Overview of the Orion Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight - Orion Telescopes

Magnetic 3-lb., 2 oz. weight elegantly solves problem of out-of-balance Dobsonian tubes! For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2EykUSs Balancing a front-heavy Dobsonian telescope can be a pain. We recently introduced an elegant solution: the Orion Magnetic 1-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight. But we realized that folks with big Dobsonians or those who are using heavier accessories on their Dobs may need more weight on the back end to achieve proper balance. So here is our newest solution: the Orion Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight! Ideal for balancing Dobsonian telescopes of 10" aperture and larger, the Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight works with any steel tube Dobsonian to offset heavy front-end loads, such as large eyepieces or barlow lenses, a solar filter, a big finder scope, or a smartphone mounted with an adapter for afocal photography. A counterweight is needed on the bottom end of the telescope to maintain proper balance, so that the front end won't drift downward while you're observing or photographing. Weighing 3 lbs. 2 oz., this Orion-designed counterweight consists of a ceramic block magnet encased in a steel housing with a beefy handle for easy grabbing, even with gloves on. The magnet boasts a strong 50-lb. pull strength, so it will stay put wherever you place it on the telescope's optical tube to achieve that perfect balance. Place it near the bottom of the tube for more counterbalancing effect, or closer to the altitude hubs for a more modest effect. And if one Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight is not quite enough weight for optimal balance, just add a second one, or one or more 1-Pounders! The bottom surface of the Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight is covered with black felt to prevent scratching of your Dobsonian telescope's finish, and includes two foam rubber stabilizing strips on the outer edges to provide a firm, non-slip grip and prevent the magnet from rocking on the curved optical tube. It has a durable black powder-coat finish. The Magnetic Dobsonian Counterweight even comes in handy balancing other types of steel-tube telescopes, such as equatorially mounted Newtonian astrographs, when more weight may be needed on the front end of the tube for proper balancing on the declination axis. Stop duct-taping that claw hammer to your Dob tube to balance that big light bucket! Get yourself a better balancing act: the Orion Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight. Or two! This video provides an overview of the Orion Magnetic 3-Pound Dobsonian Counterweight.

A great first telescope for beginners and families to test the waters of stargazing at an affordable price. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2NfMd6F For our UK customers - http://bit.ly/2Ng8T6Q For our English-speaking EU customers - http://bit.ly/2V83zoF Pour nos clients français - http://bit.ly/2SNU815 Für unsere deutschen Kunden - http://bit.ly/2SOgdwp Para nuestros clientes españoles - https://amzn.to/2GUkJCD Per i nostri clienti italiani - https://amzn.to/2NfyAV2 Beginning astronomers will enjoy hours of stellar exploration with this amazing little tabletop reflector telescope. Designed specifically with first-time telescope buyers and their families in mind, the FunScope is a great, affordable way to "test the waters" of stargazing. It's a real reflecting telescope with a 76mm (3") diameter polished spherical mirror which allows you to capture 60% more light than a typical 60mm beginner's telescope. More light gathered means the FunScope will provide views of the cosmos that are brighter and clearer than views in smaller diameter telescopes. Unlike many beginner-level telescopes you might find at department stores, the FunScope comes equipped with a host of useful accessories and features so you can start having stargazing fun right away. With the FunScope, the whole family can see craters, valleys, and mountains on the Moon in exquisite detail. You'll be amazed that you're looking at the same Moon you see out almost every night, since it looks so much more detailed and interesting when seen through the FunScope. The FunScope telescope's 76mm aperture, or diameter, can also obtain good views of bright planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. Seeing ringed Saturn in real-time through a telescope like the FunScope is a memory young astronomy hobbyists are certain to treasure for a lifetime. Jupiter also makes for a unique sight, and on clear evenings you'll be able to see the giant planet's four brightest moons (named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) which appear as four bright dots surrounding Jupiter. The FunScope's tabletop mount arrives pre-assembled in the box so you don't have to worry about assembly. The tabletop base provides a sturdy and compact foundation for the telescope with smooth motion in altitude (up and down) and azimuth (left and right) axes. Weighing just 3 lbs. 11 oz., the ultra-portable FunScope TableTop Reflector Telescope Moon Kit can go with you just about anywhere! It makes a great gift for anytime of the year, and is sure to get "oohs" and "aahs" once unwrapped. This video provides an overview of the FunScope 76mm TableTop Reflector Telescope.

