Orion Refractor Telescopes
|
Orion offers a range of refractor telescopes from normal achromatic refractors to ED refractors with enhanced colour correction. These refractors offer a better contrast and image sharpness than is possible with classical "Fraunhofer" refractors of similar aperture and focal length.

ED Refractor - 80mm Aperture - 600mm Focal Length

ED - Refractor 80/600mm
On the TS Astro-5 mount the ED80 is a very powerful instrument. We recommend it for astro-imaging without reservations. You can see the rayford focuser with locking thumbscrew and aluminium focus knobs. The star diagonal, eyepiece and tube rings are not included in the standard set. |

Star Pointer Red Dot (LED) Finderscope A Star Pointer red dot finderscope is available as an optional accessory for the Orion ED80. It fits directly into the quick exchange finder base that is integrated into the tube. A red dot (variable in brightness) shows you precisely where the Orion ED80 is pointed at. Just move the red dot to the position where you know your target to be and you will find the object in the eyepiece of your telescope as well. It's that simple. (further details in our online shop) |

An ED refractor with an aperture of a generous 100mm is generally considered a desirable but expensive all-purpose telescope. And now the last disadvantage has disappeared: Orion is offering an ED refractor with 100mm aperture at a price that had previously been thought impossible! Advantages of an ED refractor: - very portable. The telescope is even generally suited for airline travelling. - sharp and contrasty images on the moon and planets. False colour (the major contrast killer in a normal achromatic refractor) is drastically reduced. - excellently suited for CCD imaging and digital imaging - we also offer focal reducers and field flatteners for this telescope for even better results - wonderful wide-field observations are possible with the relatively short focal length of this telescope. 2" accessories are recommended! Specifications:
The Focuser is made of metal. It works on the modern Crayford principle (zero image shift) and accepts both 2" and 1.25" accessories. A locking screw between the two focus knobs allows you to lock the focuser in position to avoid losing focus. A 1.25" adaptor with integrated T2 thread is always included. |
