Product Description

With exceptional optics, top-notch features and beautiful fit and finish, the Orion EON 115mm ED Triplet refractor telescope offers wide-field observers and astrophotography’s an impeccably crafted, true-color instrument at a great price. This premium refractor telescope’s generous, 115mm (4.5 inch) aperture collects ample light from faint deep-sky objects to provide crisp images with excellent color correction by virtue of the element of FK-61 extra-low dispersion (ED) optical glass in its air-spaced triplet objective lens. The apochromatic refractor’s medium 805mm focal length gives it a fairly fast, f/7.0 f-ratio which performs exceptionally well for wide-field visual use or deep-sky astrophotography. Multilayer anti-reflection coatings on every air-to-glass lens surface maximizes light transmission; while an extendable dew shield, blackened lens edges, and multiple internal knife-edge baffles eliminate off-axis reflections and glare to ensure excellent contrast. A massive, 3 inch dual-speed (11:1) Crayford focuser provides precise, backlash-free focus control and easily supports heavy astrophotography gear. The EON 115mm ED’s focuser can be rotated in two places, allowing camera framing to be set independently from your preferred positioning of the telescope focus knobs. Not only is the EON 115mm ED Refractor a great wide-field performer, it’s also conveniently compact and measures just 27.75 inch with its sliding dew shield retracted for easy transport and storage in the included 33 inch long foam-lined hard carry case. The EON 115mm refractor telescope features a dovetail finder scope base for use of optional aiming devices or Mini Guide Scopes. A thread-on metal objective lens cap, a narrow Vixen-style dovetail mounting bar and two heavy-duty hinged tube rings with multiple, pre-drilled and tapped M6 holes along the top and bottom are included.
