The Orion Waist Case Accessory Holder is a good way to keep your often-used accessories protected, organized and within easy reach so you don't have to fumble through the accessory tray or walk over to your observing table. Fits waist sizes up to 58"

Functional and fashionable
PostedJanuary 26, 2012
I LOVE my "fanny pack" (Sorry guys). It is absolutely perfect for my needs. I contemplated a regular eye piece case but, found it unpractical for my immediate sky watching routine. I like to switch back and forth between eye pieces and keeping eye pieces in one's pockets is not functional or safe either. Having the eye pieces immediately at hand and safe makes the sky watching activity much more enjoyable. I am also able to customize the eye piece holding slots by removing the foam inserts just like a large clumsy case.I can even make a slot for my lipstick! (HA!).Plus, it looks great on me. A great product.
Favorite viewing location: my backyard
Favorite object to observe: Lunar phases, Jupitor, Venus, Orion and his nebulea, Mars, etc...
Pros: function and fashion
Cons: only one color

I am a backyard stargazer and I experience light pollution where one can only observe with the unaided eye the most prominent high magnitude stars. The eyepieces really surprised with with the depth and clarity of the star field. Being new to the use of the telescope I was quite thrilled with the view. I purchased as my first telescope the Orion StarMax 90mm Mak-Cas starter kit (which I love) and the 3.6mm and the 6.3mm are a great addition to my new eyepiece collection.
Favorite viewing location: my backyard
Favorite object to observe: The Moon and her phases, Jupitor and his moons, Orion constellation and the Orion Nebeula, Sirius, the Pleiades etc..

For cleaning the lenses in your telescope or binocular, the Orion Microfiber Optics Cleaning Cloth lifts dirt, fingerprints, water and oil from surface without scratching, streaking or smearing delicate lens surfaces. The cloth is machine washable.

The cloth is very soft so it is delicate on the eye pieces. I keep it on hand when I am outside to clean off my telescopes glass. It does not scratch. It's also great for eye glasses.

It is so easy to use once you familiarize yourself with the telescope.

This is my first telescope. I highly recommend the Planetary kit combo. Economically, it saves one quite a bit of money instead buying the items separately. The soft wear is simultaneously extremely helpful and cool. I bought a camera tripod and it works well with the telescope.
