Hi. Anyone have any luck using this one with the Orion Starblast 4.5? thanks.

I see No Reason why this Lens adapter would Not work with Your Telescope! You Need the T-Ring for your Camera and will need to Focus it! Orion Sells their Own Adapter! May be something Special that Only works with Orion Starblast! Check it out or Call Orion Customer Service and inquire about This! http://www.telescope.com/Telescopes/Dobsonian-Telescopes/Classic-Dobsonians/Orion-StarBlast-45-Astro-Reflector-Telescope/pc/1/c/12/sc/13/p/102010.uts

It will work well with any telescope with 1.25-inch lenses. According to the specifications for the Orion XT8 Classic, this will work. http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=102005&gclid;=CJDj45mbnL0CFfNxOgodQRMA_g

Thank you for your inquiry. Orion offers a single axis motor drive for this telescope and mount: Orion 7827 EQ-2M Electronic Telescope Drive. It is available on Amazon.

Though I have not done this there is a "steady pics" camera adapter that Orion sells about $30.00, it apparently fits 1.25" adapters, it isn't perfect but folks manage to get it to work after some trial and error, look it up and read their reviews on it. It also seems that the moon would be the only object that could possibly be photographed through this scope, since anything else would require a steadier set up, a better mount possibly. Orion does sell a star shoot camera that fits directly into a 1.25" adapter, it costs about $70.00 and I'm not sure how well that item works either, but it may be more stable than the steady pictures adapter, though I don't own it and no one has posted a review on it, Good luck.

Hi Anthony, I have not used the on a Orion cooker. If you want I will look it up and see how the cover will work on that cooker. You need to send me the Orion model number or send me the dimensions and I will look at the dimensions. I have been very happy with the cover. I was going through the same questions when I was going to buy the cover. There are so many, some are cheap and the price is all over the board.

It is compatible with my Orion t-ring adapter, but I believe that other t-ring adapters will have the same threads as well.

Hi, DB62. I'm not sure as I have never had experience with the Orion. But as I compare all of these 9X50's they all look like they have all come from the same manufacturer and use different names. My guess would be that they are close to identical. I love it for what it is and it is a marked improvement in light gathering over an 8X50 or my old 6X50. Let me know if you have any other questions! TM

Sorry, I don't know. I only have the basic Orion telescope, and that is the limit of my knowledge.JBK

I think they will not fit in the barrel of the Universal Adapter, only 1.25 inch eyepieces that has nearly the same diameter in both ends. Heres the specificacions offered in the Orion wep page: "Since the Universal Camera Adapter features an inside diameter of 38.6mm, you can insert any 1.25" telescope eyepiece that has an outer housing diameter of 38.6mm or less". Hope this was helpful for you!

I am not familiar with the Orion 09798 StarBlast but I would suspect it does use the 1.25 inch eyepiece since most respectable telescopes do allow for that dimension. I bought mine for my Celestron 9.25 and I am very happy with it. Hope you are equally pleased.

Not at all. It's as simple as it gets. Just point, focus, and enjoy. Just make sure the table you use as a base is steady. I think Orion also has a 6" table top for around $270. One thing I always enjoy is to slowly scan parts of the sky that appear empty. I'm always amazed at how much more I can see with a little help. Your best first target, IMHO, is the moon when it's not full. Look along the transition from shadow to light. The 3D effect will blow you away!

Thanks EvanThat does make sense.I have also since found out this item is discontinued by Celestron and replaced by the avx mount. May hunt to buy one of those instead but imagine same applies.

Thank you for your inqury. This tripod would work very well with those binoculars: http://www.amazon.com/Orion-5373-Large-Tritech-Tripod/dp/B0000XMYOC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1402099931&sr=8-8&keywords=orion+tripod.

Go to www.telescopes.com, the official website for Orion. The part should be available there.

I've just bought StarSense, I have Skyq already. Both appear to work independently of each other - and don't crash etc (on CPC-800 & iPad1) But Skyq doesn't seem to recognise StarSense alignments - and wants to do its own before continuing. I've asked Celestron, but they are not forthcoming.

Thank you for your inquiry. Regrettably, we don't have a bag that is designed for that telescope. There is a way to protect the OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) by placing it in our Orion 15959 Pro Pluck Foam Waterproof Accessory Case (Blue). The base would have to have its own bag or protection.
