The rounded focus knob is sized just right for smaller hands and makes focusing simple. While designed for kids, this stereo microscope is not a toy: it features optical glass paired widefield 10x eyepieces and 2x objective lenses that provide sharp, clear images.

Orion StarBlast™ 4.5 EQ Reflector #09798

Wide-field optics, easy to use, the StarBlast EQ is an excellent starting set to see the stars, the Moon and more. It combines the much-heralded StarBlast wide-field (f/4.0) parabolic optics with a sturdy, adjustable-height EQ-1 equatorial tracking mount. The telescope's short focal length serves up a generous chunk of sky in the eyepiece, making it easy for beginners to find objects. This version of the StarBlast offers an even more pronounced wide-field viewing experience, with two Expanse series eyepieces — 15mm (30x) and 6mm (75x) — which have a 66° apparent field of view. Images of everything from the Moon to the Messier objects appear exceptionally sharp and contrasty. And the EZ Finder red-dot aiming finder scope makes starhopping around the sky a breeze.
