As one of our satisfied customers put it, the Orion 190mm Maksutov-Newtonian Astrograph Telescope gives "BIG APO Refractor-like performance at 1/3 the cost", not to mention the savings over smaller premium astrographs. This "Mak-Newt" Astrograph is an ideal instrument for astrophotographic pursuits, but it can also be used for stunning visual observations on those nights when you'd rather stargaze instead of capturing images.
The Premium 190mm "Mak-Newt" Astrograph delivers crisply detailed and colorful images of deep-sky phenomena with its flat-field, coma-suppressed optics. The telescope's all-machined dual-speed 2" Crayford-style focuser with 11:1 fine focus control provides smooth motion and secure support for DLSR cameras, dedicated astrophotography cameras, and heavy visual accessories. The focuser includes 2" and 1.25" compression ring adapters for scratch-free insertion of eyepieces and other accessories. A T-thread adapter is included for direct attachment of a camera body (may require appropriate T-ring, sold separately). Two included tube rings and a narrow "Vixen-style" dovetail mounting bar are included for easy attachment of the 22 lb. telescope tube to appropriate mounts and tripods.
The 190mm Maksutov-Newtonian Astrograph optics provide tremendous resolution with its optically fast f/5.3 design. The impressive 7.5" aperture ensures plenty of light-gathering ability to capture superb images of even the faintest of deep-sky gems. Attach a camera, such as a DSLR or Orion StarShoot astrophotography camera, and you'll be ready to start producing top-notch astrophotos in no time!
The telescope's primary mirror is made of high-grade, low-expansion optical glass with enhanced reflectivity coatings for maximum performance. The primary mirror and the fully multi-coated BK7 meniscus lens combine to render truly spectacular images, with pinpoint stars across the entire field of view. The primary mirror and meniscus lens are securely held in place by three radially positioned nylon-tip set screws, which prevent any possibility of slippage or shifting. The 37.5"-long metal tube contains five knife-edge internal baffles for exceptional contrast.
The secondary mirror diameter of 64mm provides a very large illuminated field to take full advantage of larger CCD chips, found in DSLR cameras and many popular astrophotography cameras. The 100% fully illuminated field diameter of over 22mm produces brighter images with less vignetting compared to other telescope designs.
Our Premium Mak-Newt Astrograph performs just as admirably visually. The included focuser extension adapter allows visual astronomers to enjoy the sharp, high-contrast views that only a well-made instrument can deliver.
So go ahead, push the envelope of your own imaging capabilities - affordably - with the Orion Premium 190mm Mak-Newt Astrograph Telescope.

Beginner Level - Suited for a wide range of uses, these products are simple to operate and set up. Some initial assembly may be required depending on the type of product. Optical instruments with this rating will have very good optical and mechanical quality. Great for families, young people, and folks who don't want to mess with equipment and complexity. Beginning level telescopes will show you countless lunar craters, Saturn's rings and a myriad of star clusters and nebulae! Referring to the manual is recommended.
Intermediate Level - These products offer higher performance and more advanced features than Level 1: Beginner models. They typically take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments. But anyone with the slightest technical bent will have no problem getting familiar with these models. Referring to the manual is recommended.
Advanced Level - These products provide the best performance but may require more skill to master and appreciate. Optical instruments with this rating have exceptionally fine optics and mechanics. Some are easy to use but might be on the large or heavy side. Some are intended for specialized uses. These products will appeal to the more technically inclined. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.
