Messier 8
I'm relatively new to astronomy and astrophotography, but Orion has made it easy to get started at my own pace with a wide range of products that even a beginner can use to hit the ground running. I live in a very light polluted part of the nation and held off getting started for a long time because I thought that would be prohibitive. The ease of set-up of my Orion Atlas mount and with the use of light pollution filters like Orion SkyGlow have made short drives out of town and viewing/imaging sessions reasonable. I know I have a lot to learn, but I am having fun with the hobby and couldn't be more pleased with the awesome customer support and high quality products that I've received dealing with Orion.
