The Moon Mission is a compact 100mm tabletop Dobsonian reflector with a parabolic primary mirror. The parabolic figure gives a wider, sharper field than the spherical mirrors common on small 100mm Newtonians, so lunar detail and star points hold up better. It sets up in seconds on a table or bench and packs small for camping or travel. It suits beginners and casual stargazers who want simple point-and-look astronomy without a tripod, though its small aperture limits deep-sky views compared with 6-inch and 8-inch Dobsonians.

Owners of 100mm tabletop Dobsonians generally praise the grab-and-go convenience and the parabolic optics for the size. Many say it is a strong first scope for the Moon and bright planets, while noting that faint nebulae and galaxies demand darker skies and larger apertures.
The Moon Mission Tabletop Dobsonian is a Dobsonian-style telescope with a parabolic glass mirror and 100mm of aperture. The parabolic mirror gives a wider field of view than other 100mm Newtonians, with sharper views of lunar surface details and crisp, pinpoint stars. It can be used to pan the Milky Way, view open star clusters and Saturn's rings, and look at deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula.
The telescope is compact and lightweight, and it is an entry-level astronomical model. To set up, take it out of the box and insert an eyepiece. To aim it, rotate the azimuth axis toward the object you want to see. Its small size makes it easy to take camping, on a picnic or on a hike, and it can sit on a bookshelf or desk when not in use.
It comes with two eyepieces for different magnifications and a StarPointer red-dot finderscope to help center objects. The Moon filter threads onto the bottom of an eyepiece to reduce the Moon's glare. It can also be used to observe Venus or bright terrestrial scenes. The two-sided Moon map is waterproof and tear-resistant. One side helps identify craters and surface features. The other highlights lunar regions to explore, with close-up photos and information.
