A fun telescope indeed! Beginning astronomers will enjoy hours of stellar exploration with this amazing little tabletop reflector telescope. Designed specifically with first-time telescope buyers and their families in mind, the Z100 is a great way to "test the waters" of stargazing - affordably!
The Z100 is a great first telescope for beginners and young adults who show an interest in space and astronomy. The Z100 is a real reflecting telescope with a 100mm (4") diameter polished spherical mirror which allows you to capture 177% more light than a typical 60mm beginner's telescope. More light gathered means the Z100 will provide views of the cosmos that are brighter and clearer than views in smaller diameter telescopes.
Zhumell’s innovative Z Series Dobsonian telescopes have taken the world of amateur astronomy by storm. Now, you can get Zhumell’s unmatched quality and value in a portable tabletop Dobsonian with the compact Z100. It’s the perfect way to get started with astronomy or add a grab-and-go scope to your collection.
Stunning views start with a parabolic mirror
The Zhumell Z100 Portable Reflector Telescope features a 100mm parabolic primary mirror, a high-end feature that’s very uncommon in telescopes of this size. The parabolic mirror removes visual defects like spherical aberration, providing noticeably sharper views. The primary mirror and all other optical surfaces are coated with Zhumell’s high-reflectivity coatings. You can count on more than 90 percent light transmission, for brighter views of even dim objects like nebulae.
You’ll also get two fully coated eyepieces: a 1.25” 17mm eyepiece for wide field views and a 1.25” 10mm eyepiece for higher magnification.
Thanks to its industry-leading optical components, the Z100 outperforms other tabletop telescopes of a similar size for a difference you can see and appreciate under the night sky. With the Z100, Zhumell has put your money where it belongs: into the telescope’s optical system.
The Dobsonian that goes everywhere
The Z100’s mechanical design is simple and streamlined. A durable, sturdy construction means your Zhumell will stand up to years of use and travel. Thanks to its compact size and weight, you can confidently pack it along for camping trips, vacations, and more.
When you arrive at your observing site, the telescope comes together in seconds. Once you’re set up, swing the scope on its lazy susan-style mount toward your desired object. Center your target in the Red Dot Finderscope, you’re ready to view it through the eyepiece. Then, make small adjustments to smoothly track objects as they drift across the sky.
Whether you’re an experienced amateur astronomer or a brand new stargazer, the Zhumell Z100 brings you the night sky on your terms. This convenient, portable telescope is always at the ready to deliver impressive, detailed images, from a quick peek at the sky in your backyard to a marathon night of stargazing.
