Whiter and brighter images. Simply put, that is the benefit the Everbrite mirror coating. This exotic, dielectric, nonmetallic coating is 99% reflective across the full visual spectrum, resulting in the "whitest," most natural image available. The coating is painstakingly applied to Pyrex with a surface accuracy of a 1/10 wave flatness. The Everbrite is offered in both 1¼" and 2" models. The diagonal bodies of each are machined from solid blocks of aluminum. In this way we can insure permanent alignment. The one piece body construction also assures heavy accessories can't force the diagonal body to "unscrew" from the barrel as with other brands. Both the 1¼" and 2" models feature brass clamp rings, anti-reflection threads and 1¼" and 48mm filter threads respectively.

Allows you to mount Tele Vue Refractors on the Super Polaris mount.

Your telescope's focuser is used to compensate for your near- or far-sightedness; DIOPTRX compensates for your astigmatism. These units attach and lock onto the tops of over 20 long eye-relief Tele Vue eyepieces to achieve the sharpest full-field viewing possible. DIOPTRX models are available in 1/4 diopter steps, from 1/4 up to 3. 5 diopters, and are rotatable for tuning to the best orientation. A series of engraved letters on the barrel helps to monitor orientation. Simply choose the DIOPTRX model that matches your eyeglass prescription for astigmatism. All lenses are multi-coated glass in anodized aluminum housings with rubber eyeguards The visual experience in astronomy is maximized by stripping away limitations: the limitations of the observing location (dark skies and steady seeing) the limitations of the telescope (aperture, field, resolution and contrast) the limitations of the eyepiece (field, resolution and contrast) the limitations of our eyesight (e. g. , astigmatism) Tele Vue has historically been dedicated to overcoming the first three of these limitations: with wide angle, flat field telescopes easily portable for traveling to great observing locations matching ultra-wide angle eyepieces with full field image quality to generate what we call "spacewalk" viewing and a variety of long eye relief eyepieces to allow eyeglass wearers to enjoy the maximum visual experience To overcome the fourt.

For more rigidity under heavier loads, Tele Vue took the Tele-Pod head and adapted it to their fine long standing Panoramic tripod. Since the Sky Tour encoder attachment points are within the head itself, for the first time, the Panoramic mount is Sky Tour capable. The Panoramic Mount is available in solid ash or beautiful walnut wood with brass fittings. It places the scope from approximately 3 to 5 feet high. Metal ground spikes with rubber tips are provided. A central tray adds rigidity and a convenient place for accessories. Supporting your telescope isn't enough, cradle it! Within a Tele Vue yoke and cradle head, your telescope balances at its center of gravity, seemingly "weightless" as you move about the sky. Bearing surfaces of brass, anodized aluminum, and teflon provide the smooth feel needed for accurate movements. For the Tele-Pod and Panoramic mounts, a foam covered handle (not shown) attached to the cradle provides ideal leverage. Tele Vue Alt/Az tripods complement the travel-friendly, easy setup nature of Tele Vue scopes. [+]

For the Tele-Pod and Panoramic mounts, a foam covered handle (not shown) attached to the cradle provides ideal leverage. Our Alt/Az tripods complement the travel-friendly, easy setup nature of Tele Vue scopes. Alt/Az motions are far less cumbersome for visual observing compared to equatorial mounts, and the eyepiece position always remains conveniently upright. There are no counterweights or awkward parts to manage. And, with Sky Tour, electronic setting circles can be added to these mounts. The mount heads are predrilled for easy installation of our Sky Tour Encoder Kits. Or, order your Gibraltar and Panoramic Mounts with the Sky Tour computer already installed. Sky Tour is easy to learn and features a listing of objects for planning your evening's sky tour! All the yoke and cradle heads along with all the wood tripods are made in America. [+]
