Orion RedBeam II LED Flashlight

This versatile flashlight is just what the practical astronomer ordered. It features continuously
adjustable brightness so you get just the right amount of red LED light for your needs. Keep it
dim for reading star charts, or with a turn of the knurled finger wheel make it bright for walking
around the campsite or packing up for the night. Its twin LEDs are powered by one
replaceable 9-volt alkaline battery (included) that provides up to 600 hours of use. The
durable, 4-1/4" plastic housing fits easily in a pocket, or hang it around your neck with the
attached 20" looped cord. Let there be adjustable light!

Orion DeepMap 600 Star Chart
Orion proudly introduces the first-ever star chart that folds up like a road map! DeepMap 600
shows the positions of what we consider the 600 finest celestial objects visible from the
Northern Hemisphere. All are plotted on a giant 32" x 18" full-color star chart by
world-renowned star-mapper Wil Tirion and printed on plastic so it does not fall apart in the
dew!
DeepMap 600 was designed for easy location of hundreds of deep-sky objects with
telescopes and binoculars. Color-coded symbols identify more than 500 galaxies, nebulas,
and star clusters - including all 109 Messier objects - as well as some 100 of the most
interesting double and variable stars. No other single star chart includes so many objects!
The large rectangular map covers the sky from declination +70° to -60°. On the back side is a
map of the northern circumpo]ar region as well as a listing of essential data for each of the
600 plotted objects, including coordinates, apparent magnitude, angular size, and even a brief
visual description. Helpful text offers tips on using DeepMap, general observing hints, and
more.
What makes DeepMap 600 really indispensable is that it folds up "accordion style" to a thin,
pocket-size 4-3/4" x 10-1/2" - just like a road map! No longer must you fumble with bulky
books, star atlases, and observing references to find interesting objects to view. The
quick-reference DeepMap 600 is all you need.

Orion Star Target Constellation & Celestial Object Finder

For finding your way around the starry sky, there’s no better tool than a star wheel, or
“planisphere.” Whether you’re skywatching with just your eyes or with binoculars or a
telescope, it’s essential for learning constellations, identifying bright stars, and planning
observing sessions.
Our Star Target features a detailed star map drafted by celestial cartographer Wil Tirion. It
shows all constellations visible from mid-northern latitudes (30° to 50°) and unlike other
planispheres shows the locations of 100 showpiece star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies for
viewing with binoculars or a telescope. All are clearly labeled and visible under a red flashlight
(sold separately). You just dial in the date and time, and—voila!—Star Target displays a
current map of the night sky. On the back are simple instructions for using Star Target, plus
viewing tips and a calendar of annual meteor showers. A must for any stargazer, especially
beginners. Coated cardboard, with clear plastic window.
