Orion Telescopes was founded in 1975 by Tim Gieseler of Santa Cruz, California. The company was known as Optronic Technologies for the first handful of years, and they manufactured electronic accessories, such as single and dual-axis drive correctors under the trademarked name, AccuTrack. Later, "Orion" was created as a subsidiary of Optronic Technologies to market consumer telescopes, and by the late 1980's, Orion became the largest mail order reseller of astronomical equipment in the world. Amateur astronomers were excited to see the latest Orion catalog in their mailbox during those years. After all, that was before the internet came along, and, just like the Sears catalog back in the day, the Orion telescope accessories catalog was one of the few ways to buy astronomical gear in most parts of the country.
Today, Orion Telescopes manufacturers a dazzling array of astronomy products, including telescopes, equatorial and alt-azimuth Orion telescope mounts, and Orion telescope accessories like CCD imagers, eyepieces, Barlows, telescope cases, filters, binoculars, tripods, finders, and so much more. One of our favorite Orion telescopes for sale is the SkyQuest Dobsonian telescope. These very simple "Light Bucket" Newtonian telescopes give observers a lot of bang for the buck due to their large mirrors and lack of electronics, but Orion took the Dobsonian into the 21st century with the addition of computerized GoTo electronics! This "have your cake and eat it, too" telescope combines the ease and light-gathering of the classic Dobsonian with the cutting-edge electronics that customers have come to expect.
