Product description

If you’re ready to graduate from a small telescope or want your first telescope to have more light-gathering power than typical starter models, step up to the AstroView 6 reflector. Its 150mm parabolic mirror has a focal length of 750mm (f/5), so it offers generous wide-field views of deep-sky objects when used with the included 25mm Plossl eyepiece. For lunar and planetary study, use the 10mm Plossl eyepiece (also included)for more powerful views. The AstroView’s EQ-3 equatorial mount features slow motion control knobs, which allow you to center and track objects in the viewing field. An optional single- or dual-axis EQ-3 DC drive is also available for electronic guiding (sold separately). A polar-alignment scope is built into the equatorial head for precise orientation. The AstroView mount couples to a sturdy adjustable aluminum tripod with accessory tray. Includes 6×30 finder, 1.25″ rack-and-pinion focuser, and adjustable four-vane secondary mirror support.

Coronado by Meade SolarMax II 60mm Solar Telescope with RichView system. Includes 10mm Blocking Filter. Features double stacked H-alpha etalon filters, one internal and one external, .5A bandpass, for outstanding surface detail. Used around the world by serious solar enthusiasts and professional research facilities alike for observation of surface detail and prominences on the Sun in hydrogen-alpha (Ha) light. Powerful but very portable, this high resolution Solar Telescope offers dedicated visual observation of the Sun as well as high quality imaging. The new Meade Coronado II represents a breakthrough in solar observing with the new and revolutionary RichView tuning assembly. This patented system allows direct tuning of the primary filter etalon. No other commercially available Ha telescope can provide the tuning range and accuracy of the SolarMax II. Now you can tune for the highest contrast views of active regions, flares, filaments, and other surface detail, or quickly and easily re-tune for prominences on the solar limb. This fully integrated double stack system has the added advantage of being able to operate at a less restrictive Less Than .7A bandwidth by simply removing the external etalon. In this way image brightness is increased, enhancing the visibility of fainter limb detail. The stunning bright red views through a Coronado Ha telescope display astounding surface and limb detail especially when the Sun is in an active phase. The sun

Vixen Optics VMC200L Reflector Telescope (5829)

    This fits your .
  • Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
  • Tube Length: 20-Inch; Tube Weight: 13 lbs
  • Includes Metal Carry Handle and Dovetail mounting rail
  • Open Tube = Short Cool Down

The VMC200L Reflector Telescope is a unique 200mm, 8-Inch catadioptric optical system. It incorporates a primary mirror and a meniscus corrector just before a secondary mirror. By doing so, light is corrected twice on the optical path. The end result is that spherical aberration and field curvature are corrected to a high degree of optical performance. The VMC200L’s primary mirror is f/2.5; the compound optical system is f/9.75. This makes the system much more compact and portable than its competition. With the optical correction placed before the secondary mirror, the VMC200L avoids the necessity of having a corrector plate and all the dewing problems associated with a closed optical tube. An additional key feature is the rack and pinion focusing that is placed behind the primary mirror. The use of this focusing system eliminates the image shift associated with most other SCT systems. This is especially important when using high power magnification or astro-photography. When focusing, the image is stable and easy to adjust. Astronomy Technology says -Inchthe f/9.75 focal ratio is noticeably faster than the typical Maksutov design ..which translates into a wider true field of view. Reaching focus is easy…Lightweight, portable, 8 inches of aperture, fast cool down, zero image shift, and reasonably priced – I guess it may be possible to have your cake and eat it too.-Inch The VMC200L Reflector features a catadioptric -InchField Maksutov-Inch type design with two spherical mirrors and a meniscus corrector element behind the secondary mirror passed twice by the light. The open tube has shorter cool down times compared to other 8-Inch SCT.s The VMC200L Reflector is made in Japan and is covered by a Five Year Warranty.

Travel to other worlds – right from your own garden

Going to the stars is easier than you thought – it begins with the Zoomion Gravity 150EQ telescope. This telescope is so compact that you can carry it easily anywhere. So set out on an adventure in space. You’ll be amazed at everything you can discover!

The advantages in a nutshell:

– complete telescope with optics, mount and tripod large aperture for deep sky objects – 150mm diameter mirror

– 750mm focal length

– just follow the stars – astronomical mount with slow-motion controls for precise tracking of objects

– large range of accessories, including eyepieces

Telescope with 150mm of aperture – countless objects direct in your eyepiece
With an aperture of 150mm, this telescope provides you with a bright image. You can now enjoy observing even rather dim objects in the universe directly through the eyepiece. Or observe Saturn with its rings, including the famous Cassini division. Or travel light years further with this telescope – on to star clusters and hydrogen nebulae.

Astronomical mount – keep objects in the field of view
The Gravity 150EQ telescope has an astronomical mount. If you have an object in sight, you can easily compensate for the Earth’s rotation with the slow-motion controls. This means objects can always be kept in the centre of the field of view. In telescopes without this mount, objects will drift out of sight again. But not in this! Concentrate on the night sky, not on the telescope. So you can observe completely relaxed.

Experience amazing astronomical moments with the Zoomion Gravity150. You need nothing more than a clear starry sky.

ky-Watcher Pro SW 80ED APO 80mm ED Refractor The Sky-Watcher Pro SW 80ED APO 80mm ED Refractor Telescope produces the sharpest, highest quality imaging obtainable from any telescope optical design due to the unobstructed textbook-like diffraction patterns and exotic optical properties. The Sky-Watcher ED-APO 80mm is a modestly wide-field telescope offering bright, wide swaths of sky in a single view. It is well suited for wide-field astronomical observation of prominent nebulae, star clusters and galaxies from a dark-sky location, or can be used as an astrograph for sky photography. As a terrestrial spotting scope or telephoto lens, the ED-APO’s performance is absolutely superb. Ultra high contrast allows the subtlest of details to be easily scrutinized under conditions of good seeing. The petite silhouette of the SW ED-APO 80mm makes for an excellent compact, portable telescope that travels light and fits a small space.
