The Atik 460EX fully supports 1.25" filters down to f/2, so you won't need to replace any of your current investment in wheel or filters. This is an added advantage when looking to invest in a CCD camera that may go through multiple telescopes.

The Atik-4 Series cameras are a development of the renowned 3-Series cameras, featuring better cooling and narrower body. They benefit from setpoint cooling to make taking matching dark frames a snap, and simple 12V power requirement to facilitate field operation. The impressive sensitivity, great cooling and narrow profile, make the Atik Series 4 outstanding CCD cameras to use on modern telescopes, including Hyperstar/Fastar systems.

The back plate on all of the CDK models has four mounting positions for a finder mounting plate.

• The finder mounting plate attaches to the back plate of the telescope and the quick-release finder bracket attaches to the mounting plate.
• If the telescope is used on a German Equatorial mount it may be convenient to purchase two finder scopes, one for the east and one for the west side of the telescope.
• The finder scope is a Baader 10×60 Varios with mounting rings and L- bracket.

• This is an L-shaped bracket that attaches in four different places on the back of any of the CDK models.
• This is used to mount a finderscope or some other accessory.
• Two 1/4-20 screws provided attach the bracket to the backplate of the telescope and two 10-32 threaded holes spaced at 1.450″ can be used to mount accessories too.

The lightest vibration-canceller binoculars with 422 g (as of November 2017 by our company survey). It is lightweight binoculars equipped with vibration-canceller mechanism. Extremely stable field of view can be obtained even with hands thanks to the powerful vibration-canceller effect. You can observe everything in detail such as the shine of the bird's eyes and the pattern of the feathers and enjoy the live feeling as watching nearby.

Features

The incorporated vibration-canceller mechanism assures very stable image

Vibration by hands makes it often difficult to see cearly objects particularly at high magnification. ATERA H12x30 incorporates a vibration-canceller mechanism with a 2-axis gimbal control image stabilization mechanism. With a strong correction effect of vibration correction angle ± 3 degrees (up, down, left and right), a stable field of view can be obtained even at a high magnification of 12 times. Since micro vibration is also cancelled, it outperforms in observing details such as the shine of bird's eyes and the pattern of feathers. Also, if you observe a star, you can observe up to the darkest star as much as 1st grade than ordinary, which can not be seen with blurring.

Light422g design allows operating by single hand

The 422g light weight as binoculars equipped with vibration cancelling mechanism. You do not feel tired even using for a long time.

Stamina 12 hours duration with AAA batteries

Two AAA batteries are used for power supply. Since it is easy to obtain anywhere, it is safe to observe in the field and live in remote areas.Thanks to the stamina design of operation time around 12 hours (using a new alkaline dry battery at 20 ° C), you can focus on observation without worrying about battery consumption.Auto power off function which automatically turns off the power after 5 minutes elapses prevents wasteful battery drain.

Clear visibility by three coatings

By applying fully multi coating with anti-reflection multilayered coat on the entire lens surface, the phase coat on the prism that reduces halation and dramatically increases resolution, and a high reflection coat that increases the brightness of the image, stray light and loss of light intensity are thoroughly eliminated for an extreme clarity in the field of view.

Ergonomically desinged for excellent operability

A gentle rounded form fitting to a small hands, a focus ring that can be turned smoothly with light touch by single finger, a universal design that does not choose dominant hands, locating a battery space away from finger-touch area, all designed for holding comfort without stress. Considering loss of parts in a dark place such as a concert venue, we designed battery lid integrated.

Fashionable but simple design

Simple and smooth form gentle to hands, light beige color coordinated. It is a full-fledged mechanicics incorporating vibration-canceller mechanism, neutral design easy to coordinate to various fashion. An elegant and restless gloss feeling directs fashionable casually.

The Slik PRO CF-734 is a full size tripod extending to over 1.6m and folds down to a compact 47cm. Though lightweight (1.4kgs) the PRO CF-734 handles up to 5kgs. This makes it a great hiking and backpacking tripod to match with advanced enthusiast and professional camera bodies and/or heavy lenses in the field.

All 700 series carbon fiber tripods have legs made up of carbon fiber material that is actually comprised of 8 layers of inter-woven carbon strands that are then bonded together in a sealed, high-pressure furnace producing strong, light weight carbon fiber. The legs also feature A.R.S (Anti-Rotational System) is designed into the leg locks and do not allow the individual legs sections to rotate inside each other. Each leg also has an independent lock that sets in one 3 angles to vary the height and stance of the tripod. The three setting are for maximum height, waist level or low angle photography close to the ground.

The four leg sections are secured and loosened with twist locks. Because the legs are non-rotating, you can unlock all of a leg’s stages at once by twisting the three large rubber grips with one hand. This enables fast setup.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE VIEWING

Precise vision even in the close focusing range

Discover the finest pin-sharp details at long distances, as if they were right before your eyes. Leica APO-Televid spotting scopes offer the highest magnifications and superior fields of view over their whole magnification range.

For superior colour fidelity and maximum contrast

Fluoride lenses and the APO-chromatic lens system enable very low dispersion, excellent colour fidelity and very low colour fringing.

Prepared for any situation

Their short build makes the Leica spotting scopes discreet tour companions. If you find that impressive, you will be even more overwhelmed by their interior: high-performance optics, perfectly protected against environmental impacts combined with easy handling.

On all Leica APO-Televid angled spotting scopes, the Leica Extender 1.8 x in conjunction with the eyepiece also enables magnifications of up to 90 times. Thanks to this enormous expansion of the zoom range, animal, nature and astronomy observations are even more enjoyable. The bayonet connection has an integrated automatic locking mechanism, with which the eyepiece and extender can be quickly and securely attached to the spotting scope. The rubber-armored functional elements and the comfortable rotating eyecup ensure excellent grip and observation comfort.

The Essentials

• Largest fields of view even with 90x magnification
• High-contrast images can still be recognized
• Enables magnifications from 45 to 90 times for Leica angle spotting scopes in conjunction with the Leica eyepiece
• Quick and secure fixation between the angle spotting scope and the eyepiece, thanks to automatic locking on the bayonet connection
