Key features Farpoint

- System works in daylight or and night with the aid of a dim astro-flashlight aimed down the telescope tube
- Model: Farpoint Reflective Cheshire Collimator, 1.25" with Four Primary Mirrors, Blue
Review Farpoint Reflective Cheshire Collimator, 1.25" with Four Primary Mirrors, Blue / Farpoint:Far Point FP260 is Far Reflective Cheshire Collimator blue in color. The chesshire collimation device is the simplest, most intuitive tool for adjusting the primary mirror collimation in a Newtonian telescope system. In addition, the chesshire is relatively insensative to wiggle or slop in the focuser. Using the cheshire in conjunction with single beam laser collimator is suggested. First use the laser to adjust the alignment of the secondary mirror, then adjust the primary mirror alignment using the cheshire. Farpoint makes the cheshire in 1-1/4 and 2 inch sizes. Each chesshire is machined from aircraft grade aluminum on precision CNC lathe to exacting tolerances. They are then polished and hard anodized for a superior appearance and durability. The grip ring is knurled for a sure handhold. Each cheshire includes four primary mirror marking triangles and an alignment template for applying the triangles onto mirrors up to 12. [+]5" diameter. The template also has metric sized marks for import telescopes as well. For those with larger mirrors, a larger templates for sale or a free pattern download for those who wish to print their own. To use the cheshire collimation system, a reflective triangle center "spot" is applied to the primary mirror in a one-time application process. Once applied, all one needs to do in order to align the primary mirror is insert the collimator into the telescope eyepiece holder, look through the sight hole and adjust the primary. |

- Model: Tele Vue 8mm Ethos 2" / 1.25" Eyepiece with 100 Degree Field of View.
Review Tele Vue 8mm Ethos 2" / 1.25" Eyepiece with 100 Degree Field of View. / Tele Vue:At NEAF 2008 Tele Vue demonstrated a new 100° AFOV Ethos eyepiece in an 8mm focal length. In addition to matching all the key performance criteria of its 13mm sibling, the new 8mm Ethos is parfocal in 1¼" focusers with Radians, Plossls, Type 6 Naglers and 1. 25" Panoptics. Further, its lighter weight and smaller diameter than the 13mm Ethos makes the 8mm suitable for anyone using a binocular viewer. Another application is for spotting scope set-ups with the Tele Vue 60° 1. 25" diagonal. In comparing it to the Tele Vue 8-24mm Zoom eyepiece, the 8mm Ethos has the power of the 8mm Zoom and 83% of the field of the 24mm setting! An important benefit of the combination of large apparent field of view and shorter focal length is that for a given field in the sky, higher magnification results in a darker sky background. Fainter stars become visible and more detail is seen on all deep sky objects. Ethos provides another big magnification/contrast jump, yielding dramatic views simply not previously possible in any telescope. With the smaller exit pupil, eyesight limitations are also reduced. [+]8mm Ethos delivers: 100° apparent field (50% larger in area than 82° Naglers), comfortable eye-relief, accepts DIOPTRX eyesight astigmatism correctors, distortion correction, high contrast and on-axis sharpness for planetary viewing. It is the "do-it-all" eyepiece perfect for all scopes that can utilize this focal length. |
