Lumicon Female Adapter

by @ 12:40 pm. Filed under Telescope Accessories, FAQ

Question:

Do u have one 735-49028 (Lumicon) female adapter available for sale?

.965 to 1.25″ adapter?

Answer:

Yes, we have this adapter.

However, it will not work in many scopes.

Because the eyepiece is pulled back a couple inches, you need to be able to move the focuser in at least an inch and a half.  Many scopes cannot do this. If such is the case, you’d be better off getting a hybrid diagonal for the scope: 0.965″ insert/1.25″ eyepiece hole. part number 701-31020.  This would require no change in focuser position. Don

by @ 12:18 pm. Filed under Binoculars

Item No. 403-10056
Manuf. No. Bushnell 13-2000

Witnessing beauty in its natural state doesn’t have to come with an unnatural price tag. Case in point, the NatureView binoculars. Available in a variety of different models they’re affordable and loaded with features. Designed specifically for serious birders and naturalists, the ultra close-focus capabilities get you intimate with the details without getting pecked in the head. BaK-4 porro prisms on select models yield brighter images and better edge sharpness. Extended eye relief reduces eyestrain for eyeglass wearers during long observation periods. They’re perfect for the budding nature observer.

Coronado PST Solar Telescope w/ Hard Case

by @ 12:15 pm. Filed under Telescopes

Item No. 129-20117
Manuf. No. Coronado PSTCP

The PST is the latest innovation from Coronado. This “little” telescope is another step toward our goal of making it possible for everyone to, “Experience the Sun our way.”

Sub angstrom H-Alpha systems have long been cost prohibitive for the amateur. Designs other than the Coronado are difficult to use because of temperature and F-Ratio requirements. Not only does the PST have a bandpass of <1.0 angstrom but it is also thermally stable and requires no more time to operate than putting in a eyepiece and adjusting the focus.
