Review Tele Vue 90° Everbrite Diagonal 1.25" with Brass Clamp Ring. / Tele Vue:

Whiter and brighter images. Simply put, that is the benefit the Everbrite mirrorcoating. 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 accuracyof a 1/10 wave flatness. The Everbrite is offered in both 1¼" and 2" models. Thediagonal 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.

This is an entirely new angle for Tele Vue! It's a real breakthrough for birding and terrestrial viewing; the perfect combination of comfort and performance.

Review Celestron C9 1/4-SGT Advanced Series 9 1/4" Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope with CG-5 GT Computerized EQ Mount & XLT Coatings / Celestron:

Its longer primary focal length and lower magnification secondary mirror contribute to a flatter field of view at the focal plane and helps to further reduce optical aberrations. No matter at what level you are starting out, this precision instrument is design to expand as your interest in astronomy grows. CG-5 Mount, Precision engineered for stability. The new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth stability. Th e key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the NEW 2" Stainless Steel heavy-duty tripod legs with larger and more substantial legs tha t offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views.

Review Tele Vue Digital Camera Adapter 49mm for the 35/27mm Panoptics & 32/40mm Plossl Eyepieces. / Tele Vue:

Tele Vue digital camera adapters allow solid, accurate attachment of digital cameras to appropriate Tele Vue eyepieces for "afocal" imaging. "Afocal" means collimated light between the telescope eyepiece and camera lens. To minimize vignetting and maximize image quality, we suggest using the following Tele Vue eyepieces, as their long eye relief best matches the internal pupil of the camera lens; 40mm, 32mm Plossls, 35mm, 27mm Panoptics, 22mm, 17mm, and 12mm Nagler type 4, 31mm Nagler type 5 and all Radian focal lengths. Radian eyepieces require the adapter included with DRA-XXXX models. Overall, we found the 35mm Panoptic achieves the least vignetting in afocal applications. One more thing to note is that because camera pupils move with zooming, you may find minimum vignetting at the extremes of zoom positions. Results will vary depending on the camera used. Not shown in above photo, all adapters include 3 small thumb screws for easy use without tools.

Review Tele Vue 45° Erecting Prism (1¼"). / Tele Vue AMI0011:

While star diagonals correct a refractor's inverted image, they don't correct the left-right orientation. For terrestrial viewing at moderate magnifications use the Erecting Prism to achieve a natural view.
