The Bintel Projection lenses in 32mm and 40mm focal lengths are useful if you can't get your telescope to reach focus with a conventional camepter and T-ring.
Many Newtonian telescopes don't have enough focuser in-travel with a DSLR cam - the Bintel Projection lenses provide a solution.
The top of the eypiece housing unscrews(T2 thread) allowing a T-ring to attach directly.
With the same fine optics as Bintel's Plossl range it also makes a great low power eyepiece!

The Celestron PowerSeeker Accessory Kit is a great way to expand the enjoyment of your telescope. Inside the plastic, foam-lined carry case you’ll find these accessories:
- 15mm Kellner Eyepiece - 1.25”
- 9mm Kellner Eyepiece - 1.25”
- #80A Blue Filter - 1.25”
- #25 Red Filter - 1.25”
- Moon Filter - 1.25”
- Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
Eyepieces - The 15mm and 9mm eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 1.25” focuser. Each eyepiece is fully coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 15mm Kellner eyepiece offers a nice medium magnification view in most telescopes, and the 9mm provides high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good.
Filters - Coloured filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet’s surface or its cloud structure. Both planetary filters, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25” eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser.
- The #80A is a medium-blue filter that enhances the contrast of the cloud belts on Jupiter and the polar ice caps on Saturn. It also can be used to increase contrast on the Moon if you don’t mind the color shift.
- The #25 filter is a deep red color and is a good choice when you want to define the polar ice caps on Mars. It’s also fun to use this filter when observing Jupiter. The #25 Red filter blocks quite a bit of light coming through your telescope, however, so it is best used on bright objects with larger aperture telescopes.
- The Moon filter is one of the first accessories most new amateur astronomers buy, and for good reason! It helps block out a portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece so that you can see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus; it helps you see which phase she’s in.
Cleaning Cloth & Case - Keep the microfiber cleaning cloth stashed in your PowerSeeker Accessory Kit case so that it will always be handy. It’s better to use a microfiber cloth on your optics than wipes or tissue, as it will not leave a residue, and can be reused. Remember to blow or brush any dust particles off of your optics before rubbing them with the cloth.
The black plastic carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion your accessories. Keep each one in its appointed place when not in use and you’ll keep them looking and performing like new.

Celestron EdgeHD 9.25 OTA
See the Universe in HD
EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma; it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.
True Astrograph Quality
Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrographs" actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.
Improved Performance
Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars, but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. With Celestron’s StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.
Mechanical Features
In addition to EdgeHD’s optimized optical design, the telescope tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.
- Mirror clutches - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images. Once focused, the flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or on the sensor).
- Tube vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 95-micron micromesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.
- Fastar versatility - EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. At its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. Add the optional reducer lens—custom-designed for your size EdgeHD tube—and you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging.
Individually Tested
Every EdgeHD that ships has been tested not only for the surface quality of each optical component, but also with a camera and artificial star to ensure the imaging system meets our rigid quality assurance. This “final acceptance test” confirms the EdgeHD will perform in the field and deliver high-quality astroimages.

After years of R&D we have developed a new solar film that has the optical quality of glass with the advantages of impregnated polymer. Will never develop pinholes or scratches that can let in light and ruin a filter. Other advantages: lightweight and does not require re-balancing tube assembly, will not break, consistent yellow-orange solar image, even density with any aperture, flat surface compared to other thin film filters that have wrinkles and creases. Will not tear or puncture. Stronger than any other solar film on the market. Also available in sheets. Guaranteed 15 years.
What Size Do I Order?
To ensure the best fit for your application, it’s essential to measure the outside diameter (O.D.) of your telescope or lens. We cannotrecommend a filter size based on the model number of your telescope/lens, so please take the following steps to find the correct size:
- Remove the protective cap/cover that covers the objective glass on the end of your telescope/lens.
- Measure the O.D. of your telescope tube or binocular barrel at its widest point, taking into account any obstructions/taper within 1 1/4in from the end of the tube.
- Select the appropriate O.D. range for your measurement using the dropdown menu above. The dropdown menu lists the O.D. ranges available for our filter sizes and will point you to the correct part # for your O.D.
- Note: The O.D. ranges account for the minimum clearance require for the filter to fit.
Alternatively:
- Choose the closest cell O.D. that is at least 1/16″ (1.58mm) larger than the O.D. measurement of your instrument. For example, if your O.D. measurement is 4″(101.6mm), choose a cell with an O.D. of 4-1/4″(107.9mm) part # S-4250.
- Avoid selecting a size that is the same as your O.D., since it will be too tight
- Note: The 1/16″ of clearance is factored into the O.D. ranges in the dropdown menu above.
The solar filter comes with self-adhesive felt for custom fitting, but you can also find additional felt, Velcro, or other materials at most fabric or home improvement stores.
Please use the size chart below to select the appropriate size for your application. The chart lists sizes by clear aperture (filter size in the center of the cell) and O.D. of the aluminum cell (inside cell wall that fits over and around telescope tube). Please note that we cannot take orders for felt.
OPEN TRUSS TELESCOPES:
If the solar filter is to be used on an open truss telescope, the open area from front (secondary mirror) to back (primary mirror) must be covered. No direct sunlight should enter the optical path or the concentrated beam from the mirror can focus on the back of the solar filter film and cause damage and void warranty.

