The AstroMaster 90EQ is a 90mm f/11 refractor on a German equatorial mount with slow-motion controls. It ships with two eyepieces and a red-dot finder, giving 50x and 100x out of the box and up to 213x with a Barlow. The refractor design needs no collimation, which makes it easier to live with than a reflector for a first serious scope. Against the AstroMaster 130EQ reflector it gives up aperture but avoids mirror alignment and shows sharper, contrastier views of the Moon, planets and double stars.

Owners rate it well as a beginner refractor, praising sharp lunar and planetary views and the smooth mount. Complaints center on tripod shake, the fiddly equatorial setup and the basic finder.
