Any amateur astronomer looking for sharp, and comfortable views through a telescope will appreciate the exquisite optical performance and build quality of our 14.5mm Orion Long Eye Relief eyepiece. Its 20mm eye relief provides comfortable view.

I have worn glasses since I was 12, and looking through a normal eyepiece has been tough for me. Now that I got this bad boy, I can see the entire field of view comfortably. The optics themselves are very clean and crisp. Overall a great product, but a word of caution the 14.5mm eyepiece is very wide and somewhat heavy. If a little weight isn't a problem for your mount like mine, then you should have no worries with this eyepiece!
Favorite viewing location: The local Park
Favorite object to observe: Jupiter
Pros: great for glasses wearers, orion quality optics
Cons: some what more bulky than standard eyepieces
Yes, I recommend this product!

The Orion AccuFocus Electronic Telescope Focuser works with many Orion telescopes for pushbutton control of your focuser. It is very easy to install and is powered by one 9V battery (included).

Poor fit out of the box, but otherwise great!

Yesterday, my Accu-Focus came in the mail and I started to mount it to my old Orion/Celestron StarSeeker 70mm GoTo refractor. Although the bracket that came with the Focuser was lined up, my focuser cover screws weren't long enough for it to fit. After a trip to my local Ace Hardware, I found two longer screws and fitted the focuser to the scope. The focuser works wonderfully, with little in the way of vibrations. Even though it is slow, the focus is crisper and cleaner, than doing it by hand. I love the product, however I wish that Orion would include longer focuser cover screws with the focuser, so that it can be installed right out of the box.
Favorite viewing location: The local park
Favorite object to observe: Jupiter
Pros: metal design reduces warping, very precise focusing can be achieve
Cons: some scopes cannot use this right out of the box
Yes, I recommend this product!
