 5.5″ for convenient storage. Sharp focus is achieved by rotating the eyepiece. The long 22mm eye relief means you will see the whole field of view even if you wear eyeglasses. Display the scope in your den or on the living room hearth when not in use, either inside or outside of its hinged mahogany storage chest. It’ll get the attention of everyone who sees it!
