I received this kit as a present from my parents, and I was really impressed for the incredible quality of the eyepieces and everything in the package. I'm really amazed how this little kit can give you the most amazing views of all the planets. Great sharp images of the rings of Saturn, the cloud bands of Jupiter and of Mars and Venus. I highly recommend this kit to every amateur astronomer.

I received this telescope as a Christmas present. When I opened the box I got impressed for the great quality of the telescope and it's size. It looks amazing when you have it in front of you eyes. The assembly was pretty easy for me. The first day I saw the Moon with incredible detail. I didn't know how to explain it. Then I searched Jupiter and although I only have the 25mm eyepiece I was able to see the four Galilean moons and even some band clouds on Jupiter. Finally I decided to search for the Orion Nebula and WOW!!!, it looks wonderful!! (like a cloud). I will buy more eyepieces in the future to get more magnification. I made a one month research for a telescope and I have no doubt to recommend this telescope to everyone!!!. Highly, Highly recommended. Thanks Orion

The Orion Awesome AutoGuider Package will add tracking accuracy to any astrophotography set-up. Package includes everything you need to autoguide: ShortTube 80 guidescope, StarShoot AutoGuider, guidescope rings & plate, and extension tube for focus.
I've been using this setup to guide my 102APO and C8 Hyperstar. Its very easy to set up and start guiding. Have always been able to find stars and guide with this package. The only con is the focuser can be difficult to get that perfect focus but for guiding it hasnt been a problem. Also dovetail is very long. I had to cut mine down a little to fit my 102APO. Overall great guiding kit.
