Some of the most picturesque celestial objects are too large to fit in the field of view of an imaging refractor and camera. What’s more, most objects in deep space are very faint and therefore challenging to image without taking very long exposures, increasing the potential for error. Our new Orion 0.8x Focal Reducer for Refractors addresses these obstacles by increasing your refractor telescope’s field of view while reducing the effective focal length by a factor of 0.8x, thereby providing a shorter, more optically “fast” focal ratio to increase astrophotography efficiency.

The Moon is one of the most enticing targets to view in the night sky. Thanks to its big, bright appearance and intriguing landscape features, the Moon is a favored sight by amateur astronomers all over the world. The Moon is in fact so bright with reflected sunlight, especially during a Full Moon, that it can overwhelm astronomers with distracting and view-degrading glare. The specialized 1.25” Orion Variable Polarizing Filter for 1.25” telescope eyepieces provides an elegant solution by toning down the brightness of the lunar surface so you can enjoy optimized contrast in each and every view of our nearest neighbor in the solar system.

The Orion Flip Mirror makes framing and focusing celestial objects for CCD astrophotography as easy as flipping a switch!

Turn any refractor or Cassegrain telescope into a high-performance daytime spotting scope with our Deluxe 45° Correct-Image Diagonal.   

Orion tele-extenders permit high-magnification "eyepiece projection" photography of the Moon and planets with a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Orion tele-extenders are designed to fit all Celestron and Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.

Made of anodized aluminum, the tele-extender fits over a 1.25" telescope eyepiece, with one end threading onto the eyepiece holder (visual back) of the telescope, the other end threading into the T-ring (sold separately) on your camera body.

This Standard Tele-Extender is a fixed-length cylinder that provides a single projection magnification depending on the focal length of the eyepiece you use.

Go after even the most elusive and faint deep-sky targets with the Orion 10" f/8.0 Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph. Featuring virtually coma-free optics for superb imaging performance, the Orion 10" f/8.0 Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph boasts a plethora of deluxe features

This affordable 10" astrograph is ideal for capturing stunning deep-sky astro-images.

Recently, Astronomy magazine ran a "buyer's guide" to portable 4" apochromatic refractors. All were impressive scopes, no doubt. But considering their price tags, which ranged from $2,695 (yes, that was the cheapest) to $3,595, you'd be excused if you didn't run right out and throw down your credit card for one. Here's something more practical: our 100mm ED apochromatic refractor.
