Orion UK 250 mm f/4.8 IDEAL Newtonian, OTA

For astronomers wishing to explore the universe in more detail, Orion Optics offers the Ideal 10 and Ideal 10L. Again as a comparison, these two models have almost 180% more light gathering power and 66% more visible detail available compared to the Ideal 6 and Ideal 6L. 250 mm telescopes are capable of some very serious observing and photography. Numerous discoveries have been made by telescopes of this size.

Although the tubes are somewhat larger in diameter than the 150 and 200 mm models, the actual amount of additional space they occupy is incredibly little but, for this small increase in its ´footprint´ you gain a massive increase of performance.

The Ideal 10 is the most popular of the two models, it has the big advantage of fitting across the back seat of every family car on the market leaving room for a passenger. Deep-sky is where this telescope will amaze you, add a camera adaptor with a T ring to your camera and the heavens will open to you. The Ideal 10L is an unbelievable performer on higher power targets, planets, the Moon, double stars etc, whilst still being able to offer some excellent deep-sky performance.

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.
