Features two locking thumbscrews to secure any inserted astronomy accessory.
Threaded for use with 2" Orion eyepiece and astrophotography filters.

An indispensable reference guide for observing the Red Planet.
Identifies Martian features using classical albedo and modern nomenclature.
Lists all opposition and conjunction events from 2014 to 2020.
Recommends best filters for visual observation and astrophotography of Mars.
Plastic-laminated for durability, the Mars Map measures 25.25 inches x 11 inches when fully unfolded, and folds up to 8.5 inches x 11 inches for easy portability.

Economical motor drive provides hands-free celestial tracking for small telescopes.
Cordless DC servo motor works on Orion EQ-1 and Min-EQ mounts.
Adjustable drive speed control knob allows precise tracking of both solar system and deep-sky objects.
Ideal for short-exposure piggyback and planetary astrophotography with small telescopes.

The FE 14mm F1.8 GM delivers incredible G Master quality and performance with a new perspective from an ultra- wide-angle field of view and bright F1.8 aperture -- all in a compact and lightweight design. Ideal for astrophotography, architecture, landscape, and even portraits and movie shooting, it delivers extraordinary resolution and gorgeous bokeh with precision focus performance. Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, one aspherical, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and one Super ED element coupled with Nano AR coating II all contribute to high-contrast, high-resolution results with corner-to-corner sharpness and dramatically reduce chromatic aberration, flare and ghosting..
F1.8 max 9-blade circular aperture maximizes the beauty of this large-aperture prime-lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background, as well as perfectly round points of defocused light. One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and two ED glass elements significantly reduce flare and ghosting by taking axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration (due to differences in magnification) out of the picture. Resolution and bokeh is maximized while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or....

It is 5-Position 1.25" Filter Wheel For Telecope. and high-quality telescope filter wheel allows you to quickly and easily change.A huge time-saver for filtered planetary and lunar observation using different color filters, or for tri-color astrophotography pursuits. Included 5-Position 1.25" Filter Wheel lets you install all filters and then dial-in the 1.25" filter you want to use for a particular astrophotographic exposure. The filters can be changed very quickly at any time..
The robustly constructed filter wheel is supplied with a 1.25" eyepiece adaptor, 1.25" focuser nosepiece, T-2 camera adaptor and locking ring. The filter wheel can be attached to your focuser either by the supplied 1.25" nosepiece adaptor or via a T-thread. It is ideally suitable for visual observations with 1.25" eyepieces. and with the included T2 adapter it is also perfectly suitable for astrophotography with single lens reflex cameras and CCD cameras..
Keep in mind that use of the Multiple Filter Wheel requires 20mm of inward focus travel. This will not be a problem for most telescope designs, but could be a problem for Newtonian reflectors. The included T2 adapter comes with a locking ring, whereby high-precision distance regulation becomes possible.Its very sturdy a....

...ider or a crosshair eyepiece. With the generous 10mm of travel allows you will find the optimum sharpness for your guide star. Impressive - this special helical focuser can be adjusted to 0.05mm using the super fine scale. So you can always find the precise focus point very quickly..
With an off-axis guider, perfect astrophotography is virtually in your grasp. Long exposure photos require precise tracking, which is the specialty of this guider, making it one of the necessary tools for astrophotography. You will soon have the most beautiful astronomy photos in the bag!.

Equatorial wedge for Celestron NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution Alt-Az mounted computerized telescopes. Enables long exposure astrophotography and autoguiding by tilting the telescope's azimuth into an equatorial platform allowing it to track an arc around the polar axis..
For beginner to intermediate planetary and deep space imagers. Captive hardware, tool-less operation, easily adjusts under load..
Sturdy latitude adjustment screw with easy to read scale and integrated Bubble level..
