The Saxon 5" DeepSky CT delivers serious optical performance in a remarkably portable package. Its 130mm aperture and 650mm focal length gather sufficient light for detailed lunar observation and bright deep-sky objects, while the compact tabletop design keeps total weight under 6.5kg—ideal for observers who value mobility without sacrificing aperture. The pre-assembled tube and included pair of 1.25" eyepieces mean you're ready to observe within minutes. A practical choice for those transitioning from binoculars to dedicated telescope work, or for experienced observers seeking a secondary scope for travel and field sessions.

Introduced at the 2007 Northeast Astronomy Forum, Tele Vue once again broadened the amateur astronomer's perspective on the universe with: 100° of pure Tele Vue quality. The field area of this new eyepiece is more than 50% larger than an 82° field. The Tele Vue Ethos is essentially multiple eyepieces, delivering the true field size of a longer focal length, narrower apparent field eyepiece with the benefits of higher power and darker sky background.
We invited NEAF attendees to take a look and see the universe the way we think it was meant to be experienced, with a field of view incredibly wide and sharp! We were very pleased indeed by the response and validation of our design goals.

Adjust the brightness level of the Moon, Venus, and other bright objects with the Optolong Variable Polarizer. A standard Moon Filter is similar to a pair of sunglasses. They work fine, but sometimes the scene is too dark or too bright, and there’s not a lot you can do about it. A variable polarizing filter is much more flexible than a Moon filter. It allows you to set the percentage of attenuation by turning the top section of the two-piece filter. Simply attach the 2" threaded filter to a like-sized eyepiece or Astro accessory barrel, and then slowly rotate the top half of the filter—it turns 360°—to achieve the results you desire.
The Optolong Variable Polarizing Filter also works great to cut brightness when you are using your telescope for terrestrial observations or photography. If you have ever done photography through a SLR or DSLR camera, you may have already been introduced to the qualities of a polarizing filter, since it is a very popular accessory for polarizing the light and making the sky appear bluer. You will especially appreciate a polarizing filter when viewing over water or photographing a scene that includes a river or body of water. Simply turn the filter until you achieve the most glare-free results—you will really see the difference.

This T-Ring fits EOS M-mount mirrorless cameras only. It will not work with other Canon camera bodies like the EOS RF-mount or EOS EF-mount model cameras without adding a Canon adapter to convert those cameras to M-mount.
A T-Ring is one of the first accessories you will need to take pictures through a telescope or spotting scope. If you have a Canon EOS mirrorless camera body, the Celestron EOS M-Mount T-Ring is the one for you.
How to Use
To use this T-Ring, place the M-Mount T-Ring on your Canon mirrorless camera. Just like changing a lens, line up the T-Ring to your camera’s lens mount. Push it in and turn until you hear a click. The T-Ring has a sturdy bayonet flange that locks for a secure fit. Once you attach the T-Ring to your camera, you’re ready to connect your telescope. The telescope side of the T-Ring has threads that accept a variety of camera adapters, including the Celestron T-Adapter. The adapter you choose depends on the type of photography you wish to do.
Body
The Canon M-Mount 42mm T-ring is machined aluminum black anodized. The internal surfaces are blackened and glare-threaded to provide the highest contrast. The T-Ring has a ribbed surface for a secure grip while threading/unthreading. The Canon M-Mount 42mm T-Ring is compatible with M42 x 0.75 (T-Thread) camera adapters.

Monarchs are already well-regarded by birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts worldwide, but the Monarch HG 10 x 42 is on another level entirely. Made in Japan, the exterior and optics have been completely redesigned, now featuring a magnesium alloy body and metal eyecups for added resistance to wear and tear, multilayer coating on all lenses and prisms, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass, and a wider field of view than even the wide-field Monarch 7s.
The barrels are completely waterproof and fogproof down to 5m depth and 5000m altitude, while most exciting of all is the addition of a field flattener, which assures a sharp and clear view all the way to the lens periphery. The end result is a pair of binoculars which perform well above their price-range, and have to be seen to be believed.
Key Features of the Nikon Monarch HG 10×42
Wide apparent field of view (62.2° for 10×42). While realising a wide field of view, the Field Flattener Lens System assures a sharp and clear view all the way to the lens periphery.
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass corrects chromatic aberration that causes colour fringing and realises a contrast-rich and high-resolution image
High-quality multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms while dielectric high-reflective multilayer coating is applied to the roof prisms, achieving a bright view of up to 92% or higher light transmittance, and natural colour fidelity
Phase-correction-coated roof prisms for high resolution and contrast
Scratch-resistant coating is applied on the objective lens and eyepiece surfaces
Long eye relief design ensures a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers
Lead- and arsenic-free glass is used for all lenses and prisms
Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint
Dioptre adjustment ring locking system prevents unintentional rotation
Sturdy, lightweight magnesium alloy body
Superior waterproof/fogproof performance with a nitrogen-filled body that resists water pressure to a depth of up to 5m/16.4 ft. for 10 minutes and prevents fogging inside the optical system even in low-pressure environments up to altitudes of 5,000m/16,404 ft. equivalent
Soft-to-the-touch neck strap
Objective lens caps are integrated to prevent loss
Optional tripod adapter enables attachment to a tripod [TRA-3/Adapter H (hard type)

L-Quad Enhance Filter (L-QEF) is a quad bandpass light pollution suppression filter for colour cameras. It effectively suppresses the transmission of light pollution wavelengths, especially light pollution generated by artificial lighting (including mercury and sodium lamps), as well as the effects of natural skylight-induced effects on the shot, thus effectively enhancing the contrast and details of the celestial bodies, and making the objects more distinct and stereoscopic. This filter provides better color balance while improving resistance of light pollution. L-QEF can be used for both wide field astrophotography, such as the Milky Way in Summer and Winter, and deep sky objects such as nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and so forth; It allows you to save a lot of time during the shooting process and get better results at the same time. The design of quad bandpass maximises the colour balance of nebulae, galaxies and other broadband spectral targets.

