Review Tele Vue Starbeam with Flip Mirror for 8" or Larger Schmidt Cassegrains. / Tele Vue SFC1009:

Starbeam's unique flip mirror feature provides comfort and flexibility for viewing straight through and 90°. Viewed straight through, you see the natural sky with a 10 arc-minute (1/3 Moon dia. ) "red-star" showing your scope's position. When your scope is pointed high, flip the mirror into position for more comfortable viewing. The size, color and adjustable brightness of the "red-star" makes it easy to see against any twilight to dark sky background. With its 39mm aperture, the projected image is easily seen any distance behind Starbeam, whether 2 inches or 2 feet! The finely made glass lens acts as a beamsplitter to combine the natural sky background with the superimposed red pointing "star. " The first lens surface acts as a collimating mirror so the "red-star" stays stationary against the sky background regardless of your eye position. A compensating curve is designed into the second lens surface to provide the normal sky background view and is multi-coated to eliminate double images. Elegant in design and form, Starbeam is custom machined completely from aluminum and then black anodized, even down to the "push-pull" thumb screws. No tools are required to align Starbeam with your telescope. [+]
This new Starbeam model has a dovetail bar and mounting bracket that fits the rear cell of any 8" or larger SCT. The bar and bracket are also sold separately so any Starbeam owner can adapt the uniquely accurate, large aperture.

The Tele Vue 102 is available with ivory tube and black anodized metal work and with brass tube as the Renaissance 102. The Tele Vue-102 is a 4-inch, 2-element f/8. 6 APO air-spaced doublet, similar in aperture to the 4-element f/5. 4 Tele Vue NP-101. The Tele Vue-102 achieves similar diffraction limited, high power viewing as it's 4" sibling, along with a wide 3 degree maximum visual field (compared to 4. 9 degrees for the Tele Vue NP-101). Like all refractors without a rear lens group (as built into the Tele Vue NP-101) a field flattener is needed for photography of star fields. A dedicated 0. [+]
