How is this a stunt? The event is real, and interesting to many people.
The factual information provided is excellent. The instruments shown are
well matched to both the event and the probable market of beginning
observers. What is wrong with a company that sells astronomical
instruments using an unusual astronomical event as a marketing tool?

I do agree Chris, and they DO confirm one's order, ship and deliver on
time. If a problem occurs(not usual) it is dealt with THEN & NOW.

Whats not to like?

I don't get it. Solar filters sell out before solar eclipses, binoculars
and small telescopes sell when there's a bright comet coming in. Are those
stunts? I'm going to be watching and if I needed something to watch it
with this would be the time to buy it.

Brilliant marketing. Kudos to Orion's marketing genius for thinking of
this first. He/she should get an award, and probably a raise. Well
done, on the mark, topical, real sex appeal. Did I say brilliant?

Of course, it will take a much larger telescope to resolve the spaceship
hiding behind the comet. g

What's the problem?

Unfortunately the time of impact will not be visible in almost all of the
contiguous USA according to
http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/Earth_view.html
That is not mentioned in the ad.

Europe is also out of the picture (excuse the pun).
