In addition to our 2.3 metre Home Model, 3.5m School Model and 6.7m University Models, demand from customers has meant we have increased the size of the Sirius family to include the 5 metre College Model. This latest design gives plenty of room, yet is still small enough that it can be put together without a specialist supervisor. An easy to follow instruction manual is sent with every observatory sold. All our observatories are made from extremely high quality materials, yielding a deterioration rate of only 0.1% per annum after 20 years under normal conditions, if properly maintained. We can provide them in any colour, although most people choose white to keep things cool in the summer months. For those that prefer a simple approach to life, the 2.3m and 3.5m can come in either a manual or a motorised version. (The 5m and 6.7m are too large to operate manually.) All sizes can have a Maxdome motor installed to co-ordinate the shutters; the dome rotation and the telescope direction. Developed and built in Australia, our observatories withstand some of the coldest regions on the planet (including northern Finland), to some of the warmest (including Australia, the Utah desert, Arizona etc). Specifications: Wall height: 1,8m Dome Only Height: 2,65m Total Height: 4,45m Dome Outer Diameter: 5,0m Dome Inner Diameter: 4,8m Included Observatory with walls, Race and attachment ring for existing foundation.
The School model with a diameter of 3.5m sufficient place for instruments with an opening of up to 600mm. This dome size is suitable for Newton telescopes, SC telescopes (like the LX200GPS 16") or a RC-telescope with 500mm opening on an equatorial Mount. The School Model is for associations and schools, up to 9 persons. The School-Model is not motorised, motorisation for dome rotation and/or shutters is optional available. Specification: Total height: 3.25m Wall height: 1.5m Dome diameter: 3.5m Aperture width: 1.0m Aperture length (to Zenit): 400mm Wind speed: 144km/h Door size: 1.15m × 1.0m Included Observatory with walls, Race and attachment ring for existing foundation.
The 2.3m Observatory is suitable if you have a 14" SC- or RC-Telescope. With sufficiently place for an instrument and two to three persons the Home model is particularly meant for ambitionierte amateurs, is suitable however perhaps even for smaller associations. The Home-Model is not motorised, motorisation for dome rotation and/or shutters is optional available. Specification: Total height: 2.83m Wall height: 1.5m Dome diameter: 2.3m Aperture width: 0.6m Aperture length (to Zenit): 250mm Wind speed: 144km/h Door size: 1.15m × 0.8m Included Observatory with walls, Race and attachment ring for existing foundation.

The "Wow-effect" eyepiece: You see deep sky objects as if you were in space! It makes you forget that you are looking through a telescope. This makes up for an unforgettable observing experience, that even exceeds the expectations of demanding amateur astronomers. Of course, it has the same specifications as the already well established 100° eyepieces: inert gas purged, and waterproof, the high-end EMD coatings are protected from the outdoors. Dust, fungus, humidity and cleaning solutions cannot harm the precious eyepiece for years of observing to come!
These eyepieces with their huge apparent field of view not only gave the observer a panoramic visual experience, but they relax the eye so the observer could pay attention to subtle details for extended periods.These ultra-wide angle eyepieces played a critical role in the military for aiming at targets, and their long eye-relief counterparts helped reduce eye injury from recoil.Each 100° Series Argon-Purged Waterproof eyepiece is internally sealed and purged with inert, dry argon gas to prevent internal fogging, to halt the intrusion of fine particulates and fungus. This also maximizes the life of the internal coatings.To make sure, every 100° eyepiece is tested by submerging them down to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.All 100° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.
The new EQ6 SynTrek is effectively a hybrid of the standard EQ6 and the EQ6 PRO SynScan.

The Explore Scientific EXOS2-GT with PMC-8 Electronics is quite unique and special. Most of the serious amateur mounts on the market today offer single processors. The PMC-8 electronics are extremely robust. They include a 2-Channel Multi-Processor Micro-controller with 8 CPUs that run independently and are completely deterministic in their behavior, thus the name PMC-8. Within this multi-processor system is a 64 Kbyte EEPROM Non-Volatile Memory bank used to store parameters; a Wireless Ethernet 10/100 with full IP function which permits operation from anywhere using a browser, ASCOM, or APP over the web or serial port; and Non-Volatile Memory used to store user selected parameters. The electronics also includes an Auto-Guide port (ST4 contact input) and features the only wireless ASCOM driver on the market. The belt driven system uses 2 timing pulleys (1-45 groove and 1-10 groove) with fiberglass re-enforced neoprene belt connected to a Nema11 bi-polar stepper .67 amps 12ncm motor then connected to the worm. Precise ball bearings in both axes ensures minimal backlash at all nine possible tracking speeds. The included battery pack (12 V) takes eight size "D" batteries. The head rests on a very tough and rigid stainless steel tripod with adjustable 2" legs from 26.8" to 42.5" and can support up to 28 lbs. of equipment. This system is all controlled from a tablet, notebook or desktop pc with 7" display and WIN8.1, WIN10, iOS or Android 4.4 with a beautiful full graphical user interface using our very own ExploreStars OpenGoto® Software. The ExploreStars OpenGoto® Software has the same basic functions as most all other mounts on the market today. ExploreStars is a free App downloadable from the Microsoft App store and GooglePlay. The basic download includes a standard 2 star or 3 star alignment procedure, over 70,000 star database, the Messier Catalog and Solar System objects. The software interface features a Classic four-button pattern for guiding, centering, moving and slewing on the touch screen of your tablet or phone. Pull-down menus open to offer the intuitive 2 star and 3 star alignment procedure, selection of the various catalogs, guided tours, the sync button, the park position, search feature and the coordinate input screen to enter RA and DEC coordinate information.

