PlaneWave CDK 12.5 Fused Silica
Capturing the most stunning astrophotographs possible is something our team is passionate about. From design to manufacture, our goal with the Corrected Dall-Kirkham (CDK) 12.5″ telescope was centered around performance and ease of use. The PlaneWave CDK 12.5 Fused Silica is an incredible breakthrough in telescope technology and produces no off-axis coma and no off-axis astigmatism. Additionally, the PlaneWave CDK 12.5 Fused Silica provides a perfectly flat field so your astrophotographs will have stunning clarity from corner to corner of the image without field curvature degrading the photos. Offering the simplicity of single-mirror collimation, the stray light control of advanced baffles, structural performance created through finite element analysis (FEA), and decades of telescope design experience, the CDK12.5 is an exceptional diffraction-limited telescope. CDK12.5 users can experience pinpoint stars edge-to-edge and a 70 x 70 arcminute field of view when using large camera sensors. When equipment fades into the background and simply performs, the astrophotography experience becomes even more fun and rewarding!
The PlaneWave CDK 12.5 Fused Silica is a 12.5 inch (0.32 m) f/8 Corrected Dall-Kirkham Astrograph telescope. The telescope has a closed carbon fiber tube, with 3 cooling fans ejecting air from the back of the telescope. The PlaneWave CDK 12.5 covers a 52 mm field of view without any field curvature, off-axis coma, or astigmatism. The instrument weight is 21kg and comes standard with the large capacity 2.75 inch Hedrick focuser.
| Carbon Fiber Tube Design | Minimizes thermal expansion which causes focus shift with changes in temperature |
| Dovetail expansion joint | Allows for the difference in thermal expansion between carbon fiber and aluminium. The expansion joint allows the aluminium dovetail expand and contract without stressing the carbon fiber lower truss |
| 2.75 inch Hedrick Focuser | Heavy duty no-slip focuser. The focus tube runs on 5 bearings and is driven by a leadscrew so there is no chance of slipping. Focus may be automated through a computer using PlaneWave's EFA Kit add-on. The draw tube travel is 1.3 inch. Image 1 Image 2 |
| Cooling Fans | Three fans blow out of the optical tube pulling air though the telescope and by the primary mirror. This helps the telescope to reach thermal equilibrium quickly. The fans are controlled by a switch on the optical tube or can be controlled by a computer if the optional Electronic Focus Accessory (EFA Kit) is purchased. |
Technology
The CDK Optical Design
The CDK
Optical Performance
Shown are two simulations showing the CDK’s stunning performance. The first is a diffraction simulation and the second is a spot diagram. In both simulations the small squares are 9×9 microns, about the size of a CCD pixel. In the diffraction simulation the star images on axis and off-axis are nearly identical. In the spot diagram 21mm off-axis the spot size is an incredible 6 microns RMS diameter. This means stars across a 52 mm image circle are going to be pinpoints as small as the atmospheric seeing will allow.
Both of the simulations take into consideration a flat field, which is a more accurate representation of how the optics would perform on a flat CCD camera chip. For visual use some amount of field curvature would be allowed since the eye is able to compensate for a curved field. The diffraction simulation was calculated at 585nm. The spot diagram was calculated at 720, 585, and 430nm. Many companies show spot diagrams in only one wavelength, but you cannot see the chromatic performance with only one wavelength.
Comparison: CDK vs. Ritchey Chrétien
The simulations shown compares the optical performance of the CDK design to the Ritchey Chrétien (RC) design. The Ritchey design was popularized as an astroimaging telescope due to its use in many professional
observatories. Although very difficult and expensive to manufacture and align, the Ritchey is successful in eliminating many of the problems that plague many other designs, namely off-axis coma. However the Ritchey does nothing to eliminate the damaging effects of off-axis astigmatism and field curvature.
The CDK design tackles the off-axis coma problem by integrating a pair of correcting lenses into a two mirror design. The beauty is that this design also corrects for astigmatism and field curvature. Because the lenses are relatively close to the focal plane (unlike the Schmidt corrector plate found in various Schmidt Cassegrain designs), and because these lenses work together as a doublet, there is no chromatic aberration. The CDK offers a wide aberration-free, flat field of view that allows the user to take full advantage of the very large imaging chip cameras in the market place today.
Having an aberration free telescope design means nothing if the optics cannot be aligned properly. Many Ritchey owners never get to take full advantage of their instrument’s performance because the Ritchey is very difficult to collimate. Aligning the hyperbolic secondary mirror’s optical axis to the optical axis of the primary mirror is critical in the Ritchey design, and the tolerances are unforgiving. The secondary mirror of the CDK design is spherical. It has no optical axis and so the centering tolerance of the CDK secondary mirror is comparatively huge. With the help of some very simple tools, the CDK user will be able to set the secondary spacing, collimate the optics and begin enjoying the full performance potential the instrument has to offer within a few minutes.
The drastic difference in performance between the CDK and the RC is apparent. The biggest component that degrades the off-axis performance of the RC is the defocus due to field curvature. In many diagrams shown by RC manufacturers, the diagrams look better than this because they are showing a curved field. This is fine for visual use because the eye can compensate for some amount of curvature of field. But CCD arrays are flat and so in order to evaluate the performance a spot diagrams and/or diffraction simulations requires a flat field as shown.

