Description

Delivering an ultra-fast f/3.8 focal ratio with certified 1/10 PV wavefront optics, the Orion AG10 250/950 Carbon Astrograph OTA deep-space imaging telescope provides 0.46 arcsecond Dawes resolving power. Designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom by Orion Optics UK, this 250mm (9.84 inches) aperture instrument features a 950mm focal length, reaching magnitude 13.8 for full-frame prime-focus astrophotography.

The Orion AG10 250/950 Carbon Astrograph OTA utilizes a precision-annealed Suprax parabolic primary mirror treated with Hilux multi-layer coatings delivering 97% reflectivity. Its genuine multi-layer twill carbon fiber structural shell includes matte internal anti-reflective paint, an integrated 3-inch Wynn coma corrector, and a 3-inch dual-speed rack and pinion focuser with a 10:1 micro-drive. Supported by a CNC 9-point mirror cell, the 11.00 kg (24.25 lbs) assembly ensures zero mechanical flexure.

Key Features of Orion AG10 250/950 Carbon Astrograph OTA

Engineered for high-speed deep-space astrophotography, this 10-inch Orion Optics UK astrograph pairs certified 1/10 PV Suprax optics with an integrated 3-inch Wynn coma corrector. Its rigid carbon fiber tube and 9-point mirror cell deliver pinpoint star fields across large full-frame camera sensors.

  • 250mm (9.84 inches) aperture with 950mm focal length and ultra-fast f/3.8 optical speed
  • Precision-annealed Suprax primary mirror with certified 1/10 PV wavefront surface accuracy
  • Hilux multi-layer reflective coatings delivering 97% total optical reflectivity
  • 90mm secondary mirror obstruction (36.00% diameter, 12.96% area)
  • Integrated 3-inch Wynn multi-element coma corrector for full-frame sensor coverage
  • 3-inch dual-speed rack and pinion focuser with 10:1 micro-focus drive and rigid lock
  • Multi-layer twill carbon fiber structural shell with matte internal anti-reflective coating
  • CNC-machined 9-point primary cell suspension and heavy Losmandy-style dovetail bar

1/10 PV Suprax Primary Mirror & 3-Inch Wynn Corrector

The 1/10 PV Suprax parabolic mirror combines with an integrated 3-inch Wynn coma corrector to eliminate off-axis aberrations across full-frame sensors. With 97% Hilux coatings, this ultra-fast Orion astrograph OTA supports magnifications from 36x up to 500x.

Carbon Fiber Structural Shell & 3-Inch Precision Focuser

Eliminating tube flexure and thermal drift is crucial during long prime-focus exposures. The Orion AG10 features a twill-woven carbon fiber body shell that maintains rigid focus as outdoor temperatures drop. Its heavy-duty 3-inch rack and pinion focuser with a 10:1 micro-drive supports heavy CCD camera trains without drawtube slippage.

  • Heavy-duty 3-inch rack and pinion focuser with 10:1 planetary gear reduction
  • Multi-layer carbon fiber tube shell designed to eliminate temperature-induced focus shifts
  • CNC-machined aluminum support rings mounted to a heavy Losmandy dovetail plate

Orion Optics UK AG10 Warranty

The Orion AG10 250/950 Carbon Astrograph OTA is manufactured in the United Kingdom and backed by a 1-year limited warranty. The complete factory package includes the 250mm Suprax Newtonian OTA, integrated 3-inch Wynn coma corrector, 3-inch dual-speed focuser, CNC tube rings, Losmandy dovetail rail, and 1/10 PV Zygo wavefront report.
