Willmann-Bell, Inc. is privileged to bring to press the stunning “Next Edition” of the world-famous Uranometria 2000.0. The most comprehensive stellar/deep sky atlas and data resource we have seen, the three volumes of Uranometria 2000.0 are so much more than a “Second Edition,” they can only be considered the fulfillment of that process to which the first edition was but prologue. Years in development, this massive achievement affords astronomers, astrophotographers and CCD imagers the finest roadmap to the heavens yet produced at such a modest price. More than 280,000 stars and over 30,000 deep sky non-stellar objects are located with a degree of accuracy heretofore unavailable in one resource. Encyclopedic in nature, with beautifully redrawn maps, a host of efficient navigation tools, and more accurate catalog data for three times the number of deep sky objects shown in the preceding work, Uranometria 2000.0 is clearly an atlas and guide every telescope user, whatever their aperture, will want to own.

Manuf. No. Pentax 70966

The Pentax PF-65ED II is a lightweight and compact armored straight-through viewing 65mm spotting scope. The scope is designed to give you Pentax-quality optical performance, but from a lighter and more manageable body than the 80mm and 100mm Pentax scopes. It is O-ring sealed and nitrogen-filled to be fogproof and totally waterproof to a depth of one meter. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements in its 5-element 3-group objective yield optimum optical resolution.

Unlike other spotting scopes, which use proprietary bayonet-mount eyepiece holders that accept only the scope manufacturer?s eyepieces, the 65mm Pentax ED II uses an American standard 1.25″ (31.7mm) diameter eyepiece receptacle. This accepts not only the optional and superb Pentax XF eyepieces that are sized to be more in scale with the size of the 65mm body, but also the larger Pentax XW 70? field eyepieces, as well as more than 150 other 1.25″ astronomical eyepieces from other manufacturers that can be found on the astronomics side of this website. You can tailor the magnification and field of view precisely to your requirements with this Pentax, something you can?t do with other spotting scopes that have a more limited range of eyepieces available.

The optics are fully multicoated with famous Pentax Super-Multi-Coating (SMC) antireflection coatings to maximize light transmission, clarity, and contrast. Exceptionally close focusing, down to a very good 16.4 feet (5 meters).

Vixen - 20mm NLV Lanthanum Eyepiece - 1.25″

The Vixen 20mm NLV Lanthanum eyepiece has a 50 degree field of view and 20mm of eye relief.

Lanthanum glass has been used by Vixen for decades because it yields bright, high contrast images.

A 20mm eyepiece is a good medium- or low-power eyepiece to have in your arsenal (depending on your telescope’s focal length), and it Barlows well, producing a 10mm eyepiece.

Manuf. No. Konus 7120

The Konus KONUSPOT 20-60×80mm Spotting Scope 7120 represents one of the best values in an 80mm spotting scope on the market today. When your 60mm spotting scope starts to fade at higher magnifications, you need the 80mm of aperture provided by the Konuspot 20-60×80. 80mm means not only an increase in brightness over smaller spotting scopes, it also means better image quality, especially at higher magnifications.

Yet despite its size, the KONUS 20-60×80mm is a very reasonable 55 oz in weight. This makes it a perfect companion on your next birding trip or outing to the range.

The Konus KONUSPOT 20-60×80 also includes many of the nice touches you would expect on a great spotting scope. You get an extendable sunshade, lockable collar that allows the scope to rotate 360 degrees when mounted on the tripod, a forty-five degree angled eyepiece, smooth precise focusing with a conveniently located focusing knob, objective cover, a free 35mm camera adapter (will require the addition of a T-ring for your brand of camera) and a zippered nylon case. Simply put, you will not find a better value in an 80mm spotting scope than the Konus Konuspot 20-60 x 80 mm Spotting Scope.
