The reason orion doesen't carry the argonauts, is likely the same reason they dont sell vixen refractors anymore, even their vixen made lanthanum and lanthanum...
I do not know why they quit selling them. It is a shame. I do know that they work great for Afocal photography but not prime focus. I could be wrong there may...
Joe; Distributors/Dealers change what they carry for many reasons. In the case of Orion they are the mass merchandiser of astronomical equipment in the U.S....
Just found the link http://www.telescope.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp? itemID=91937&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=6&iSubCat=24&iProductID=91937 ... to ... ...
I just received Orion's latest catalog and the IntelliScope for the SVP appears on almost every other page! Looks like a fairly simple install and the price is...
Don; I talked with tech support at Orion today and, as I figured from the pictures, the Polar alignment Scope and the Intelliscope DSC options cannot be fitted...
The intelliscope for the SVP mount is backordered until 11-15. I wonder if that is there first run and they are just promoing the product in advance or if they...
-Rich - I don't see why they couldn't figure out a way to still use the polar alignment scope with the DSC's. That's quite a trade-off, you can find all these...
i know its bad that you cant polar align but the answer is to dfrift align. In reality if you are doing astro photography you would normally drift align anyway...

Does anyone know how to get the manual setting circles on the Atlas EQ mount to work? I have tried to follow the directions in the manual, and the DEC works...
... Try some of these: http://www.islandeyepiece.com/ATM_building_supply/bits_peices.htm I have the aluminium ones on my Synta 80mm refractor and they're very ...
... Bill: I've been using the manual setting circles on my Atlas for over a year now, and have had excellent results. It is very important to do a good polar...
This may be kind of basic, but can you describe exactly what you're doing? If you point the scope to Arcturus, do you look up the known RA for Arcturus and...
Does anyone know where an acurate scale can be found or how to make one to go on the base of my XT-10 to use it as azimuth indicator. I have seen photos on...
... I drew mine (for an 8" Dob) using the free "xfig" drawing program <http://xfig.org/userman/> on a UNIX computer. I then printed it onto four A4 size sheets...

before checking the group, since I found the SVP DSC listing on the orion website last night, without looking at the group first, I noticed the same thing, and...
Hi Jim and Cliff, thanks ! :*) looks like that will be one of my xmas presents :*))) it's up to you cliff, a pic would be nice if it's not too much hassle ? ...
Hello all, I'm relatively new here and new to owning telescopes. I was an astronomy student from the '80's and have always wanted a good scope (or two, or...
Hello to the group. I'm a new member. My name is Rudy Pitte and I live in Chandler, Az (with accompanying light pollution from Phoenix). I bought one of the...
Rudy; A fellow club member has the XT10 and loves it. As received however images were poor and were much improved after we loosened the clamps on the main...
Steve; The SVP leg length is a compromise, a bit short for use near zenith with the 120mm F8.3 refractor and too long for use with a Newtonian, even with the...
... I did have a pair of Orion's "radial aluminium" knobs on my 8" Dob. They didn't fit very well - they are fixed by a screw into the end of the focuser shaft...
