Orion UK 150 mm f/8 IDEAL Newtonian, OTA

The 6 inch Newtonian telescope is the ideal starting point when first starting with telescopes. A few reasons are as follows, they offer a great quality to which meets the eye, but also when using for basic astrophotography. As the Ideal 6 has a shorter range focal length of 750 mm and the Ideal 6L has a focal length of 1200 mm, a longer tube is required to suit this design. But don´t worry ... there is only a very small price difference! Normally, these telescopes are mostly used for looking at deep sky object, such as galaxies, star clusters and even nebulae such as the Orion Nebula, but this longer version has only 24% obstruction, making it a formidable instrument for planetary observation.

IDEAL Newtonian telescopes
Orion Optics UK has designed the IDEAL range to be the best telescope you can buy for the money on the market, New features include new fully CNC machined multi 9 point cell design to increase strength and stability for the new smoother optics they have ever produced. A new method has been designed and tested which has revolutionised the polishing of optics to increase your contrast and detail of every subject you look at through the telescopes. A all new fully designed, machined and tested in house 2" rack pinion (R+P) Eris focuser with smooth lock to hold your eyepieces perfectly central in your telescope.

A proven world standard Orion Optics has introduced over 20 years ago is the Zygo report of ever Telescope optic, the IDEAL range continues this standard.

All IDEAL models are fitted with a straight 50 mm finder, a quality 2" R+P focuser and 1.25" (31.7 mm) smooth lock adaptor. An aluminium tube allows the IDEAL telescopes to be fitted to mounts easily because of the lower weight involved. Precision, fan cooled, 9 multi point suspension mirror cell gives perfect support and cooling to the main mirror allowing the accuracy of the mirror to be maintained when cooling and controlling the weight distribution with the nylon support points.

Probably the best telescope range which will give some of the best images possible in a serious introductory telescope. A must for any amateur astronomer whether you´re starting out in the hobby or a seasoned enthusiast.
