Celestron X-Cel LX series eyepieces offer a 60º apparent field of view, perfect for the Moon, the planets, and a plethora of deep-sky objects. The premium six-element optical set is finished with multiple layers of high-transmission coatings for clear, sharp images. The edges of the optics are blackened for increased contrast. All seven X-Cel LX eyepieces sport 16mm of comfortable eye relief, and are parfocal, which means you can switch out eyepieces within the series during observing sessions and little or no additional focusing will be required. The X-Cel LX eyepiece body is made of black-anodized aluminum. The pop-up eyecups make it easy to adjust the height for different users. Turn them in one direction to extend the length, and the other direction to provide a flat surface, preferable to most eyeglass wearers. A threaded rubber grip around the center of the eyepiece barrel offers secure handling, even in moist conditions or with heavy gloves on. The 1.25” insert barrel is threaded to accept filters.

The Celestron C8-A is the direct (but much improved) descendent of Celestron’s revolutionary C8 that transformed the hobby of astronomy when it was unveiled in 1970. This rugged aluminum optical tube is only 17 inches long and weighs just 13 pounds, making it easy to transport and set up. But the views are much more impressive than what you’d expect from such a compact instrument. The tube offers 2032 mm of focal length and a focal ratio of f/10, with the added versatility of Fastar (see below).

It is equipped with Celestron’s patented StarBright® XLT optical coatings, which visibly increase contrast and light transmission for brighter deep space images and shorter exposure times. With StarBright XLT, you’ll be able to discern subtle details while viewing the Moon and planets as well as faint galaxies and nebulae.

The Celestron C8-A can be mounted on a multitude of computerized telescope mounts thanks to its CGEM style dovetail bar. This iconic optical tube provides the best balance of portability, handling ease, light gathering ability and price ever offered to the amateur astronomer.

Fastar Technology

In 1997, CCDs were making a name for themselves in the astrophotography world, quickly supplanting traditional film photography thanks to their speed and convenience. This was the year that Celestron joined forces with the Santa Barbara Instruments Group (SBIG) to produce Fastar, a revolutionary add-on to Celestron’s hugely popular Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) optical system.

With Fastar, the SCT’s secondary mirror can be removed and replaced with a field-flattening lens assembly (sold separately by third party manufacturers) so that a CCD camera can be used in the front of the telescope at the f/2 focus of the instrument’s primary mirror. The potential of the Fastar system is staggering: exposures are 25 times shorter than if the camera was placed at the instrument’s native f/10 focus. Imagers can capture galaxies and nebulae with exposures of just 30 seconds.

StarBright XLT coatings

StarBright XLT is Celestron’s revolutionary optical coating system. It consistently outperforms all other coatings in the commercial telescope market. There are three major components that make up our StarBright XLT high-transmission optical system design:

• Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror coatings made from precise layers of aluminum, SiO2 (quartz), TiO2 (titanium dioxide), and SiO2 (silicon dioxide). Reflectivity is fairly flat across the spectrum, optimizing it for both imaging and visual observing.
• Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings made from precise layers of MgF2 (magnesium fluoride) and HfO2 (hafnium dioxide). Hafnium—a rare element that costs nearly $2,000 per kilogram—gives us a wider band pass than the titanium used in competing coatings.
• High-transmission water white glass is used instead of soda lime glass for the corrector lens. Water white glass transmits about 90.5% of light without anti-reflective coatings; that’s 3.5% better than uncoated soda lime glass. When water white glass is used in conjunction with StarBright XLT’s anti-reflective coatings, the average transmission reaches an astonishing 97.4.

It is at moments like these that you find out whether you are properly equipped. Wherever you are with Swarovski Optik, the natural world becomes ever more amazing. The Swarovski STS 65 HD observation telescope sets the highest standards among telescopes in this category. The STS 65 HD is more compact and lighter than scopes in the 80mm class, providing better portability in the field.

The use of fluorite HD lenses virtually eliminates colour fringing (chromatic aberration) for contrast-rich images. As a result, significant improvements in resolution and contrast are achieved when compared to conventional grades of glass. This is the best option for perfect image fidelity when digiscoping or for demanding visual observations.

The 25-50x eyepiece provides variable magnification and achieves luminous, diamond-bright images with edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire magnification range, while at the same time providing a wide field of view. This configuration is very good for all birding situations in particular – enabling both scanning of the terrain and bird identification in razor-sharp detail across the whole field. It is the most popular option for general nature observation.

Note: If you intend to use your scope for digiscoping, the Swarovski STS 65 HD with 25-50x wide eyepiece is preferable. This eyepiece provides a wide apparent field of view and minimizes vignetting when used for digiscoping.

