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).

Our pint-sized power performer StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Tripod Bundle will provide you and your family with pleasing, high-power views of the heavens whether there's a sturdy table nearby or not!
This value-packed bundle includes a handy field tripod, which is adjustable with a height range of 20" to 34.5" so you can position the SkyScanner 100mm reflector comfortably for viewing without a table. The tripod also features an extendable elevator column for crowd-pleasing performance.
The Orion StarMax 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Tripod Bundle also includes a high-power 6.3mm eyepiece, which provides a very powerful, 198x view in the 1250mm focal length 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope for high-magnification views of lunar crater details, bright planets, star clusters, and more. This ultra-compact 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" Super 3-element eyepieces yield powers of 50x and 125x, respectively. What's more, the included 6.3mm eyepiece provides a staggering 198x power view. The 90mm aperture Maksutov-Cassegrain collects over 25% more light than its GoScope 80 cousin, and up to 225% more light than a 60mm refractor telescope.