Overview of the Orion CC8 8" Classical Cassegrain Telescope

Classical Cassegrain optical design excels for high-power lunar and planetary observation and imaging. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2SPaXrC Our CC8 8" f/12 Classical Cassegrain Telescope excels for high-resolution lunar and planetary viewing and imaging, and will get you in close on tight deep-sky objects such as globular clusters and planetary nebulas. The Classical Cassegrain optical design utilizes a parabolic primary mirror and a hyperbolic secondary mirror, which for the CC8 allow a long, "folded" focal length of 2400mm to be tucked into a tube just 25" long (including focuser). That compact tube, which weighs under 19 lbs., means the CC8 is easily supported on a modest-size mount such as the Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G, even when equipped for photography with an extension ring and optional finder scope and imaging camera. Both mirrors are made from quartz and can take a very fine polish. The enhanced aluminum coating delivers 96% reflectivity, and a protective quartz overcoat protects the finish. The 200mm primary mirror is fixed in place so you won't get image shift or mirror flop like you do from a typical Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov, whose mirrors slide forward and back when focusing. Also unlike a Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov, the CC8 has no glass on the front end to dew up. It's an open tube with 11 baffle rings inside to control stray light and ensure maximum contrast. The 8" f/12 Classical Cassegrain Telescope features a machined, dual-speed (10:1) 2" Crayford focuser equipped with a sturdy linear-bearing mechanism for enhanced rigidity and stable support of heavy astrophotography equipment. It allows use of 2" accessories, and a 1.25" adapter is included for use of 1.25" eyepieces and accessories. Sold as optical tube assembly only, the Orion CC8 8" Classical Cassegrain Telescope comes with TWO dovetail finder scope bases, giving you the freedom to mount an optional Orion finder scope on either side of the focuser, or to mount a small guide scope and finder scope simultaneously. A wide, D-plate mounting bar affixed to the bottom of the optical tube allows its attachment to any telescope mount equipped with a compatible mounting saddle. A narrower, V-style dovetail bar on top is ideal for attaching an optional guide scope or a second telescope. Also included are three glare-threaded extension rings: one 50mm and two 25mm in length, to allow focus with different eyepiece and diagonal combos or imaging cameras. Backfocus distance from the end of the 2" accessory collar is 166mm. This video provides an overview of our CC8 8" Classical Cassegrain Telescope. We offer several other cassegrain telescopes, many of which are described in these videos: Overview of the Orion 180mm Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQICj5_6Fjk Overview of Orion 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope Optical Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4LFN-9C-cI Overview of the Orion StarSeeker IV 127mm GoTo MakCass Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdjr8xSHGRc Features of the Orion Starseeker IV 150mm GoTo Mak Cass Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpnOEzq8qUs Overview of the Orion StarSeeker IV 102mm GoTo MakCass Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClRZLONVzcs&t=2s View our complete selection of cassegrain telescopes: http://bit.ly/2IblGIZ To be notified when new videos are added to our growing library of stargazer how-to videos, subscribe to the Orion channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/oriontelescopes/ Visit https://www.telescope.com to find high quality products for amateur astronomers.

Overview of the Orion CC6 6" Classical Cassegrain Telescope

Classical Cassegrain optical design excels for high-power lunar and planetary observation and imaging. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2tizHdl Our CC6 6" f/12 Classical Cassegrain Telescope excels for high-resolution lunar and planetary viewing and imaging, and will get you in close on tight objects such as globular clusters and planetary nebulas. In a telescope market currently saturated with short-focal-length, wide-field instruments, the CC6 stands apart by offering something for those wanting serious magnifying capability but in a compact form factor. With an optional 10mm eyepiece you're already probing at 183x magnification. There is no pesky chromatic aberration since there are no lenses as in a refractor. The Classical Cassegrain optical design utilizes a parabolic primary mirror and a hyperbolic secondary mirror, which for the CC6 allow a long, "folded" focal length of 1836mm to be tucked into a tube just 20.5" long (including focuser). That compact tube, which weighs just 12 lbs., means the CC6 is easily supported on a modest-size mount such as the Orion Sirius EQ-G, even when equipped for photography with an extension ring and optional finder scope and imaging camera. Both mirrors are made from quartz and can take a very fine polish. The enhanced aluminum coating delivers 96% reflectivity, and a protective quartz overcoat protects the finish. The 6" primary mirror is fixed in place so you won't get image shift or mirror flop like you do from a typical Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov, whose mirrors slide forward and back when focusing. With the CC6, focusing is done with a precision 2" dual-speed (10:1) Crayford focuser machined from solid aluminum. Also unlike a Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov, the CC6 has no glass on the front end to dew up. It's an open tube with eight baffle rings inside to control stray light and ensure maximum contrast. Sold as an optical tube assembly only, the Orion CC6 6" Classical Cassegrain Telescope comes with TWO dovetail finder scope bases, giving you the freedom to mount an optional Orion finder scope on either side of the focuser, or to mount a small guide scope and finder scope simultaneously.

