Review Kendrick Baader Visual & Photographic Solar Filter for Discovery 6" Dobsonian Telescope & fits Tubes with ODs 214mm to 224mm / Kendrick:

Kendrick "Baader" Astro Solar Filters are full aperture filters (some are "Off Axis" type, if indicated) for all the most commonly used telescopes in amateur astronomy. The cells are aluminum and all have three nylon thumb screws to facilitate a secure fit on the front of your telescope. The filter material itself is the famous BAADER AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. Optical quality: This highest precision film consistently produces strehl ratios of 94 to 96 percent at interferometric tests - thus it performs optically like a Fluorite Triplet Lens by Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics (Interferometric test results). With Baader AstroSolar filters the Sun appears in it's real color - Neutral White. Other films and most glass filters produce a blurry Bluish or Reddish Solar image, thereby cutting part of the spectrum. Especially with an Orange Sun, it is very hard to see faculae regions which are visible predominantly in the Blue wing of the spectrum. Eye safety: AstroSolar is essentially free from pinholes, since - other than with even the most expensive glass filters - it is coated on both sides, so that the chance of two pinholes overlapping each other is extremely faint. [+]
Baader AstroSolar safety film has been approved for eye safety by the National Bureau of Standards in Germany, the PTB. Unlike any other Sola.

Review SBIG DSS-7 Deep Space Spectrograph / SBIG:

SBIG's Deep Space Spectrograph (DSS-7) is a spectrograph optimized for the types of spectral observations that an amateur has always been interested in, from stellar classification to nebular analysis to galactic red shifts. The DSS-7 is a lower cost alternative to the SGS. The DSS-7 is actually more sensitive than the SGS making it excellent for Deep Space objects. It does not self-guide and it has slightly lower resolution than the SGS. It is optimized for popular Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes but can be used on any system with an f/10 focal ratio. It is ideal for deep space objects such as galaxies and nebula. It will not work with the STL series due to their deeper backfocus required by the built in filter wheel.

Key features ORION
  • The visual Paracorr can be used with both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces
  • Works on all f-ratios from f/3.5 to f/8
  • Tightens and intensifies star images without adding any false color or spherical aberration!
  • 15% barlow effect added to minimize focuser in-travel
  • Recommended for all Televue eyepieces, and compatible with other brands as well
  • Model: Tele Vue Paracorr Visual

Review Tele Vue Paracorr Visual / ORION:

Coma makes stars look like blurry commets whose tails point out radially from the center of the field. The faster your scope's speed, the worse the effect. All parabolic mirrors used in Newtonian reflecting telescopes are limited in field sharpness due to coma. Even a perfectly made 13" f/4. 5 parabola has only about 0. 1 degree diffraction limited field. Paracorr is a universal corrector that tightens and intensifies star images on all f-ratios from f/3. 5 to f/8 without adding any false color or spherical aberration! You no longer have to constantly shift a Dobsonian to keep objects centered for sharp viewing. Using a TeleVue eyepiece, put M-13 at the edge of the field and enjoy resolving its beauty as it drifts across your view. Paracorr is easy to use. [+]
It slips into your focuser, just like a Barlow. To minimize focuser in-travel, due to additional length, a mild 15% Barlow effect was designed into Paracorr to effectively push the focus out. Paracorr is recommended for use with all TeleVue eyepieces because our Plossls, Radians, Panoptics, Naglers and Ethos achieve higher levels of aberration correction than competitive models. However, Paracorr is also compatible with other eyepiece makes. Try Paracorr on your "DobNewt. " We think you'll agree that the revolution is complete.

Review Vixen Skypod Half Pillar for Close to the Equator Observations & Astrophotography / Vixen:

Review ScopeTronix Digi-T Digital Camera Adapter Kit for 1.25" Eyepieces with Adapter to fit Canon Powershot a10 & a20. / Digi-T:

The Digi-T system is quick, secure, and easy to use. Less Vignetting - When coupling a digital camera to a telescope it is imperative that the eyepiece lens and the camera lens are as close together as possible, a separation of even 1/2" will result in an image like looking through a soda straw. When installed onto the eyepiece Digi-T is flush with the top. Thanks to Digi-T's exclusive "thread-through-thread" design the step ring then threads completely over it, adding zero length. No other adapter gets as close!Fits More Eyepieces - There are 2 types of conventional eyepiece projection adapters, fixed length and variable. The fixed length adapters are too short to hold the most popular eyepieces (such as the 26mm Super Plossl) and too narrow to hold many others. The variable length adapters are designed for film cameras and are simply too long to allow the close coupling necessary for digital cameras, in addition they are still too narrow to hold any of the wider field eyepieces. Digi-T fits a 4mm Plossl or a 40mm Plossl!No Back Focus Problems - All conventional eyepiece projection adapters have one thing in common, they lift the eyepiece up in the holder by about 1". For many refractors and reflectors this is a serious problem as they can no longer reach focus! This is especially true with the popular ETX60/70 telescopes. Since Digi-T attaches to the top of the eyepiece it doesn't change the eyepiece position at all and focus remains the same.