The non-stick effect of the SWAROCLEAN coating on the outer surface of the lens makes cleaning objective and eyepiece lenses considerably easier, above all when removing dried-on mineral residues (e.g. water marks due to condensation), insect repellents and tree resin. The lenses require less intensive cleaning which significantly increases the longevity of optical products.

Night Sky Observers Guide - Vol 2 is for Spring and Summer (Autumn and Winter for the Southern Hemisphere)

The original purpose of The Night Sky Observer’s Guide was to close the gap between observing literature and modern optics. It provided the owner of a medium- or large-aperture telescope with some idea of what to look for in such instruments — both what objects can be seen, and what details may be seen within these objects. Now, with four volumes, it has become an indispensable resource for observing.

The Night Sky Observer’s Guide - Vol 2 is especially aimed at amateurs interested in observing galaxies, nebula, and clusters, and also includes double and variable stars. The most famous or visually impressive of these have written descriptions similar to those for other deep-sky objects. For most of the deep-sky objects covered, there is a brief description as seen through two or more telescopes apertures such as 8/10", 12/14", 16/18", 20/22", and at different powers. Eyepiece impression sketches are provided for hundreds of objects. Although this book was intended for Northern Latitudes as is evident by the volume names, it is a very useful addition to any astronomer's library of observational aids.

Each chapter is devoted to a constellation, with general comments on the first page. The second page shows a map of the constellation facing a table of stellar data, which usually fills the entire page. The remaining pages of each chapter contain photographs, sketches, and finding charts. Throughout, descriptions of objects include views seen through different-sized instruments.

CONSTELLATIONS COVERED:
Antlia, Aquila, Bootes, Canes Venatici, Capricornus, Centaurus, Coma Berenices, Corona Australis, Corona Borealis, Corvus, Crater, Cygnus, Delphinus, Draco, Equuleus, Hercules, Hydra, Leo, Leo Minor, Libra, Lupus, Lyra, Microscopium, Ophiuchus, Sagitta, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Scutum, Serpens Caput, Serpens Cauda, Sextans, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Virgo, and Vulpecula.

New version of a proven, robust telescope mount, the Sky-Watcher HEQ-5, offers smoother movement and tracking, along with updated connectivity and power management

The Sky-Watcher HEQ5-R PRO brings serious design improvements to one of the world’s most popular equatorial mounts. Built for serious observers and astrophotographers, the HEQ5-R PRO combines superior mechanics, smart connectivity, and smooth, quiet tracking to deliver an exceptional observing and imaging experience.

A new belt-driven system ensures ultra-smooth slewing and significantly reduced backlash, improving guiding accuracy for long-exposure astrophotography. The upgraded worm wheels—with 160 teeth on the RA axis and 144 on DEC—enhance tracking precision and allow for a higher payload.

The mount also introduces a built-in USB hub and external power ports, simplifying cable management and providing direct connections for cameras, guide scopes, and accessories. The refined exterior design, robust construction, and stainless-steel tripod deliver stability and performance that astrophotographers can rely on.

Upgrade Highlights include:

• Precision Belt Drive System – Reduced backlash and smoother motion for more accurate guiding.
• Upgraded Worm Gear Assembly – Increased tooth count for enhanced tracking performance.
• Integrated USB Hub and Power Ports – Makes for easier connection and power for imaging accessories.
• Higher Payload Capacity – Now supports up to 15 kg, ideal for the larger optical setups favoured by astrophotographers.

• Streamlined  Design – Durable, ergonomic structure with compact counterweights and improved cable routing.

Optolong L2 Dual-Combo Filter Set

The Optolong L2 Dual-Combo Set includes two premium dual-narrowband filters, L-eXtreme and L-Synergy, designed for colour-camera astrophotography. Compatible with telescopes f/3.3 and slower, this set allows users to capture Hubble Palette deep-sky images without switching to a monochrome camera or buying a full three-filter SHO set. It provides professional-level narrowband imaging with minimal investment.

The L-eXtreme transmits OIII (500.7 nm) and Hα (656.3 nm), blocking unwanted light-pollution wavelengths to deliver bright nebula details with high contrast. Years of refinement optimise performance and reduce bright star halos.

The L-Synergy transmits OIII (500.7 nm) and SII (672.4 nm) with high efficiency while rejecting other wavelengths. It minimises light pollution effects and preserves nebula detail, producing clean data for processing.

The combination of these filters allows colour-camera users to achieve Hubble Palette imaging efficiently. It enhances nebula structure, improves contrast, and enables richer colour separation in light-polluted skies.

The filters are engineered to preserve the distinctive colours of nebulae while filtering out most light pollution. Their tuned transmission profiles ensure strong signal in the target emission lines and high signal-to-noise performance for detailed deep-sky images.

This set is ideal for astrophotographers using colour cameras who want professional-quality narrowband imaging with existing equipment.
