Review Tele Vue 2x Barlow Lens, 1.25". / Tele Vue BLW2125:

Tele Vue Barlows: "An Optically Perfect Window" Properly designed Barlows do wonderful things. First, they amplify power while retaining the eyepiece's eye-relief. Second, they slow the telescope's f/#, which improves eyepiece sharpness. Third, the designer can introduce compensations for eyepiece aberrations. Tele Vue's 1 1/4" 2x and 3x Barlows were envisioned as magnification windows. Multi-coated high index glasses assure optimum aberration correction, exceptional contrast and virtually no light loss. Tele Vue Barlows achieve their design goals even when tested by the fastest scopes. The Tele Vue design approach includes mechanical conveniences. The Barlows are parfocal with Tele Vue eyepieces. The 2X Barlow is threaded for 1 1/4" filters.

  • Model: Orion StarShoot Deep Space CCD Monochrome Imager II

Review Orion StarShoot Deep Space CCD Monochrome Imager II / ORION:

The best color astrophotos are composed from shots taken with a monochrome camera through separate Red, Green, Blue, and Luminance (LRGB) filters. This "tri-color" technique leverages the CCD chip's full sensitivity and resolution, and gives you greater flexibility in processing than you get with single-shot color images. The DSMI II utilizes a 1/2" format Sony monochrome CCD with a 752x582 pixel array. It provides higher sensitivity and resolution than the DSMI II's color CCD chip, and superior color rendition. The monochrome camera also excels for narrow-band imaging with specialized filters such as H-alpha, SII, and OIII. And it makes a highly sensitive autoguider. DSMI II has active thermoelectric cooling (TEC), which dramatically reduces electronic noise for better-quality images. Power for the camera is supplied through your computer's high-speed USB 2. 0 port. Includes MaxIm DL Essentials software. [+]

  • Model: Farpoint Astro 16" LightBridge Counterweights, 3 lb. Set

Review Farpoint Astro 16" LightBridge Counterweights, 3 lb. Set / Farpoint:

The stock Meade Lightbridge telescope is balanced to accommodate a small eyepiece and red dot finder.

This "core" set properly balances the telescope for use with a large 2-inch eyepiece and a finder scope or Telrad.

  • Model: Celestron 6 x 30 Finderscope, Black

Review Celestron 6 x 30 Finderscope, Black / Celestron 51602B:

Finderscopes are secondary scopes, used to help locate objects in the main telescope. The larger the finderscope, the more you'll see, to an upper limit of 50mm. Units larger than 50mm have too narrow a field of view to be useful. Finderscopes mount onto the main telescope tube and are an invaluable tool in locating objects for viewing.
