Orion VersaGo II Altazimuth Telescope Mount

Orion VersaGo II Altazimuth Telescope Mount Reviews

Other Picture

Orion VersaGo II Altazimuth Telescope Mount Feature

• Ultra-stable, easy-to-operate altazimuth "grab-and-go" tripod for small to medium sized telescopes
• The VersaGo II's 15 lb. load capacity makes it an excellent Alt-Az foundation for telescopes up to about 6" in aperture
• Strong but lightweight aluminum channel-leg tripod with removable accessory tray allows maximum portability and adjustable height
• Sturdy die-cast aluminum head features a dovetail saddle for quick telescope attachment and removal
• Slanted arm design allows instrument to be pointed to zenith, lateral arm offset puts load directly over center of tripod for maximum stability

Here's a nifty mount that will make navigating landscapes or starscapes with any modestly sized telescope a truly enjoyable experience. The VersaGo II Altazimuth mount combines a simple, sturdy design with lightweight "grab-and-go" portability - all at a highly affordable price. The VersaGo II differs from the heavier VersaGo II HD in having a lighter weight tripod (13 lbs.) that features aluminum channel-type legs that adjust in height. While both mounts can technically support the same 15 lb. load, the standard model, which weighs 5.5 lbs. less, is preferred when maximum portability is desired. The mount features a sturdy, die-cast metal single-arm altazimuth head that allows simple and intuitive up-down, left-right operation. Teflon thrust bearings on both axes ensure smooth, fluid gliding motion and oversize tensioning knobs and a rubber grip panning handle provide extremely fine positioning and control, even for tracking moving subjects. Because the laterally offset mounting arm places the telescope center of gravity over the center of the tripod and not off to the side, the VersaGo II offers maximum stability for spotting scopes, small astronomical refractors up to 120mm, Cassegrains and short reflectors up to 6" in aperture, or DSLR and video cameras. No counterweights are needed. The slanted arm design allows telescopes to point directly to the zenith. A dovetail saddle allows quick mounting and removal of your telescope.

• Double your focal length
• View at high power with your glasses
• Useful in digital astrophotography
• Great for scopes by Meade, Celestron, Orion, Tasco, and Bushnell
• Compatible with 0.965 inch diagonals and focusers

The Konus 2x Barlow Lens 1051 will double the focal length and in turn give any eyepiece used in a telescope double the power. The advantage in using a barlow lens is that it allows you to use eyepieces with longer eye relief, while still getting high power. Viewing becomes more comfortable with the 2x Barlow lens 1051 by Konus and can even be useful for anyone that wears glasses. Barlows can also be very useful in digital astrophotography of planets. Without a Barlow lens, most telescopes may not get the desired focal length in order to experience high planetary detail.

Baader Planetarium Semi-APO Filter 2" FSAPO-2

Baader Planetarium Semi-APO Filter 2" FSAPO-2 Reviews

Baader Planetarium Semi-APO Filter 2" FSAPO-2 Feature

• Baader Planetarium Semi APO Filter combines the Baader Fringe Killer coating formula with the Baade
• Zero image degradation
• Famous Baader Quality
• Works as a great Mars filter

Baader Planetarium Semi APO Filter 2"

The Baader Semi APO filter is a truly innovative product unique to Baader Planetarium. Founded by combining properties from two of their most popular filters the Baader Planetarium Semi APO Filter is a truly effective tool in fighting false color.

Baader's newest addition for Achromat owners. The Semi-APO works like it's name implies - delivering an amazingly neutral view, while cutting most of the annoying and contrast-robbing violet fringe that plagues all achromats. The Semi-APO filter combines a stronger Fringe Killer coating formula with the Moon&Skyglow Neodymium substrate. The result is similar performance to the Fringe Killer + Moon&Skyglow combination, but with a slightly stronger violet cut - and at an even greater value.

The Semi-APO filter benefits from all the host of world-class Baader filter attributes. The Semi-APO filter is truly the world's most advanced 'minus-violet' type filter in every regard. It's high efficiency and neutral coloration make it practically disappear in use - while making most of the violet fringe disappear! The effects on sharpness, contrast, and aesthetics are remarkable, even with small refractors. The RGB enhancement of the Neodymium substrate actually boosts color contrasts, particularly for Jupiter and Mars.

As a side benefit, the Semi-APO filter has also proven to be the best Mars filter we've used - with ALL Telescopes, including large Dobsonians, SCTs, and Apochromats. The unique properties that result from the combination of the Fringe Killer's blue wavelength attenuation (attenuation - not total elimination), plus the selective Neodymium RGB passbands, result in a significant contrast enhancement of Martian features. The image retains its natural coloration and brightness, and the optically polished surfaces maintain every bit of the image sharpness, unlike other manufacturer's filters.&
