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 7.2-21.6mm Zoom Telescope Eyepiece is a welcome addition to any telescope accessory toolkit. This eyepiece has been a proven performer - it comes included in the Orion GrandView ED line of spotting scopes. We've been so impressed with the optical performance there that we realized it would make an excellent astronomical eyepiece in its own right!

Having multiple magnifications all built into one eyepiece allows the observer to quickly zoom to the right power for lunar, planetary and deep-sky observing, optimizing the size and contrast of the object on the fly. Actual magnification range will depend on the focal length of your telescope, but as an example: in an Orion SkyQuest 8" Dobsonian reflector with a 1200mm focal length, this eyepiece provides a continuous magnification range from 56x up to 167x.

This 7 element telescope eyepiece provides exceptional edge performance, and boasts fully multi-coated optics and extra-long eye relief ranging from 20mm (at 21.6mm) to 18mm (at 7.2mm). The apparent field of view angle ranges from 42° (at 21.6mm) to 65° (at 7.2mm). Excellent optics, coupled with a wide field of view make this eyepiece just about the perfect eyepiece to pair with any telescope!
