FOR BEGINNERS - Review of the Orion Short Tube 80 Telescope

FOR BEGINNERS

I avoided talking about price, because it seems as though Orion itself doesn't know what to charge. The price has actually come down quite a bit since its introduction in the 1990s. The newest version(s) sell for well under $200, and some of those even include a mount! Orion sold the optical tube (OTA) only for as little as $109.

Early versions had a 6X30 finder and generic eyepieces. Later versions came with a much better 8X40 finder and better Expanse eyepieces, usually 20 mm and 6 mm, and sometimes they even threw in a case. The later versions are preferred if you can find them. Also check Orion's "Clearance" section for bargains.