Overview of the Orion 12" Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph

12" (304mm) aperture, f/8 Ritchey-Chrétien optics housed in a thermally stable carbon fiber Serrurier-design truss tube assembly. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2N4gdSM The new Orion 12" f/8 Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph features premium quartz mirror optics housed in an ingenious truss tube support structure originally developed back in 1935 for the 200" Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory! This exquisitely engineered telescope is optimized for large-aperture astrophotographic excellence - and will take your imaging pursuits to a whole new level! Unlike conventional Newtonian reflector and Schmidt-Cassegrain designs that are susceptible to displaying coma away from the center of the field, the Orion 12" f/8 Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph utilizes hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors to achieve wonderfully flat images that are virtually coma-free. Plus, since there are no lenses involved, images are delightfully free of chromatic aberration, for true-color performance. Both the 12" (304mm) primary mirror and the secondary mirror are figured from low-expansion quartz glass and boast enhanced aluminum coatings to provide 96% reflectivity. The primary mirror is fixed in place to eliminate annoying "image shift" that plagues Schmidt- and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes. The secondary mirror is precisely center-marked to facilitate collimation. The Serrurier carbon fiber truss system is thermally very stable, minimizing the effect of ambient temperature changes on the telescope's focus. Plus, since it's an open tube, the optics cool down faster than solid tube versions. The Serrurier system utilizes two sets of opposing truss tubes on either side of the declination pivot plane, which keep the optical elements parallel to each other no matter how the telescope is oriented, thus keeping optical collimation precisely intact. Stainless steel ball and socket hardware connects the truss tubes to the telescope's three large CNC-machined aluminum support plates. The focuser on the Orion 12" f/8 Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph is a masterpiece of rigidity and precision. The CNC-machined 3.3" dual-speed (10:1) linear bearing Crayford focuser features a stainless steel rail on the drawtube that provides extra support for up to 9 lbs. of imaging gear without flexure or slippage. The focuser can be rotated 360 degrees for image framing. Both 2" and 1.25" non-marring compression ring accessory collars permit the use of 2" or 1.25" accessories.

Overview of the Orion EON 110mm ED F/6.0 Apochromatic Refractor Telescope - Orion Telescopes

Beautifully crafted refractor with a 110mm (4.3") air-spaced doublet lens made with FPL-51 ED glass. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2SMug4O The EON's generous, 110mm (4.3") aperture gobbles up photons from faint deep-sky objects and offers ultra-crisp images and great color correction by virtue of the FPL-51 element of extra-low dispersion ("ED") optical glass in its air-spaced doublet objective lens. The refractor's 660mm focal length gives the EON 110mm ED a fast, f/6.0 f-ratio which performs exceptionally well for wide-field visual use or deep-sky astrophotography. And now the EON 110 ED has been upgraded with a twist-tight 2" focuser collar and a 1.25" twist-tight adapter for quick and ultra-secure attachment of accessories to the focuser. A simple clockwise twist of the knurled aluminum collar precisely centers any inserted eyepiece or accessory and holds it firmly in place. Both collars feature non-marring brass compression rings. Also, now the EON 110 ED comes with a dovetail finder scope base installed - ready for the addition of any Orion finder scope or reflex sight (sold separately). Not only is the EON 110mm ED Refractor a great wide-field performer, it's also delightfully compact and measures just under 22" with its sliding dew shield retracted for easy transport. Unlike heavier, bulkier astrophotography telescopes, the EON 110mm ED needs only a medium-sized mount to support It, such as the Orion Sirius EQ-G. The refractor's optics are fully multi-coated for maximum light throughput so you'll get the most out of each and every photon collected by the telescope. Three optimally placed knife-edge baffles inside the optical tube ensure rich contrast by eliminating off-axis reflections and glare that can be detrimental to both visual and astrophotographic pursuits. The 2.7" hybrid-drive rack-and-pinion focuser outperforms most Crayfords we've used. The focuser's integral 8-ball-bearing system, helical gear drive, and dual-speed (11:1) motion control gives both silky smoothness and unflinching rigidity. The focuser features a patented focus lock mechanism that locks the drawtube in two directions, providing a much more rigid lock than most focusers. In fact the focuser is solid enough to easily support astrophotography equipment trains weighing up to 17 lbs. - without slipping. The EON 110mm ED's focuser can be rotated in two places, allowing camera framing to be set independently from your preferred positioning of the apochromatic refractor telescope's focus knobs. The rugged focuser's drawtube sports an engraved millimeter scale to aid in focus point repeatability - a great time-saver during astrophotography sessions. For wide-field visual use during the day or night, 1.25" and 2" diagonals and eyepieces can be used with the EON 110mm ED refractor.