CL Pocket 8x25
Wild Nature
Big on quality, small in size. The 8× companion version of the CL Pocket, with a wider field and a brighter, steadier image — ready for the jacket pocket and the long day out.
Always ready for
the wonders of nature
Four reasons the CL Pocket is the compact binocular that goes everywhere — and performs like it shouldn't.
Pocket-Sized Design
Folds flat to fit in almost any pocket. Just 350g, ready for a jacket, a day pack, or a handbag.
Precision 8× Optics
8× magnification with a 3.1mm exit pupil and 88% light transmission — a brighter, steadier handheld image that holds detail into last light.
2.5m Close Focus
Razor-sharp detail on butterflies, dragonflies and flowers just 2.5 metres away. A macro window on the natural world.
Made in Austria
Hand-assembled in Absam, Tirol. Waterproof to 4m depth, nitrogen-filled, built to outlast every trip.
Crystal-clear views,
from a pocket-sized instrument
Every lens surface is fully multi-coated with Swarovski's proprietary coatings. The result is an image with the bright, high-contrast character that defines Swarovski Optik — and 88% light transmission so that detail holds up well into last light.
A generous 6.8° true field of view shows you 119m of scene at 1000m — roughly 20% wider than the 10×. That width makes it easier to locate moving birds, scan flocks, and track subjects through foliage at 8× magnification.
(119m at 1000m)
Folded flat,
always with you
The CL Pocket's dual-hinge bridge design folds the barrels in underneath, collapsing to a footprint that disappears into a coat pocket or day pack. The rubber-armoured aluminium chassis is balanced in the hand and the 8× magnification is exceptionally steady handheld — no tripod, no shake, just a clean, settled view.
The twin hinges also provide an unusually wide 48–74mm interpupillary range, so the same binocular fits children, adults, and every eye-spacing in between. Small enough that you'll actually bring it with you.
Pocketable in a jacket or day pack
A macro lens
for the natural world
Close focus down to 2.5 metres turns the CL Pocket into something more than a distance tool. Dragonflies resting on a reed. Butterflies working a garden. Spiders on a web. Fungi at the base of a tree.
It's the detail you'd normally need a macro camera to see — except here it's live, moving, and framed in your hands. For nature-curious travellers and birders who love the small stuff, close focus is transformative.
17mm of eye relief,
full view for every user
17mm eye relief with adjustable twist-up eyecups gives eyeglass and sunglasses wearers the full field of view — not a cropped ring like lesser compacts.
±5 dpt diopter adjustment lets you match the optic exactly to your eyes. Nitrogen-filled, pressure-tested, and waterproof to 4 metres — operate confidently from the snowline of the Alps to a summer garden in Queensland.
Nitrogen filled · sealed for life

Upgraded from SkyTrackerTM, the SkyTracker Pro is more compact, small enough to fit on your palm, better precision, silent tracking, it even has a built-in rechargeable power source that runs for up to 24 hours of continuous operation. The improved precision polar scope maintains a fine engraved reticule, now features adjustable illumination with eight brightness levels. Using with our smart phone app, quick and accurate polar alignment is just a joy.
The SkyTrackerTM Pro features four tracking rates, 1X or sidereal, 1/2X for sky and landscape, solar and lunar. All 4 tracking rates work in both northern and southern hemispheres. We have also added a quick slew mode with both forward and reverse to help quickly reframing your image without disrupting the cameras position.
We have made big improvements on the SkyTrackerTM Pro’s removable alt-azimuth base, which features a precision bubble level, degree markings for the altitude and a built in post for the azimuth control. You can also mount the SkyTrackerTM Pro head (without the base) directly to any standard photographic tripod with 1/4” or 3/8” threads. The SkyTrackerTM Pro is certainly a must have tool for any photographer interested in astroscape or wide field astrophotography.

The Astrozap AZ-153 Flexi-Shield® is a flexible dew shield engineered for the Celestron 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain and RASA 8. Upper and lower dovetail notches ensure it fits neatly on current CGX, CGEM, Advanced VX and NexStar models without fouling the rails.
Why a dew shield matters on a C8
The C8 is one of the most popular imaging and visual scopes in Australia, but the exposed corrector attracts dew quickly on clear nights. A passive Flexi-Shield dramatically delays dew formation, protects against stray light, and improves contrast on planets, the Moon and deep-sky targets.
Features
- Twin dovetail notches (upper and lower) for broad compatibility
- Felt-lined interior absorbs moisture and reduces glare
- Durable ABS polymer build
- Padded VELCRO® Brand closure for a secure, finish-safe fit
- Rolls up flat for travel
Compatible Celestron 8" telescopes

BINTEL is proud to announce a new range of high quality, value for money telescope eyepieces optimised for planetary and close up viewing of deep sky objects.
What sets the Bintel Premium Long Eye Relief range apart from just every other mid-priced short to medium length eyepiece is their remarkably flat field design, edge-to-edge sharpness and superb mechanical construction.
You’ll notice the difference in crispness when exploring the details on the surface of the Moon, gazing at the rings of Saturn or peering into the heart of a globular like Omega Centauri. Views will be razor sharp all the way out to the edge of their 55 degree field of view thanks to a modern multi-element design.
The 3mm size will let you use high magnification for seeing fine details when conditions are ideal.
Over 20mm of eye relief - the distance you can observe back from the eyepiece and still take in the entire field of view - makes for comfortable viewing with or without eye glasses.
The Bintel Premium Long Eye Relief Eyepieces are the perfect first upgrade from the standard eyepieces that come with your telescope.
