Collimating the Optics (Aligning the Mirrors) Collimating is the process of adjusting the mirrors so they are aligned with one another. Precise collimation of the optics is especially critical for fast Newtonian optics such as in the f/3.9 astrographs. If the mirrors are even slightly misaligned, image quality will suffer. So you should check the collimation before every observing or imaging session, to make sure it is dead- on. The process of collimation is a relatively easy and can be done in

A 07/11 2 Congratulations on your purchase of an Orion f/3.9 Newtonian Astrograph! These powerful imaging telescopes feature “fast,” high-quality parabolic optics, a 2" dual-speed Crayford focuser, and excellent mechanical construction with some special features. Optimized for astrophotography with DSLR and astronomical CCD imaging cameras, our f/3.9 Newtonian Astrographs are capable of delivering breathtaking imaging performance – for beginning to advanced astrophotographers.

The motor drive system also features a push button hand controller that can move the telescope along the right ascension (R.A.) and declination (Dec.) axes at speeds of 2x, 4x and 8x the sidereal rate.This provides an easy way to center objects in the eyepiece. The Dual-Axis motor drive system is also necessary for doing long-exposure astrophotography.The electronic hand controller allows positional corrections to be made to both the R.A. and Dec. axes of the mount during an astrophotographic ex

Each session with your telescope will be a learning experience. Each time you work with your telescope it will get easier to use, and stellar objects will become easier to find. Take it from us, there is big difference between looking at a well-made full-color NASA image of a deep-sky object in a lit room during the daytime, and seeing that same object in your telescope at night. One can merely be a pretty image someone gave to you. The other is an experience you will never forget! A. The Moon W
