Filter for astrophotography transmits 90% of light at 656.3nm wavelength (H-alpha).

If you're using a monochrome CCD camera like Orion's Parsec 8300M, these specialized "line" filters are the perfect complement. Orion's 2" Oxygen-III Filter has a full-width half maximum (FWHM) bandpass of just 7nm, ensuring high-contrast images, even in heavily light-polluted or brightly moonlit skies. The filter can be used separately or in combination with a filter wheel for advanced tri-color imaging of emission nebulae.

Effectively blacken the background sky with extra-narrowband filters to produce striking, high-contrast astrophotography of emission nebulae. Orion's 2" Extra-Narrowband Sulfur-II Imaging Filter will do just that. It is ideal for use with monochrome CCD cameras like Orion's Parsec 8300M.

203mm (8") aperture and 1000mm focal length f/4.9 reflector telescope optical tube for eye-popping views of deep sky and solar system objects alike.

254mm (10") aperture and 1200mm focal length reflector telescope optical tube provides vivid, close views of deep-sky and solar system objects.

Orion's 8” aperture deep-sky imaging specialist boasts features usually reserved for much pricier astrophotography telescopes. In fact, the Orion 8” f/3.9 Newtonian Astrograph’s powerful imaging performance easily exceeds what’s achievable with many premium apo refractors costing thousands of dollars more.

And it's those same high-performance optics that give the Orion Apex 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope such outstanding image quality and such an incredible range 

It's hard to beat this 6" aperture equatorial reflector telescope for all-around performance at a great price. Its 150mm-diameter (6”) parabolic Newtonian reflecting optics (focal length 750mm, f/5) pull down pleasing views of a rich variety of celestial objects. With the included 10mm Plossl telescope eyepiece (1.25"), you'll roam detailed lunar landscapes at 75x power; or see distinct, variegated cloud bands on Jupiter's disk. Pop in the included 25mm Plossl telescope eyepiece for some deep-sky thrills, where modest 30x power rewards you with contrast-rich images of cloudy nebulas and sparkling star clusters framed in a wide field of view. With additional optional telescope eyepieces or a power-boosting Barlow lens (sold separately), you can push the power to 150x or more on clear evenings.

As any telescope aficionado will tell you, the virtue of refractors lies in their pristine image quality. The only challenge to owning a refractor has always been the price: refractors cost more per inch of aperture than any other telescope design. That’s still true, but steady advances in precision lens manufacturing technology are bringing those prices down.

Whether you're looking to upgrade from your present telescope mount or are seeking a more robust equatorial system for your new telescope, you can't go wrong with the smooth-moving, sturdy Orion AstroView EQ. Its newly designed equatorial head has a dovetail attachment plate similar to that on the Orion SkyView Pro, Sirius, and Atlas mount heads. The AstroView supports up to a 5" refractor tube and has enclosed worm gears, an azimuth adjustment, and dual manual slow-motion controls. Hinged center brace adds stability to the all-aluminum adjustable tripod. Includes polar alignment scope and high-walled accessory tray. EQ-3M single- and dual-axis computerized drive systems are available separately. Weighs 27.5 lbs.

We love those premium "apo" refractors as much as the next guy. We just don't think you should have to work a second job or put the family heirlooms on eBay to own one. Now you won't, thanks to our amazingly affordable Orion 80mm Extra-Low Dispersion Refractor Telescope Optical Tube.

Portable yet powerful, these binoculars feature 70mm objective lenses and 15x power magnification.

Take your astrophotography to the next level with this set of 1.25" Luminance (IR cutoff), Red, Green, and Blue telescope filters. They're designed for creating high-quality composite color astrophotos with Orion monochrome imaging cameras or similar monochrome cameras.
