Premium Optics with HD Concept

The optical excellence of the Conquest HDX is based on the HD concept: a perfectly balanced optical system that combines selected coatings, lenses and a finely tuned optical design. It enables 90 % light transmission for the brightest images, color fidelity for true-to-life images without color fringing and color casts for perfect identification and sharpness from edge to edge for a clear and detailed image across the entire field-of-view.

Robust and durable design

The Conquest HDX is built to last in any environment, whether it's extreme temperatures, wet conditions, or direct sunlight. Its durable, waterproof, and shockproof features are attributed to its robust mechanical design and lightweight magnesium housing. Additionally, it's covered with a protective rubber armoring that provides a perfect grip under any circumstances.

Carefully thought-out ergonomics

The carefully thought-out ergonomics enable comfortable handling during longer periods of observation thanks to the non-slip grip and the smooth and precise focusing wheel. Adjustable eyecups and lockable diopter settings ensure a customized viewing experience.

A clear view, whatever the weather

There are always exciting things to be seen in the world of nature – even in wet weather. This is why ZEISS developed LotuTec®. A coating for the lenses of binoculars and spotting scopes that enables a clear and unhindered view in all weather conditions.

ZEISS T* Coating

ZEISS T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images­­ which you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.

Uncompromising high performance thanks to SWAROVISION technology

The pioneering SWAROVISION technology with field flattener lenses offsets the curvature of the field of view to provide exceptional edge sharpness. This means the complete image stays sharp from the middle of the field of view all the way to the edges. There is no need to refocus if your eye moves in the image, you can immediately see every detail in absolute clarity. The special coating on the lenses in combination with the inert gas filling ensures color fidelity.

Astronomy is a device based pursuit. As with any other equipment based activity, there is always a long list of manufacturers offering an amazing array of devices promising spectacular results at often astronomical prices. Think $5000 golf clubs that promise to turn you into Tiger Woods.

Arc Fortnights Compendium of Astronomical Devices is an illustrated satire of such manufacturers and the gullibility of their customers. Using the Steampunk style to illustrate the high technology devices provides a visual contrast that adds another layer to the absurd nature of these devices.

The book is presented in 2 sections, the Compendium of Devices and Great Moments in Science History. The second section also uses steampunk illustrations to highlight notable events of dubious notoriety.

Events such as “The Beagle has landed”, a recounting of the real lunar landing in 1869 by Jules Verne and Charles Darwin in their riveted brass and copper spaceship.

To keep the wider (non-astronomer) readers in on the jokes, most devices are linked to a glossary of terms where the intricate detail of the device or process is explained in plain non-technical English, hopefully making this book educational as well as fun.

It is recommended to use a counterweight of ≤5 kg. When using a 5 kg counterweight, the lever arm should be installed within the range of 20 cm to 30 cm. 
For counterweights of other masses, the installation position can be calculated as follows: 

Assume the counterweight mass is m kg. The allowable lever arm length L is defined by:
10 N·m ≤ m × g × L ≤ 15 N·m where g = 9.8 m/s2, 
which can be approximated as 10 m/s2.

For example, if a 2 kg counterweight is used, the allowable range of L is from
10 N·m / (2 × 10 m/s2) = 0.5 m to
15 N·m / (2 × 10 m/s2) = 0.75 m.

The general public are familiar to some extent with the amazing images produced by the Hubble and James Webb Space telescopes. Such images are presented as “pretty pictures” in more general publications and any more detailed analysis of the images quickly becomes very scientific.

This book proposes to go beyond the pretty picture and explore these wonders of the universe in plain English, using non-scientific language, while maintaining a balance of Science and Art. Aspects of each object such as colour are addressed via a discussion of wavelengths of light, the gases that emit specific wavelengths of light and how these are combined to create the image we see.

The book highlights 50 of the most popular images from these telescopes along with images from terrestrial telescopes in Chile, Spain, The Canary Islands and Australia.

Each image is described in plain English and discusses aspects such as where in the sky is the object, how far is it away, what causes the colours, what processes have formed the structure and what new knowledge has been gained from this observation.

A section outlining how these colour images are produced by combining several monochrome images sheds some of the mystery behind the creation of these images.

The final section includes guidelines on how to access the raw image data from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope archives and how citizen scientist readers can create their own images based on their interpretation of science and art.

The DeltaRho 500 is a Cassegrain Optical Design with the imaging train at the back of the telescope to prevent obstruction of the instrument. This offers a real advantage against prime focus designs, which can severely limit users’ ability to operate with filter wheels or large cameras. Witness the incredible breakthrough in telescope technology as the DeltaRho 500 operates at f/3 and 1537 mm focal length, which is sure to revolutionize your astrophotography.

Last, but not least, the DeltaRho 500 provides a flat field, which ensures stunning clarity from corner-to-corner images without field curvature degradation. The DeltaRho 500 offers the simplicity of single-mirror collimation, stray light control of advanced 3D printed baffles, and structural performance created through finite element analysis (FEA). DeltaRho 500 users can experience pinpoint stars edge-to-edge and a 2-degree field of view when using large 16803/4040 (52mm) size camera sensors. This field of view is over twice as large as our CDK 20! This kind of equipment allows users to experience a whole new level of wide-field imaging that can bring them closer than ever to deep space. The DeltaRho 500 allows nothing to stand in between the user and amazing astro images.
