Orion Eyepieces

Eyepieces focus the light coming from your telescope to your eye.  Along with the telescope optics, they determine the magnification of the image.

We use a lot of different eyepieces in the Observatory.  Just about every telescope manufacturer produces a line of eyepieces to complement their telescopes and other brands as well. Orion produces a range of affordable eyepieces, from low priced, "beginner's eyepieces" to extremely high quality eyepieces.

There are many different kinds of eyepieces and some have specific purposes.  Some amateur astronomers have cases of different eyepieces and others use a "minimalist approach" and only have three or four eyepieces in their kits. 

All Orion telescopes come with at least one eyepiece, others come with two.  Use this (these) eyepiece(s) learn your telescope. Then, get ready to take the plunge.  The staff at the Observatory can recommend eyepieces for your telescope and budget.  There are many Orion eyepieces that we can offer.

orion_stratusOrion Stratus Eyepieces

The Orion Stratus line of eyepieces has received rave reviews from all our customers who've purchased them.
The Stratus line sports a WIDE 68 degree field of view and a generous 20mmof eye relief--extremely important to eyeglass wearers. We find the
Orion Stratus to be less sensitive to off-axis eye placement than some other eyepieces with long eye relief. While some long eye relief eyepieces are prone to kidney beaning or blackout, we find the Orion Stratus to be less sensitive to these problems caused by off-axis eye placement.

We have found the 17mm and 21mm Stratus eyepieces superb in 8, 12, and 12 inch dobs!