- Cuts out light pollution from mercury and sodium lamps and produces a nice broadband image with minimal colour cast;
- Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR);
- Near IR cut-off to 1000nm, reducing the effects of IR noise;
- L-QEF has more than 90% transmittance of the nebula emission lines at H-Beta/OIII/H-Alpha/SII, with cut-off depth from OD2 to OD4, thus providing a significant increase in resistance to light pollution. L-QEF is good for night sky from Bortel 1 to Bortel 7 levels; (Bortel 8, Bortel 9 environments shall not be recommended, kindly chose Optolong other narrow-band filters, 3nm, 7nm type of filters are available.);
- Suitable for wide range of deep sky targets: it covers most nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, reflected and emitted line signals astronomical objects with higher contrast and rich details while maintaining excellent colour balance. L-QEF is superior to other filters of the same type.

Annals of the Deep Sky Vol 8: A Survey of Galactic and Extragalactic Objects by Jeff Kanipe.
The Annals of the Deep Sky: A Survey of Galactic and Extragalactic Objects is a comprehensive reference that guides astronomy enthusiasts into every mind-boggling corner of the observational universe. Each volume presents extensive descriptions of prominent stars and deep-sky objects in both the Northern and Southern hemisphere skies, including rarely observed objects and other celestial exotica. Incorporating the most recent findings in astrophysics and cosmology, deep historical context, and captivating illustrations and images, Annals provides readers with in-depth profiles of celestial objects beyond the solar system. The mission of every Annals volume is to guide observers on their own astronomical journey of exploration, whether it be at the eyepiece or from the comfort of a favorite chair on a rainy night. No other popular work in astronomy provides the comprehensive historical background and astrophysical appraisal of prominent celestial objects. We cannot visit these celestial marvels in our own hyperdrive spacecraft (yet), but Annals of the Deep Sky is the next best thing. Turn to page 1 and let it fly you across the universe.
Annals sorts the night sky into Galactic objects (those within the Milky Way) and extragalactic objects beyond our galaxy. Each chapter begins with an overall description of the pertinent constellation, its mythology if any, visibility, and overall appearance. From here, we move on to the building blocks of the Milky Way: stars in all their many forms, bright and dark nebulae, molecular clouds, star-forming regions, planetary nebulae, star clusters of every kind, and even the occasional telescopic asterism. Then, through the Milky Way framed by each constellation, we peer out into extragalactic space.
Volume 8 explores three of the most fascinating constellations in the night sky.
Cygnus is extremely rich, particularly in nebulae. Featured objects include popular favorites such as Chi Cygni, which has one of the largest visual amplitudes among Mira-class stars; P Cygni, a supernova in the making; the North America and Pelican nebulae; NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula; and the radio galaxy Cygnus A.
Delphinus include the nova, HR Delphini; the bright globular clusters NGC 6394 and NGC 7006; and the galaxy groups of NGC 6928 and NGC 6956.
Dorado leads us into the wonders of the southern sky beginning with the close binary Alpha Doradus; R Doradus, known for having the largest apparent diameter of any star in the sky except the Sun; and the beautiful face-on spiral galaxy, NGC 1566.

The Astronomik H-alpha filter is a narrow band filter for CCD photography. The filter lets the H-alpha light of emission nebulae pass and blocks nearly the whole remainder of the spectrum where the CCD is sensitive.
The full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 12nm is optimized for the use with common CCD cameras and allows the use of very fast optics. It should be noted that the filter has a transmission of up to 99%.Another advantage of the 12nm filters is the availability of guiding stars for cameras with a built-in-autoguider (SBIG). If you use a very strong filter like our 6nm filter you often won’t find a usable guidestar.The range of application extends from 1:2.8 to 1:15. Transmission losses and chromatic distortions, which arise with other filters, only occur with Astronomik filters when extremely bright aperture ratios of 1:2 and more come into play.
Main use
The Astronomik H-alpha-CCD (12nm version) increases the contrast between objects, in this case between the H-alpha emission line and the skyglow background. Our Astronomik H-alpha-CCD (12nm version) completely suppresses the emission lines of artificial lighting (mercury (Hg) and sodium (Na)) and skyglow.
Other uses
- When using the OIII CCD and the SII-CCD filters you can obtain three-color images of emission line objects (gas nebulae) from locations with very strong light pollution. To do so, you would take an image in three different wavelengths, select each one as a color-channel in Photoshop and paste them together as a color image.
- The Astronomik H-Alpha filters may NOT be used for solar observation.
- If you plan to create color images from emission line data, our CLS-CCD filter is a great choice for the Luminance channel.

Optolong UV/IR Cut filter is designed for ultraviolet and infrared wavelength blocking to improve sharpness of the image as most of the optics are designed for the visible spectrum, because it’s very difficult to create a lens with the same focal point for the visible and IR spectrum.
It is used on a digital camera and the video, which do not have an IR protection filter toward an image sensor or were remodeled. This is important because unfiltered CCD and CMOS sensors are extremely susceptible to UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum that can have a very negative impact on image quality.
Main Use and Performance
Suitable for color CMOS and CCD cameras and modified DSLRs.
Use with monochrome CCD for astrophotography.
Available to assist in focusing.
Act as an outstanding dust shield, which prevents the possibility of dust settling on the lens during long time exposure.
WARNING: The filters of Optolong are not designed for sun observation. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH OPTOLONG FILTER. You would be BLIND if you fail to observe the warning.
