Question: Can it be mounted on a tripod?
Document: Get a telescope that is small enough to be carried easily in a carrying bag and sits on a tripod.I gave it a 2 star because the image is clear and it was easy to assemble. Not ORION's fault we're such newbs.
I feel my money was better spent on the large aperture instead of motorized controls and a heavy tripod. This scope is very quick to set up and makes it easy to look here and there on a whim. Tracking objects as they move is not difficult, but if you're using a 6 or 4 mm eyepiece you have to stay on it or its gone. This scope comes with software that shows what is visible from your location now or any other time, and has a searchable object database.
love this telescope !! very well built and excellent optics, i highly reccomend it  to anyone considering purchasing it  trust me you wont regret it.
great deal. you need dark skys to look at planets. Make sure you put  the lazar on. Would buy again
You could have a 50-inch scope and it wouldnt do anything if you didnt know where the good stuff is. before purchasing a scope, make sure you can navigate around the sky, or else this scope is useless. If you know what you are doing, and can find many objects with the naked eye, than this telescope is for you. It is at a great price for the aperature, sturdy and easy to rotate on the platform. But, it is very large and cumbersome.
You cannot get the tube through the trunk's rear-seat opening in a small car, and I drive a Sentra, which is renowned for being one of the largest of the small cars you can buy. The tube will go in the back seat, and the base will have to ride in the passenger seat, because it also is designed in such a way that it will not fit in the trunk. So get rid of the wife. Get rid of the kids.
Yes, it makes a big difference. It was worth the money to take a step up in size. Some views that were beyond the grasp of my 6, and only located with my 8, are now easy to see in my 10.REASONS TO PURCHASE THE XT8---------------------------Money. There is a jump in cost.
We had bought a Meade computerized telescope some years back with a 4 in. apeture. We had fun using it to look at the moon and we got to see venus but we could never really get it alighned.First night we used the Orion we had an amazing view of the moon and we quickly found Neptune and were able to see the bands of Jupiter and four of its moons.
WHen I got the boxes they were a little dented but di not effct the main tube. I blame the mail system not Orion. Assembly was easy and to the point. I place it in my back yard the first night and here is my review. The veiw was spectacular!!
Unfortunately, they don't make the 12 inch in the Classic Dobsonian version. Part of the reason is probably the spring problem; the 12 inch is too heavy to move assembled. The scope has to be separated from the mount to move it and the springs don't have a quick release on the Classics. A slight redesign or even a do-it-yourself modification could solve this, but Orion only makes the 12 inch in electric versions.
Answer: It is not designed to be mounted on a tripod.
