This high quality moon filter is very similar to the Celestron Moon Filter and it has a similar dark green colour. The clear aperture is nearly 22mm. Highly recommended for fast telescopes with f/6 and faster (less then 6) or in refractors as it helps to eliminate the colour aberration of the refractor telescope...

The NEQ6 SynScanTM also comes with features that advanced astronomers can appreciate: Positioning Accuracy up to 1 arc minute. Accuracy enhanced by software collimation error (mount mechanical error) compensation. Stepper motors with 1.8° step angle and 64 micro steps driven. Slewing speed up to 3.4°/sec (800X). Auto Guider Interface for astro-photography. Guiding speed selectable from 0.25X, 0.50X, 0.75X, or 1X. Object database containing complete M, NGC, and IC catalogues. Minimal vibration for steady long-exposure photography.
The new EQ6 SynTrek is effectively a hybrid of the standard EQ6 and the EQ6 PRO SynScan. It is basically a standard EQ6 but with a pre-installed PRO SynScan motherboard and stepper motors, and supplied with its own unique SynTrek hand-controller. The SynTrek hand control is designed for the purpose of providing a simple slewing and tracking control. The small and versatile SynTrek hand control provides automatic tracking of celestial objects as soon as the power is turned on. The user-friendly interface provides quick access to many other functions the SynTrek has to offer. The HEQ5 and EQ6 SynTrek mounts can be upgraded to computerized SynScan system by simply changing the hand control to SynScan hand control.

Give someone a real piece of Mars - surprise acquaintances, friends and relatives on special occasions such as Christmas or birthdays. You have the opportunity here of acquiring a genuine piece of Mars rock NWA 6963. This rock was detached from Mars by a meteoritic impact and hit the earth (here NWA _North-western Africa) Worldwide, there are approximately 100kg of Mars meteorite material and only a small fraction of it ever becomes commercially available. There is only 282.3g from NWA 6963! The contrast between its more brightly colored weathered outer layer, with its pure reddish Olivine, and its dark green interior accounts for the beauty of the rock. This property makes the meteorites not only visually beautiful but also of scientific interest, as it demonstrates the weathering of the surface of the Red Planet. Overall, very interesting and visually appealing, the new Martian meteorite is of a rare type. A real 'must-have' for every meteorite collector who wants to be proud of their collection.

Focal Reducer, 0.5X, for Observing and Imaging:This focal reducer lowers the focal length of the main optics by half, providing a larger field of view. This is advantageous when using cameras with small chips for imaging. Use: Using the focal reducer is ingeniously simple. It has a 1.25" filter thread, which fits into any 1.25" eyepiece or 1.25" camera adapter without any problem. Imaging: The focal reducer increases the size of the image field and shortens the exposure times when imaging. It is particularly recommended for use with the Philips SPC 900NC Webcam, etc. Visual observing:The increase of the size of the field of view with 1.25" eyepieces is particular useful if you like observing more extended celestial objects with long focal length instruments. The smaller focal reducer/eyepiece distance means that the reduction factor is only 0.5X. However, the focus is only shifted inwards by 5mm. Technical Data:Connecting thread: Filter thread 1.25" (M 28.5 x 0.75) on both sides Free light transmission: Lens aperture 22.5mm Lenses: 2 lenses for better correction - cemented - coated Material: Aluminium - black anodized Reduction factor: approx. 0.5X - depending on distance Focal length: 85mm
TS Optics f/6.3 Reducer and Corrector for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes This high-quality corrector system was especially developed for SC telescopes. With this 4-element system, you can make a fast telescope for astrophotography out of your SCT. Features and applications of the corrector: The corrector fits to all Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes from Celestron and Meade. It is simply screwed to the 2" thread at the back of the telescope. At the eyepiece side, the f/6.3 corrector also has the SC thread. You can use your accessories as before. The optimal working distance from the SC thread of the corrector is 85 mm. You can exceed or under-run this distance by 15% without appreciable loss of quality. The focal length of the SC telescopes is reduced with the factor 0.63 - 2000 mm become 1260 mm focal length. The speed is considerably increased. You achieve the same saturation with only 40% exposure time, compared to the photography without corrector. The optical correcture system flattenes the curved field of the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, offering a fully corrected image area of 24 mm diameter. The corrector offers an improvement also visually, the sharpness at the edge is enhanced and the yield of true field of view is obvious. We recommend to use the corrector with 1.25" eyepieces. Adaption of the SC corrector to 2": Many amateur astronomers use a separate focuser at their SC telescope for more precise focusing and avoid mirror shifting.
Top Offer! TS Optics 12.5 mm Plössl Eyepiece with 1.25” barrel sizeA good Plössl eyepiece outperforms a simple Kellner. Through bulk purchase, we can offer this type of eyepiece at a price for which you would get only more simple eyepieces elsewhere. Nevertheless, the features are quite impressive. The 12.5 mm Plössl is a fine all-round eyepiece. It delivers a good performance on moon and planets and can be used very well for photography with eyepiece projection. This Plössl can also be used for observing compact deep-sky objects like nebulae or star clusters. It is a good complement to the 25 mm overview eyepiece and offers already nice viewing comfort. Areas of application of Plössl eyepieces:Through the four-element design, the Plössl is a true all-rouder. It does not introduce an additional chromatic aberration to the system, in opposite to more simple eyepieces with fewer elements. As a consequence, these eyepieces can be very well used for observing moon and planets with higher magnifications. At lower magnifications, Plössl eyepieces are well suited for observing nebulae, star clusters and galaxies, they convince with a field of view relatively free of distortion. Astrophotographers can also work well with Plössl eyepieces, as they are well suited for eyepiece projection. The MgF2 coating prevents disturbing reflections and provide good contrast.
