Capture images of the Moon, planets, and Sun with the Orion StarShoot Solar System Color Imager IV. Small pixels provide exceptional resolution, and the included software allows the astrophotographer to process the images for fantastic results.
The Orion Apex 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope is both high power and compact - perfect for the beginner for both astronomy and terrestrial viewing. The correct-image finder scope makes locating objects a cinch.
The Orion AstroView Equatorial Telescope Mount is heavy-duty and can support up to a 5" refractor tube. The head has enclosed worm gears and slow-motion controls. Includes an adjustable aluminum tripod, polar alignment scope and accessory tray.
This Orion 3.68" Solar Filter fits the Orion Observer 60 Altazimuth Refractor Telescope allowing you to safely observe or image the sun. The glass filter is better than the Mylar because of durability and improved contrast.
The Orion 1.25" Astrophotography Flip Mirror is a real time saver. It allows you to find and focus your target visually through an eyepiece instead of by tediously taking pictures. Focus through the eyepiece, then flip the mirror for photographing.
Powering your telescope equipment at remote sites is easy with the Orion Dynamo Pro 12 Rechargeable Power Station. It includes a detachable red flashlight, white halogen spotlight, AM/FM radio, and booster cables to jump-start a weak car battery.
These Orion RockStable Anti-Vibration Pads dampen vibrations transmitted through your tripod legs so you get much more stable images through your binoculars or telescope. Comes as a set of 3.