The QHY294 Pro is a 4/3-inch back-illuminated camera, equipped with Sony IMX294 (Color) and IMX 492 (Mono) sensor. The 294 Pro has 11.7 MP at 4.63um, 14-bits A/D. The IMX294 and IMX492 chips have 46.8 million 2.315um pixels, which Sony 2×2 bins on-chip to create the sensor’s advertised 11.7 million 4.63um pixel array. The QHY294 Pro series camera is capable of locking and unlocking the on-chip binning to provide two readout modes. The first mode reads the sensor “locked” mode to produce 11.6mp images with 4.63um pixel size and 14 bits per pixel. The second read mode unlocks the binning to produce 46.8mp images with 2.315um pixel size at 12 bits per pixel.
The QHY294 Pro CMOS sensor has a dual gain mode, HGC (high gain) and LGC (Low gain). The QHY294 Pro will switch the two modes automatically when the gain is set to 1600 you will get the benefits of the ultra low read noise (1e- to 1.6e-) of the HGC mode and a full well capacity of about 14.5ke- at the switch point setting.
One benefit of the back-illuminated CMOS structure is improved full well capacity. In a typical front-illuminated sensor, photons from the target entering the photosensitive layer of the sensor must first pass through the metal wiring that is embedded just above the photosensitive layer. The wiring structure reflects some of the photons and reduces the efficiency of the sensor.
In the back- illuminated sensor the light is allowed to enter the photosensitive surface from the reverse side. In this case the sensor’s embedded wiring structure is below the photosensitive layer. As a result, more incoming photons strike the photosensitive layer and more electrons are generated and captured in the pixel well. This ratio of photon to electron production is called quantum efficiency. The higher the quantum efficiency the more efficient the sensor is at converting photons to electrons and hence the more sensitive the sensor is to capturing an image of something dim.
In the DSLR implementation there is a RAW image output, but typically it is not completely RAW. Some evidence of noise reduction and hot pixel removal is still visible on close inspection. This can have a negative effect on the image for astronomy such as the “star eater” effect. However, QHY Cameras offer TRUE RAW IMAGE OUTPUT and produces an image comprised of the original signal only, thereby maintaining the maximum flexibility for post-acquisition astronomical image processing programs and other scientific imaging applications.
Based on almost 20-year cooled camera design experience, The QHY cooled camera has implemented the fully dew control solutions. The optic window has built-in dew heater and the chamber is protected from internal humidity condensation. An electric heating board for the chamber window can prevent the formation of dew and the sensor itself is kept dry with our silicon gel tube socket design for control of humidity within the sensor chamber.
Cooling
In addition to dual stage TE cooling, QHYCCD implements proprietary technology in hardware to control the dark current noise.

The All NEW iOptron CEM120EC2
An extraordinary innovation in mount design...Now with a new payload!
Recognizing the growing demand for an accurate and stable, equatorial mount with the versatility to carry larger instruments and more complex imaging arrays, we created the iOptron CEM120EC2. It offers the benefits of our revolutionary “center balance” design: stability, accuracy, and smooth mechanical operation, while capable of carrying a payload up to 52 kg. The “center balance” design’s natural stability is due to its focusing the mount along with payloads weight directly over the center of the pier or tripod. Along with the stability aspect, the CEM120 features an advanced cable management system consisting of more ports in more locations preventing tangle ups and reducing the chance of fractured cables. They also add some new features to the CEM family like Wi-Fi and LAN for remote operation and easy to use, reliable clutches on both axes.
The CEM120EC2 utilizes two high resolution encoders, one on each axis. The two encoders enable the mount to perform dual axes tracking. With advanced sky modeling the CEM120EC2 will be able to account and adjust for polar alignment error as well as changes in atmospheric (refractive) distortion. Fixed home sensors on each axis, allow the mount to save alignment models after power off too to be used on future nights.

