Meade’s LightBridge Mini 82mm f/3.66 Reflector Telescope comes with a convenient tabletop manual mount for fast and easy set up just about anywhere you want to start observing. The 82mm objective spherical mirror and 300mm focal length make this ideal as a simple grab-and-go option for more experienced users who want to go out for a quick session or as a beginner telescope suitable for detailed observations of the Moon and planets. Weighing in at just under 4 pounds, the LightBridge Mini can go wherever you do.

The manual table-top alt-azimuth mount gives you easy control of the telescope for tracking subjects like Moon, planets and comets, and its ability to rotate a full 360° allows you to view just about anywhere in the night sky. This telescope is designed for easy assembly, breakdown and transport, so you can spend less time setting up and more time enjoying the night sky. The telescope comes with two fully 1.25″ diameter eyepieces produce 12x and 33x magnifications to bring your favorite celestial body closer, and a 2x Barlow lens effectively doubles the power of each eyepiece to offer you more magnification options. An included red-dot finderscope has an ultra-wide field of view that helps find what you’re looking for and gets you viewing even faster.
