Description

Welcome aboard to the Orion-Telescopes users group! This is your one-stop shop for info, answers and lively discussion on all of your favorite topics! We are a friendly, user-based, forum created for those who wish to discuss, read, contribute, and/or seek help on Orion or any other telescopes, and the things we see through them.

Nothing even remotely astronomy related is off topic, and almost any topic is likely to come up.

We are here to help guide beginners and people of all levels make choices and solve problems, discuss features, theory and operation of telescopes from the basics to advanced, share observing reports, light pollution issues, observing locations, weather and astronomy itself.

We encourage and invite your input, participation and feedback.
