Celestron Collimation Eyepiece 1.25"


The Celestron Cheshire Collimation Eyepiece is ideal for precise collimation of Newtonians and helpful for aligning Schmidt-Cassegrains. This special eyepiece fits into 1¼" focusers or diagonals. Alignment is easy using the small opening on one end and thin cross hairs at the other end. The collimation eyepiece is more accurate than the simple Collimation Tool.

Orion Pluck-Foam Accessory Case, Black


Made from super-tough ABS-clad wood, this case resists dings, dents, and other blemishes better than aluminum-clad cases. This accessory case features cubed foam, so you can customize the interior to fit your specific accessories -- different sizes of eyepieces, camera body, adapters, barlow lenses, whatever you have. You'll appreciate the strong dual hinges in back and the sturdy spring latches in front. The hinged carrying handle provides a sure grip. A removable, adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. The latches can be locked; keys are provided. Internal dimensions: 17.2" x 12.2" x 5.5".

HOTECH 1.25 Inch Laser Collimator for Newtonian and Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes


HoTech 1.25 SCA Laser Collimator for both Newtonian and SCT Telescopes. Unit comes with built-in Selft Centering Adapter and one CR123 battery.The HoTech laser collimator separates itself from all the other laser collimators with its innovative self-centering adapter technology (SCA). The mechanism allows precise and repeatable installation in all brands of 1.25" and 2" telescope focusers. All laser collimators in the current market have one fundamental problem - the slop in the adapting mechanism between the laser collimator and the telescope focuser. This problem is clearly recognized and often discussed among astronomers but so far there is no definite solution in the market yet.No matter how tight the tolerances are machined on the laser collimator or the focuser a small gap is required to allow installation of the laser collimator. Once the laser collimator is inserted the required gap becomes a problem. The laser collimator is fixed either with one or more thumbscrews or an unified compression ring. Both methods introduce a very critical issue namely an off-axis installment that instantly destroys the precision of your collimation instrument along the entire optical axis.The patented HoTech SCA Laser Collimator separates itself from all the other laser collimators with its innovative self-centering adapter technology (SCA). The mechanism allows precise and repeatable installation in all brands of 1.25" and 2" telescope focusers. All laser collimators in the current market have one fundamental problem - the slop in the adapting mechanism between the laser collimator and the telescope focuser. Using the conventional thumbscrew or the unified compressing ring to adapt the laser collimator will definitely shift the optical center to one side. The Self-Centering Adapter cleverly eliminates the slop by linearly compressing the built-in rubber rings. By doing this the diameter of the rings expands to compensate the gap.

Orion SpaceProbe 3 Altazimuth Reflector Telescope


If you're looking for an affordable entry-level telescope for that beginning astronomy enthusiast, our SpaceProbe 3 Altaz is the perfect choice. Great for all-around stargazing, this highly portable, uncomplicated scope is just the right size and weight for the entire family, and just the right price for parents. This is a quality telescope, with a 3" (76mm) glass primary mirror mounted in a sturdy Neptune Blue Metallic aluminum tube. The rack-and-pinion focuser accepts standard 1.25" eyepieces. Two Explorer II eyepieces, a low-power 25mm (28x) and a high-power 10mm (70x), are included. An EZ Finder II finder scope mounted on the tube helps zero-in on the sky target. The altazimuth mount is lightweight and easy to use. To aim it, simply move it up or down or left or right. An adjustable, aluminum tripod with accessory tray is also included. One-year limited warranty.

Burgundy Baytronix AstroQuest 6" Short Tube Reflector Telescope EQ Mount


Short Tube 6 Inch Newtonian Reflector Telescope. This is large aperture reflector at the bargain price that makes your introduction to serious high-power viewing affordable. This 6 inch reflector scope boasts a "short tube" design, with a built-in corrector that yields an 1400mm focal length with just a 19 inch primary tube. As a result, this scope packs a serious high-power punch, with magnification up to 400x making it ideal for lunar and planetary observation. You can see outstanding detail when viewing the moon you'll spot the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. Included is an adjustable full-sized aluminum tripod with a built-in accessory tray. This scope has an Equatorial Mount, so it can be polar aligned to track the movements of stars parade across the night sky. Use the declination circle, hour circle and latitude scale to quickly locate any celestial body. Thanks to precision worm gears and a substantial counter weight, the telescope can be balanced so that the slightest finger touch turn of the flexi cables will move the telescope with a smooth, steady motion. An optional right-ascension motor drive is available. Two medium power 1.25" diameter Plossl eyepieces (25mm & 10mm) and a Barlow 2x lens are included. Additional 1.25" eyepieces are available. Also included is a dust-free cleaning cloth, a map of the surface of the moon and a moon filter designed for reducing moon glare, and a poster of the solar system. The primary mirror is collimated (aligned) at the factory, but the scope does not include collimation aides, tools or instructions. All reflector telescopes show an inverted image, so purchase an optional erector eyepiece for daytime terrestrial viewing. Because the included paper instructions offer limited guidance, we provide buyers with an online full-color photograph, step-by-step assembly guide so you'll be up and running without having to struggle with a complex assembly diagram.
