We can guide you to better quality astro-images, literally, with our Orion Awesome Autoguider Refractor Package. No matter what telescope you're using for long-exposure astroimage capture, precise guiding is an absolute requirement to get pinpoint star images. Package includes Orion ShortTube 80 refractor, StarShoot AutoGuider, 1.25" Extension tube (for focus), Guide scope rings and Guide scope ring mounting bar.

If you were asked to describe the ideal telescope for amateur astrophotography, one that offered unparalleled performance wrapped in a compact design at an affordable price, your description would likely match our new 6" f/9 Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph.

As any prolific astrophotographer will tell you, the more light you can gather, the better your astrophotos will turn out. Combine light-gathering prowess with a compact design and an affordable price, and you're likely to end up with our new 8" f/8 Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph

As one of our satisfied customers put it, the Orion 190mm Maksutov-Newtonian Astrograph Telescope gives "BIG APO Refractor-like performance at 1/3 the cost", not to mention the savings over smaller premium astrographs. But we didn't stop there — further refinements have been made for even better imaging results!

TeleVue's celebrated 60mm f/6 APO is available with new features optimized for popular CCD and SLR imaging systems.

CCD cameras have challenged telescope optics beyond anything ever placed at the focal plane. I knew our APO objectives were up to the challenge, and with the proper tweaks would be extraordinary tools for the imager. With Tele Vue Imaging System ("is") telescopes, we have refined our instruments and optional equipment beyond anything a CCD chip has seen.

This first addition to the new Epsilon Series introduces the newly designed ED corrector and fast speed of f/2.8. This fast field photo/visual astrograph is perfect for digital 35mm cameras and CCD cameras. The great speed will enable the imager to record faint nebulosities invisible in slower instruments. Perfect for viewing comets and galaxies.

Complete system includes Epsilon-180ED f/2.8 hyperbolic flat-field astrograph OTA, double ring tube holder, EM-200 Temma-2M mount, accessory plate and SE-M tripod.