New Improved from ZWO-OAG-L ZWO-OAG-L is the latest iteration of M68 OAG with a larger prism size of 12mm x 12mm. The bigger clear aperture brings wider field of view in guiding. It is easy to use, and suitable for users who are interested in long focal length photography. To take the most advantage of it, we recommend you to match it with large format guiding cameras. Features: 1. Lightweight and exquisite, 17.5mm thickness. 2. Prism size: 12mm x 12mm. 3. The effective light-passing aperture is 11.7mm x 8.3mm. 4. Can be used to connect the main camera and guide camera simultaneously. No guide telescope required. 5. Packaged with an M48 sensor tilt plate (5mm). Operating Guide: 1. For guiding, OAG-L can only work with ASI Mini cameras like ASI174MM Mini, ASI290MM Mini and ASI120MM Mini. 2. Considering the large prism size, we don’t recommend you use OAG-L with telescopes whose clear aperture is smaller than M48. 3. Yet it is recommended to use with 2” EFW or 7x36mm EFW, and with APS-C cameras (ASI2600) or full frame cameras (ASI6200/2400). The large clear aperture supports full frame cameras without vignetting. 4. The major differences between ZWO-OAG-L and M68 OAG are about the prism size and the threads. ZWO-OAG-L removed the inner threads so you can directly use the screws to connect it to other equipment. 5. If the thread of your telescope side is M48, then you don’t need to remove the M48 sensor tilt plate coming with ZWO-OAG-L. On the contrary, you need to remove it and use some other sensor tilt plate at the corresponding thread of your telescope. The pictures below show how to remove the sensor tilt plate: OAG-L Mechanical Drawing OAG-L & OAG-L-68 Mechanical Drawing Connection Guide: Please Note: While adding ZWO-OAG-L into your optical train, please make sure the prism won’t block the camera sensor. You can use the guiding screw to adjust the guiding camera’s focus length. Please make sure the distance from the prism to the main camera and to the guide camera are the same. To ensure the result, it is better to do this in the daytime for the adjustment will be very difficult at night.

The Sky-Watcher VIRTUOSO GTi 150mm (6") reflector table top Dobsonian is a GOTO telescope that’s ideal for beginners and experienced observers who want to get straight into their star gazing. The larger mirror in this model compared to the 130mm (5") version will mean brighter and more detailed images.
This small telescope is highly portable and has full GOTO and tracking capabilities.
Download the SynScan app from the Apple or Android store and connect to the Wifi network generated by the Sky-Watcher VIRTUOSO mount. You don’t need an Internet connection to use the telescope once you’ve installed the SynScan app, so it’s great for observing in dark sky sites where there a mobile phone signal mightn’t be available.
Aligning the mount takes mere minutes with the “Bright Object” alignment mode. The computerised SynScan system allows automatic pointing and tracking of more than 42,000 object in the sky including planets star cluster, nebulae and even galaxies. This means less time spent finding that faint nebula or a distant planet and more time to enjoy observing.
The 150mm (6") diameter Collapsible Dobsonian is a compact and easy-to-use table top telescope. The patented collapsible system makes it is particularly easy to store and transport. Just extend the tube, point the telescope using the red dot finder scope, insert the eyepiece and enjoy the night sky. This Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon as well as views of many deep sky objects.
The VIRTUOSO GTi Dobsonian Mount requires 12v DC and can be run on batteries. BINTEL can supply an additional 12v power adaptor or rechargeable portable battery pack to suit your needs.

The world, exactly as it is. Every colour true, every edge sharp, from first light to last.
A 6.5° real field of view
At 114 metres per 1,000 metres — a 6.5° real field of view — the NL Pure 10×32 delivers compelling reach in a compact body. A bird at the tree line, a whale sounding offshore, an alpine ridge at first light: detail resolved at range.
Light the eye can use
SWAROBRIGHT HD multi-layer coating on every optical surface achieves 92% total light transmission. Not a headline figure — it is the difference between dawn detail and a grey silhouette, colour and nothing, a flush and a miss.
Edge-to-edge sharpness. Not just centre sharpness.
Swarovski Optik's patented FieldFlattener lenses correct field curvature across the entire image circle. The result is a flat, uniformly sharp field all the way to the edge — not just the centre sweet spot. When a bird crosses the frame, it stays in focus.
Full field view for spectacle wearers — no compromise to the optical experience.
Repels everything
Hydrophobic and oleophobic outer lens coating. Water beads off. Fingerprints wipe clean in one pass. Rain does not stop the session.
Nitrogen-purged and submersible to 4 metres. Safe in rain, spray, and accidental immersion.
Crafted at source
Every NL Pure is assembled by hand in Absam, Austria — home of Swarovski Optik since 1949.
The forehead rest. A genuinely new idea.
The NL Pure's forehead rest sits above the eyecups and lets you brace the binocular against your brow, significantly reducing hand tremor and fatigue during extended viewing. A small structural detail that changes every long session in the field. Patented by Swarovski Optik.
Go lighter. See more.
The NL Pure 10×32 is the binocular for the observer who wants world-class optics without the weight. 640g. Compact enough for a jacket pocket. Ready for every outing.

