  • Fits StarMax and Apex 127, NexStar 5 and Meade ETX-125
  • Electronic dew elimination system keeps dew from forming on the corrector lens
  • Plugs into a car cigarette light or a field battery (sold separately)
  • Runs on 12-volt DC power
  • Model: Orion Dew Zapper for 127mm Mak, 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain

Review Orion Dew Zapper for 127mm Mak, 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain / ORION:

With Dew Zapper, you'll never have to stop observing to remove condensation from the front plate of your Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov-Cassegrain. An unprotected corrector lens will radiate heat, quickly cooling to below ambient air temperature, allowing dew to form. Dew Zapper gently replaces lost heat, bringing the temperature of the corrector lens back above the dew point. Dew can't form, and you never get "heat wave" disturbances like those caused by warm-air blowers and heated dew caps. The flexible, fiberglass-reinforced heating element straps securely in place with a Velcro fastener. Runs on 12-volt DC power. Plugs into a car cigarette-lighter receptacle or a "field battery," delivering up to 20 watts, 2 amps. All models include a 10' cable.

Review Tele Vue Gibraltar Mount with Ashwood Tripod Legs & Tele Pod Head. / Tele Vue:

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. 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. [+]
The rock-solid Gibraltar mount is best matched with our longer, heavier 4" scopes. The larger bearing surfaces and thicker wood legs best handle the loads, especially for high power viewing. The Gibraltar tripods are American made in a choice of solid ash or walnut wood for beauty and quick vibration dampening. Le.

  • Model: Celestron X-CEL Series 1-1/4 18MM Eyepiece

Review Celestron X-CEL Series 1-1/4 18MM Eyepiece / Celestron 93391:

If you are looking for an eyepiece that excels for planetary viewing, then Celestron's X-Cel offers the unique features you are looking for. A 6-element fully multi-coated optical design, the X-Cel utilizes extra low dispersion (ED) glass on its most highly curved surfaces, to minimize chromatic aberration that can hinder sharp planetary views. With a wide 55° apparent field of view, and a large 25mm clear aperture the X-Cel is one of the most comfortable eyepieces to use. Every X-Cel eyepiece is parfocal with each other, meaning little or no focusing is needed when changing from low to high power. The X-Cel comes with soft rubber eyecups and a durable plastic case. In addition, if you are an eyeglass wearer, you will enjoy the 20mm eye relief available on each of the X-Cel focal lengths. Threaded barrels accept 1-1/4" Celestron thread-in filters.
