Orion’s Collapse: The Shocking End of a Telescope Giant

According to Sky & Telescope, Orion ceased operations on July 9th, 2024. Unfortunately, this left a lot of people in the lurch. Customers whose expensive telescopes were there for servicing have not been able to get any updates or replies. In this video I try to discuss the potential repercussions.
