Orion StarShoot Pro V2.0 Deep Space Color CCD Imaging Camera

Orion StarShoot Pro V2.0 Deep Space Color CCD Imaging Camera Reviews

Other Picture

Orion StarShoot Pro V2.0 Deep Space Color CCD Imaging Camera Feature

• The StarShoot Pro V2.0 is a 6.1-megapixel CCD astronomical imaging camera capable of taking high resolution astrophotographs for a low price
• Astronomy camera attaches to a telescope to take stunning astrophotographs you'll want to hang on your wall and share with friends or fellow astronomy club members
• The on-board 6.1-megapixel Sony CCD sensor measures 25.10mm x 17.64mm and features a 3032 x 2016 pixel array for sharp astrophotograph resolution
• Thermoelectric cooling (TEC) and an adjustable on-board cooling fan minimizes background noise for clear and sharply detailed astrophotographs
• Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7 Operating Systems (32 bit and 64 bit)

Since its introduction in May of 2008, the Orion StarShoot Pro has sent shockwaves through the astro-imaging community, setting a new standard for price and performance. Now weâ?TMve outdone ourselves again by improving the StarShoot Pro with refined features and functionality to provide the very best in affordable imaging technology. Our enhanced StarShoot Pro V2.0 brings cooled, multi-megapixel color imaging into the realm of never-before-seen affordability. Its Sony 6.1-megapixel color CCD chip boasts a 3032 x 2016 pixel array in a 23.4mm x 15.6mm format. That gives the Pro 6.5 times the image area and over four times the pixels as similarly priced astro CCD cameras. In fact, it uses the same chip found in cameras costing thousands more! The Pro's square 7.8 micron pixel size provides an excellent balance between high resolution and sensitivity. With some cameras in cooler weather conditions, condensation can form on the surface of the optical window, due to the temperature of the optical window being affected by the cooled CCD. Our enhanced design prevents this by virtue of increased distance between the CCD chip and the optical window. You get detail-rich shots with enough resolution to make large format color prints! For the intermediate or advanced astro-imager, or for beginners seeking a camera they won't soon outgrow, the enhanced Orion StarShoot Pro V2.0 delivers award-winning high-resolution performance for an unprecedented low price. Get yours today!

Coronado SolarMax II 90mm Double Stacking Etalon with RichView Tuning Filter SME-90

Coronado SolarMax II 90mm Double Stacking Etalon with RichView Tuning Filter SME-90 Reviews

Other Picture

Coronado by Meade SolarMax II 90mm Double Stacking Etalon with RichView tuning system. 90mm diameter primary H-Alpha etalon filter. This add on filter reduces the normal bandwidth of a SolarMax 90 telescope or filter set from the single stack .7A performance to a more restrictive .5A, increasing visibility of surface detail and active regions on the Solar disc. MUST be combined with a primary SolarMax 90 filter and blocking filter or complete Coronado SolarMax 90 telescope.

Includes patented RichView tuning assembly allows direct tuning of the primary filter etalon. No other commercially available Ha telescope can provide the tuning range and accuracy of the SolarMax II. Now you can tune for the highest contrast views of active regions, filaments and surface detail, or quickly and easily re-tune for prominences on the solar limb. This filter cannot be used as a stand alone filter, primary and blocking filters required.

Tele Vue VIP-2010 Paracorr Type-2 for Visual/Imaging Use Reviews

Other Picture

Tele Vue VIP-2010 Paracorr Type-2 for Visual/Imaging Use Feature

• Fully multi-coated 4-element coma corrector by Tele Vue
• Eliminates or minimizes coma in fast telescope optical systems for sharper viewing or imaging
• For use in telescopes as fast as f/3
• Can be used as a visual or astrophotography accessory
• Tunable to optimize performance with any eyepiece and telescope combination

Developed in 2010, this model can make an f/3 mirror act like an f/12 without a Paracorr. Essentially diffraction-limited across the field, it makes the new breed of f/3-f/4 "ladder-less" Dobs possible and superior in terms of convenience, field-of-view and optical perfection when using top quality mirrors. The Paracorr Type 2 allows separating the optical assembly from the Tunable Top and using it with Tele Vue imaging system components to permit use with SLR and CCD cameras. APS size formats 27mm diameter are recommended to minimize field vignetting. Ideal for mirrors as fast as f/3.

• The Sky-Watcher 10" DOB utilizes quality components throughout
• The polishing process for primary and diagonal mirror yields smooth mirror surfaces ensuring good contrast and properly corrected optics show minimum alterations to the optical wave-front
• The standard-equipment backlash-free 2" Crayford Focuser insures ultra smooth focusing adjustments
• An 8x50mm Right Angle optical viewfinder provides both magnification and light gathering to help narrow your search for those elusive fuzzies when star-hopping
• To ensure mechanical ease-of-use, SW uses a high-performance Teflon bearing system in both axes combined with tension adjustment in altitude to facilitate setting the appropriate amount of friction

The Skywatcher 10" DOB is an very satisfying telescope to own, an instrument that will provide a lifetime of continuing exploration of the heavens. This telescope provides all the capability and value you are seeking in a large aperture telescope. Skywatcher's revolutionary truss-support concept allows the optical tube's front and back cells to collapse together, aligning on the truss support rods which can then be locked down for easy and secure telescope transport. This one piece, low-hassle OTA design is mechanically simple and results in a large aperture telescope that can be reasonably handled and transported by one individual. This innovation gives Skywatcher users tremendous functional ease-of-transportability. With this telescope you have tremendous light gathering power. Prominent deep-space objects seen well in an 8" SW DOB, such as diffuse emission nebulae in the summer sky like the Lagoon (M8), Trifid (M20) and Swan (M17); the stunning globular star clusters M13 and M92 in Constellation Hercules; the awesome winter sky's Great Orion Nebula (M42) in Constellation Orion and the enormous local galaxy group companion the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) in Constellation Andromeda, to name a very few, will appear more spectacular, brilliant and wider in extension in a SW 10" DOB. Many challenging objects for an 8" aperture now come into their own with the SW 10" DOB: the planetary nebula the Crab (M1), a supernova remnant, requires a 10" aperture t

Kendrick Dew Remover Heater for Celestron C11, & Tubes from 12.5" to 13.5" OD (310mm to 340mm) Reviews

Other Picture

Kendrick Dew Remover Heater for Celestron C11, & Tubes from 12.5" to 13.5" OD (310mm to 340mm) Feature

• The Kendrick Dew Remover System was developed to meet the need in the astronomical community for an effective dew removal and prevention system.
• This system has heaters for almost all the optical components used in amateur astronomy,
• Repeated Field Testing on many types and optical surfaces under many conditions and hundreds of satisfied customers has proven the effectiveness of this product over and over
• It Also has these Other Attractive Features:
• It is Energy Efficient. Variable settings on the controller allow maximum conservation of battery power.

The Kendrick Dew Remover System is centered around the standard controller, which is required for activating the heater. (not included) The heaters have been built to use only as much power as necessary and thereby not waste energy. They have sponge insulation on one side to prevent heat being lost into the atmosphere. The heat is directed into the optics instead and because of this, less energy is needed to keep your optics moisture free. The heaters wrap around your objectives, label side out and are held in place by elastic/Velcro attachments. (Telrad heaters are held in place with an elastic band. The heaters for secondary mirrors are placed on the backside of the secondary and can be held in place by using the polyester batting found inside the secondary mirror holder. The .965", 1.25" and 2" are considered eyepiece heaters. The 2" are also heaters for camera lenses and certain binoculars.)
