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).

The Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Travel Telescope is designed to pack up and go whenever you hit the road, the trail, or the air. It excels for daytime birding, nature study, and scenic long-distance viewing, and will take you way beyond the Earth's horizon after sunset for some casual nighttime stargazing and Moon-watching. Plus, this value-packed Telescope Kit is loaded with fun extra accessories every stargazer will enjoy.

Built around a 70mm-aperture lens system, the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor is designed to obtain portable and detailed images of distant subjects. The telescope sets up in seconds on the included retractable aluminum tripod which allows smooth, easy pointing of the telescope. It comes with a correct-image prism diagonal so things seen through the telescope appear right-side-up and correct left-ro-right. Both a 20mm and 9mm Kellner eyepiece (1.25") are included for two different magnification options. An included 5x24 finder scope helps to aim the GoScope III. This complete observational system tucks away neatly in the included backpack for on-the-go action!

In addition to the complete telescope, the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor Travel Telescope Kit also comes with a great set of extra accessories at an amazing low price.

The Orion MoonMap 260 makes it easy to locate and learn about interesting features on the Moon.

With locations and names of over 260 features on the Moon such as craters, mountains, valleys, "seas" and more, the included Orion MoonMap 260 is a great tool for beginning astronomers. This detailed map will even show you where various spacecraft have landed on the Moon's surface! The whole family will enjoy looking at the Moon with the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor, then discovering the names of the craters and other features you've seen in the telescope.

Star Target

The Orion Star Target planisphere is a useful star chart wheel for any day of the year.

This circular star map lets you dial-in the month and day you're observing the sky, so you can see exactly which constellations and stars will be visible if skies are clear. Using the Orion Star Target is a great way for starters to plan their first stargazing sessions with the Orion GoScope III 70mm Refractor, since you'll know just where to point the telescope!
