Orion EON 120mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope

The Orion EON 120mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescope delivers strikingly detailed views of planetary subjects yet has enough aperture to render revealing images of all the Messier objects and many other deep-space denizens. The EON 120ED's optics consist of a fully multi-coated, air-spaced 120mm objective doublet lens of exceptional quality, containing one element of FPL-53 extra-low dispersion - "ED" - optical glass.

The ED glass virtually eliminates the color fringing around bright objects resulting from chromatic aberration. Images are crisp, sharp and color-pure, even at magnifications upwards of 250x. The big 120mm objective has a 900mm focal length (f/7.5), a combination that provides excellent high-contrast resolving power, with enough magnification to home in on smaller targets. Baffles inside the optical tube, glare threads in the focuser drawtube and a retracting lens shade/dew shield eliminate unwanted glare. Like all EON telescopes, the 120ED has a beautifully machined Crayford-type 2" focuser with a removable 1.25" insert, allowing use of either 2" or 1.25" accessories. The gearless Crayford design provides smooth, zero image-shift focusing.

The dual-speed focusing knobs have an 11:1 micro-focusing ratio to ensure you achieve the critical focus for your images. The focuser is rotatable 360 degrees, allowing comfortable eyepiece positioning or easy image framing when you're taking pictures. A dovetail finder scope base comes standard and accommodates any Orion finder scope or EZ Finder. The EON 120ED comes with two hinged tube rings and a dovetail mounting plate. Also included are an aluminum objective lens cap and a sturdy, aluminum-clad carrying case with custom foam interior and carrying handle.
