Please Note

Orion has made the difficult decision to close our warehouse facility in the Netherlands. With the continuing supply chain/logistics challenges and slowness in the economy we have found that it is not economically feasible to maintain operations in the UK and Europe.

We have therefore stopped taking orders on this website. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We will continue to have Orion dealers in Europe to meet the needs of Orion consumers. We will also continue to honor the 30-Day product return period as well as honoring the Orion warranty for purchases made in the UK and Europe.

Our US-based Customer Service Representatives are here to help. Contact them via email at support@telescope.com or in the United Kingdom, via phone at 0-800-041-8146 (Monday-Friday between the hours of 1300 and 2400 GMT).

Date Taken: 10/04/2011
Photographer: Thomas W.
Location: Monroe, GA

Mount: Orion EQ-1 Equatorial (Included with telescope package)
Camera: Polaroid i1036 digital camera

Exposure: 1 second
Other Equipment Used: Orion 15mm Expanse Wide Field 66 degree eyepiece (Included with telescpoe package) 30X, #5338 Orion SteadyPix Deluxe Camera Mount
Notes: This photo was taken near the end of my first session attempting afocal astophotography beginning around 10:30PM on the 3rd and ending around 3:00AM on the 4th. I did extensive testing with settings on the polaroid i1036 before I found the magic combination that gave me this photo. I was amazed that a 1 sec exposure actually picked up not only some of M42s nebulosity but actually color as well. I did literally no processing with the exception of reducing and sharpening image.
