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.

Orion's highest-quality 102mm aperture apochromatic refractor telescope with a beautiful carbon fiber tube is a joy to look at, and to use!

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.

The 100mm aperture gives it 56% greater light grasp than our ED80. And the 900mm focal length (f/9.0) excels at visual planetary and lunar study and imaging work as well.
