Caution: Objects viewed with this instrument are farther away than they appear. MUCH, MUCH farther away!

They just look so vivid and close because the Atlas 10's mighty 10" optics pull in photons by the bucketful. And with its brawny Atlas equatorial mount with built-in dual drives, this formidable package takes deep-sky observing to a whole new level.

The parabolic primary mirror is precision figured from Pyrex low-expansion glass and housed in a high-ventilation aluminum cell designed by Orion. The tube is outfitted with a 2" collimatable focuser (with 1.25" adapter) and a 9x50 finder scope. And there's no shrugging at the beefy Atlas mount. It features integrated RA and Dec drives and 2"-diameter steel tube legs.

This telescope is for the serious astronomy enthusiast seeking large-aperture resolving power and superior equatorial control, this space-penetrating powerhouse can be yours -- for a surprisingly low price, considering how much scope you get!

This is not a telescope for the faint of heart. It’s big and quite a load, to be sure. But if its size and weight don’t faze you, you are in for years of incredible observing adventures!

Weight of mount/tripod without counterweights: 54 lbs. Weight of optical tube assembly: 30 lbs. One-year limited warranty.

Includes Starry Night Software!
