(11/25/07) The new standard in affordable, heavy-duty GoTo mounts, the Atlas EQ-G is now available with GoTo or dual-axis (non-GoTo) hand controller. The mount supports tube assemblies of up to 40 lbs. and boasts 2"-diameter stainless steel legs. Internal DC stepper motors offer nine slew rates ranging from 2x to 800x sidereal and three tracking rates: sidereal, lunar, and solar. With the GoTo controller, select from 13,436 objects and command the mount to automatically pinpoint them. Backlash compensation and programmable PEC provide the responsiveness for guiding and the tracking accuracy needed for astrophotography. There's also a jack for a CCD autoguider.

(11/25/07) * New Televue 13mm Ethos eyepiece. Yes, it's true....an eyepiece with a 100º field of view...more than 50% larger than a Nagler 82º field! * Maximum contrast has been achieved in the Televue 13mm Ethos by the use of flat finished baffles and specialty coatings that are tuned to the composition of each element. * Televue is calling the 13mm Ethos eyepiece a blend of several eyepiece designs, yielding the true field size of eyepieces with longer focal lengths and narrower fields with those that produce a darker sky background and higher magnifications. * First shipments received at OPT!

(11/25/07) The cells of all Kendrick Solar Filters are aluminum and all have three nylon thumb screws to facilitate a secure fit on the front of your telescope. The filter material itself is the famous BAADER AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. Tech Info on Baader AstroSolar™ Film: Optical quality: This highest precision film consistently produces strehl ratios of 94 to 96 percent at interferometric tests - thus it performs optically like a Fluorite Triplet Lens by Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics (Interferometric test results). Precision polished plates runs into tens of thousands of dollars, but AstroSolar™ Safety Film shows notably more sharpness and contrast than any competitive product we know of, especially including all affordable US-Glass Objective Filters. What is even more important - with AstroSolar™ the Sun appears in it' s real color - neutral white. Other films...See less

(11/23/07) Mount your camera! Perfect for those who would like to try digiscoping or to use a digital camera for astrophotography, the Zhumell large universal digital camera adapter provides an inexpensive way to connect a digital camera to your optical equipment. It works with eyepieces having an outside diameter of 43mm to 65mm. Using the tripod screw receptacle on the botton of your camera and the eyepiece on your optical equipment, the universal digital camera adapter is versatile enough to work with nearly any combination of camera and optical equipment. Unlike other designs, the Zhumell camera adapter allows for both horizontal and vertical adjustment of the camera platform so you can line the lens of your camera up with the eyepiece of your spotting scope of telescope. Simply clamp the adapter onto the eyepiece of your optical equipment and line up the lenses. You will quickly be on your way to great digiscoping shots! Protect your eyepiece investment with a Zhumell eyepiece case.See less

(11/23/07) TeleVue Paracorr Visual - 2 Inch Format - Includes 1-1/4 Inch Adapter - Tunable Section - Brass Clamp Rings Concept: I have built Newtonian reflectors since my high school days and still enjoy observing with my 12" f/5.3. Knowing how the Nagler eyepiece complemented fast Dobsonians and Newtonians by removing eyepiece induced astigmatism, I now became intolerant of the inherent defect of coma in a parabolic mirror. Paracorrmore stars, sharper stars, more time to observe. I decided to try to achieve the same field quality for parabolas as reached by my Nagler eyepiece and 4-element refractor designs. Existing coma correctors seemed to be limited in color correction, spherical aberration and convenience in use. Paracorr (parabola corrector) uses 2 multi-coated, high-index doublets, is completely color-free, center and edge, and installs like a Barlow. Coma is corrected so well, the diffraction limited field area of an f/4.5 Dob/Newt is increased 36 times! - Al Nagler An optical chain is...See less

(11/23/07) This Cylindrical Bearing Platform is easy to build. The controller assembly is also greatly simplified. *The 3/4" plywood, that we recommend for construction, is available in standard, pre-cut sizes from Home Depot. The platform shown above is made from 24x24x3/4" birch pre-cut boards, and the circular sector is made from oak hardwood. The height of the finished platform is 5.5", which includes the feet underneat the ground board. If you want to decrease the total height of your platform plus scope you can put your scope's teflon pads and center bolt on the platform. The platform can be made larger or smaller as desired to fit your scope. Its simplicity makes it a pleasure to build.See less
