This C90 Mak has excellent optics with razor sharp images over a wide field, along with built-in T-adapter threads for adapting SLR cameras.

Orion StarMax 90mm TableTop Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope


Whoever coined the phrase "big things come in small packages", would have definitely applied that expression to our new StarMax 90 TableTop Telescope. This ultra-compact Maksutov-Cassegrain (Mak-Cass) gives surprisingly big views for an instrument of its modest size, making it an elegant first telescope or a great grab-and-go second telescope! The long, 1250mm (f/13.8) focal length gives the StarMax 90 TableTop some serious magnifying power - the included 25mm and 10mm 1.25" eyepieces yield powers of 50x and 125x, respectively. It collects over 25% more light than its GoScope 80 cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor telescope. So you''l be able to enjoy planetary delights such as lunar landscapes, Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons. As you scan the Milky Way, you''l also be able to pull in some open and globular star clusters, as well as a nebula or two. The tube assembly of the StarMax 90mm TableTop Mak-Cass Telescope is attached to a stable swivel base, via a quick-release dovetail mount with adjustable altitude tension. The tube can easily be removed from the base and mounted on an optional photo tripod. The small swivel base itself can also be mounted on a camera tripod with a 3/8" screw. A red-dot view finder, internal focuser (which moves the primary lens back and forth) and included 90-degree correct image diagonal round out the features of this compact, yet surprisingly capable, Mak-Cass telescope.

Orion FlexiShield for 150mm (6") Cassegrains


Every owner of a Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov telescope knows what a pain dew can be. When it forms on the front corrector plate or lens, it's usually time to call it a night. Our FlexiShield dew cap is the answer. It reduces the formation of dew, prolonging your observing sessions. It's made of durable, flexible ABS plastic that won't chip or break like hard dew caps. It wraps snugly around your telescope tube and fastens with Velcro. FlexiShield can be stored flat or rolled up for convenient storage and transport. It also makes an excellent lens shade when using your telescope in daylight.
