The refractor revolution continues at Orion with the SkyView Pro 100mm ED. It’s a complete observing package featuring the ED100mm apochromatic refractor optical tube assembly paired with the venerable SkyView Pro equatorial mount/tripod — at an unprecedented low price. The “ED100″ delivers images remarkably free of chromatic aberration, thanks to its fully multi-coated 100mm objective doublet. It’s crafted with one element of FPL-53 extra-low dispersion “ED” optical glass from Japan. The 100mm aperture gives it 56% greater light grasp than our ED80. And the 900mm focal length (f/9.0) is ideal for visual planetary and lunar study and excels for imaging[Read More]

The StarMax 102 provides plenty of light-gathering power (28% more light than a 90mm), quality Maksutov-Cassegrain optics, portability, and affordability. Its 102mm, fully multi-coated front corrector lens renders the rings of Saturn in razor-sharp detail and coaxes out the gaseous tendrils of the Orion Nebula. And with its 1300mm focal length (f/12.7) it has the same magnification range (up to 200x) as longer, bulkier refractors in a tube less than 12″ long! T-threads on the eyepiece adapter enable direct attachment of a 35mm camera body (with T-ring sold separately) for short-exposure shoots. Accessories are top-of-the-line: a sturdy German-type EQ-2 equatorial[Read More]
