Orion Clear-Aperture 9768 (216 x 91mm) Telescope - It's as if someone cranked up the "contrast" and "sharpness" dials on the night sky. In our SVP 3.6 Clear-Aperture reflector, Jupiter's cloud bands and Great Red Spot resolve dramatically from the surrounding blackness. The Moon bursts with bold lights and darks and high-definition relief. Gone is the "mushiness" you always took for granted. Even deep-sky objects stand out more starkly against the background, enabling detection of detail that can't be picked up even in larger reflector and Cassegrain scopes. Credit the "off-axis" optics. Unlike a typical Newtonian reflector, the SVP 3.6CA uses an asymmetric primary mirror — made in the USA — that diverts light "off axis" to a secondary mirror tucked just inside the tube. The secondary lies completely outside of the incoming light path, so it doesn't "obstruct" any light like the center-mounted secondary of a standard reflector. The result: killer contrast like that of a refractor.