Explore Scientific 82° Series™ extreme wide field eyepieces are optimized to produce high contrast, high resolution, and superior flat field characteristics.The visual effect of these eyepieces with their long eye-relief and their 82° apparent field is truly a full-immersion experience. Your eye is relaxed, allowing you to easily use the "averted vision" technique to study faint details across a huge field-of-view. The 82° Series eyepieces come with a twist-up rubber eye-guard that raise to the desired height for the comfort of the observer, and as experienced astronomers know, eye comfort is critical when trying to observe at the visual limits of the telescope. To keep internal reflections to a minimum, all internal surfaces of the eyepiece barrel are flat black, as well as the edges of the lenses themselves to minimize the scattering of light within the lenses themselves. All 82° Series eyepieces are fully multi-coated and edge-blackened to produce maximum contrast.
With the introduction of the 68° Series we are pleased to make two important improvements in eyepiece manufacture, the first being 15 layer Enhanced Multi-layer Deposition (EMD™) coatings on all glass-to-air surfaces to gain maximum contrast and waterproofing the eyepiece with the use of Argon gas purging instead of standard Nitrogen gas. Although Nitrogen is a fine choice that will last for many years, Argon is a larger molecule that maintains its protective properties over a wider range of temperatures and is even more resistant to diffusion thereby further extending the protective waterproof environment of the eyepiece body.Through computer-optimized design, a careful selection of optical glasses, and enhanced multi-layer deposition coatings, the Explore Scientific 68° Series™ eyepieces produce long eye-relief and ensure high image-correction, a flat field, and high contrast across the entire image field. An excellent choice for those who make extended visual studies of detail with subtle variations of brightness, and for those who must wear glasses while observing.All 68° Series eyepieces are fully EMD (Enhanced Multi-Layer Deposition) coated and edge-blackened to produce superior contrast.

A superb grab-and-go mounting suitable for both terrestrial observations and astronomical viewing.
The ULTIMATE nebula filter. The original Lumicon Ultra High Contrast Filter is unbeatable for revealing nebulosity. This achievement in filter performance is attributed to exclusively designed coatings that isolate the two doubly ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm) and the H-beta line (486nm) emitted by planetary and most emission nebulae. The result is superb views of the Orion, Lagoon, Swan and other extended nebulae. Useful to great advantage under dark skies.
The Lumicon Comet Filter, a narrow bandpass system (25nm), isolates the 501nm OIII line and both Cyanogen lines at 511nm and 514nm. The high contrast gain of the filter reveals the delicate ionized tail of gaseous comets, allowing you to see their full extent. The Comet Filter also helps you to better distinguish gaseous comets from dusty comets which normally show little contrast gain. Howard Brewington, a famed comet discoverer, says: "I discovered Comet Aarseth-Brewington, 1989a1, using the Lumicon Comet Filter. The filter doubled the contrast, making the comet very easy to spot." Why make comet-hunting harder than it needs to be?

Inside the metal, foam-lined carry case you’ll find these accessories:32 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”;17 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”;13 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”;8 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”;6 mm Plossl Eyepiece - 1.25”;2X Barlow Lens - 1.25”;#80A Blue Filter - 1.25”;#58 Green Filter - 1.25”;#56 Light Green Filter - 1.25”;#25 Red Filter - 1.25”;#21 Orange Filter - 1.25”;#12 Yellow Filter - 1.25”;Moon Filter - 1.25”.Eyepieces - All five Plossl eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 1.25” focuser. Each eyepiece features a four-element design with a 52º apparent field of view. The optics are fully multi-coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 32 mm Plossl eyepiece offers a low power, wide field view in most telescopes, the 13 mm & 17 mm focal lengths are good medium-power oculars, and the 8 mm & 6 mm eyepieces provide high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good.2X Barlow Lens - The included, and very versatile 2X Barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece. Since this kit includes five (5) eyepieces, you will be able to use them with and without the Barlow, giving you a total of ten magnification options in all. Any other 1.25” eyepieces you already have will also work in this desirable accessory, giving you even more magnification choices. Remember, high magnifications do not always produce clear, sharp results, especially on evenings of poor or moderate seeing conditions. Experiment to find the magnifications that are best for your telescope on a particular night.Filters - Colored filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet’s surface or its cloud structure. All of the planetary filters included in the 1.25” Eyepiece & Accessory Kit, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25” eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser.The Moon filter is one of the first accessories most new amateur astronomers buy and for good reason! It helps block out a portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece so that you can see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus; it blocks enough glare so you can observe the planet’s phases more easily.Metal Case - The sturdy metal carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion your accessories. Store each one in its appointed place when not in use and you’ll keep them looking and performing like new. The case is even large enough to carry a few extra accessories. Just pull out enough of the foam cubes to make a nest for your eyepiece, camera adapter, etc. A tight fit is better, so remove the least amount of foam possible before testing the fit. You can always remove more if you need to.

The filter wheel is inserted between the focuser and the camera or eyepiece. It allows a quick change of filter by simply turning the wheel. The EFWmini motorized filter wheel is very thin - the filters are only 10mm away from the sensor, so even with high-intensity telescopes there is no vignetting. If you work with unmounted 31mm filters instead of 1.25" filters, you can even use objectives up to f/2, without any annoying vignetting!Power consumption is very low. You can, for example, easily operate the filter wheel through the camera's USB hub (if available). Delivery also includes a 1.25" holder if you do not wish to use the T-thread.
