Orion VX Telescope



The Orion VX telescope range are precision Newtonian Reflecting Telescopes, that provide an extensive array of alternatives, allowing you to create a tailor made system to match your all your observing requirements.

The VX series, is the culmination of combining many of the quality features of Orion's optical tube assemblies of the older Dobsonian, Europa and SPX ranges of telescopes which, are now, offered in a single, yet adaptable, VX range.

Faster focal length VX Telescopes excel in the area of Astrophotography while the greater focal lengths available will appeal to visual observers.

A great plus point with VX is the range of Mount Systems available from their own simple but stable Dobsonian Mount to the Industry leading Paramount ME Robotic System.Coupled with world-class optics (which can be further upgraded in the options on each model) the VX range will assist your pursuit of Astronomy perfectly.

As an added security, every model is supplied with a full Zygo report to show the characteristics of the mirror in your telescope.
