2″ Orion LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set Review
A review of 2″ Orion LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set.
Price: 349.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
2″ Orion LRGB Astrophotography Filter Set – Product Warranty: One year
Product Type: Orion > Orion Filters
Take your astro-imaging to the next level with our 2″ set of LRGB (Luminance / IR cutoff, Red, Green, and Blue) filters. Our 2″ LRGB filters are useful for a variety of imaging systems including larger format CCDs. These specialized filters are designed for creating high-quality composite color astrophotos of deep sky objects with Orion monochrome imaging cameras or similar monochrome cameras. Combining separate images taken through these four filters with a monochrome CCD provides a higher resolution final image with better color rendition than an image from a comparably sized color CCD. Our 2″ LRGB filter set features robust dichroic glass filters designed for maximum light transmission. The color filters have a IR (infrared) and UV (ultraviolet) blocking coating, and all filters are parfocal to eliminate the tedious task of refocusing between exposure sets. Foam-lined filter case included.

Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider Review
Review of Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider.
Price: 109.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider – Product Warranty: One year
Type of Product: Orion > Orion Imaging Accessories
Designed for deep-sky imaging with Schmidt-Cassegrain and refractor telescopes, the Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider lets you image and guide simultaneously through a single telescope. This also eliminates tracking problems such as differential flexure and mirror shift that commonly occur when using a separate guide scope. The imaging camera sees the same movement the autoguider sees, resulting in highly accurate tracking for pinpoint stars. Prism tilt adjustment with captive thumbscrew and more than 100 degrees of radial movement allow for easy guide star acquisition. Coarse and helical fine focus adjustments make focusing easy and accurate. The Orion Deluxe Off-Axis Guider can be used with most imaging cameras, including DSLRs, and telescopes with sufficient inward focus travel (requires 59mm). Three different lengths of threaded T-extensions are included (7mm, 17mm, 30mm) to accomodate different camera/guider combinations. Not recommended for use with Newtonian reflectors due to their limited focus travel. One-year warranty.

Quick Release Shoe for Paragon HD-F2/XHD Tripods Review
A review of Quick Release Shoe for Paragon HD-F2/XHD Tripods.
Price: 12.95 USD
Manufacturer: Orion
Quick Release Shoe for Paragon HD-F2/XHD Tripods – Product Warranty:
Type of Product: Orion > Orion Mounts_and_Tripods Acces
Owning an extra quick release shoe for your Paragon HD-F2 or Paragon-Plus XHD tripod will allow you to leave a shoe attached to each of your cameras/telescopes for quick attachment to the tripod. Photographers often leave a dovetail shoe attached to each one of their cameras, so that they can very quickly switch them around and still use the same tripod. An extra quick release shoe can also be used as a replacement if you have lost your original mounting shoes.
