Orion telescope out of business
Author Last Post

I have a Coronado Solarmax filter that I got many years ago. Over the years the humidity had caused some fungal growth inside the filters. I sent it to their Mexico facility and they made it like new. They quoted $250 but charged $175. This was only a year ago. I'm glad they had a quick turnaround and got it back to me prior to this development. I read some postings that some folks that had sent equipment to them haven't gotten their stuff back and the prospects of that happening are dim. Hopefully someone buys up the company and the operations will resume.

Hi Lowell,

Both Orion and Meade are shut down. Kaput!Gone!


Hate to see them go. I have quite a bit of Meade and Orion equipment that has served me well over the years.


Get any driver updates before the web site is gone.

I just watched this video. Not good. It appears that Orion telescopes has shut down. Orion owns Meade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjsx2T55PHc