The forehead rest. A genuinely new idea.
The NL Pure's forehead rest sits above the eyecups and lets you brace the binocular against your brow, significantly reducing hand tremor and fatigue during extended viewing. A small structural detail that changes every long session in the field. Patented by Swarovski Optik.

Full NL Pure optical quality in a body light enough to forget you’re wearing it. 150 m field of view, 640 g. The binocular you’ll actually take everywhere.
The widest field of view in any compact 32 mm binocular. 150 m at 1,000 m – in a glass that fits in a jacket pocket.
Field flattener lenses. Edge-to-edge clarity.
Most binoculars soften at the edges. The NL Pure uses field flattener lenses to counteract field curvature, delivering razor-sharp detail right to the rim of the view. No compromise, no blur where the birds are.
Natural ergonomic grip. Hours of use without fatigue.
Compact size. Generous light.
A 4 mm exit pupil – unusually large for a 32 mm objective – paired with 92% light transmission. SWAROVISION coatings pull every photon forward, keeping the image vivid well past golden hour.
Submersible to 4 m depth.
Nitrogen-purged to prevent fogging. Sealed to 4 metres. Weather is not a reason to leave the NL Pure at home.
Steady the view. Forget the binoculars.
The optional forehead rest lets you observe for hours without arm fatigue. Your hands hold steady, your attention stays on the bird. Combined with the wasp-waist grip, the NL Pure becomes an extension of your own vision.
Small body. No shortcuts.
The same Austrian craftsmanship as the full-size NL Pure – machined focus wheel, phase-coated BaK-4 prisms, hand-assembled – in a body 30% lighter than the 42 mm. Nothing was left out. Only weight.
The compact that punches above its class. Nothing compromised.
150 m field of view at 1,000 m – the widest in any 8×32 binocular. Tracks fast-flying birds with ease.
SWAROVISION field flattener lenses deliver sharp, distortion-free images to the very edge of the view.
18 mm eye relief with seven eyecup positions. Full field of view with or without eyeglasses.
92% light transmission with a 4 mm exit pupil – a class-leading figure for a 32 mm compact. Bright to the very last of the light.
Wasp-waist ergonomic housing sits naturally in the hand. Comfortable for extended observation sessions.
Compatible with the full FieldPro Pro accessory system: forehead rest, wide strap lug, tripod adapter.
Close focus of 2 m. Butterflies, orchids, and birds in dense undergrowth – all resolved in full NL Pure detail.
Nitrogen-purged and waterproof to 4 m. Sealed against moisture, fog, and Australian field conditions.
Adapt to every situation.
The NL Pure is the foundation. The FieldPro Pro accessory system builds on it. Attach the forehead rest for hours of hands-free steady observation. Add the wide strap lug for a broader, more comfortable carry. Mount the tripod adapter for long-distance scanning in the field.
Swarovski NL Pure 8×32. Every number.
Built in Austria. Backed by Bintel.

The Swarovski CSO cleaning set optics allows a thorough and gentle cleaning of all optical lenses. The set consists of a lens cleaner, a cleaning brush, a dust blower and two microfiber cloths in different sizes - all practically packed in a high-quality bag.
The set is particularly durable, so you can easily wash the microfiber cloths and the bag in the washing machine (40°C/100°F). Refill the glass bottle with the lens cleaner (fluid) at selected retailers. Besides, we are largely avoiding the use of plastics and are going for alternative materials such as bamboo or glass instead.
Protect what you love - When you regularly clean the lenses, your device will keep its optical brilliance for a lifetime.

RANGEFINDER
MEASURE
The binoculars combine state-of-the-art optics with precise measuring functions.
The integrated tilt indicator with a unique angle shot program displays either the adjusted shooting distance or the angle. The EL RANGE Tracking Assist gives you precise measurements from a distance of 10 meters (10.9 yards).
PERSONALIZED BALLISTICS
AIM
Use the smartphone app to configure the binoculars to your specific needs and individual ballistics data. Based on this and atmospheric data such as air pressure and temperature, it helps you to shoot with even greater precision because, along with the adjusted shooting distance, it also gives you the number of clicks needed for your rifle scope.
Tracking Assist
FIND
The integrated Tracking Assistant makes it much easier to track your prey by guiding you to where you fired your last shot. You can opt to use this program via your phone or your EL Range.
HUNTING CHAMOIS
WITH THE EL RANGE TA IN THE SWISS ALPS
For more than 10 years, Fabien Prétôt has never missed the opening day of the chamois season. So he headed out into the Swiss Alps of the canton of Valais in September 2020 to stay true to this tradition. However, this time he was not only accompanied by me, his brother Vincent, but also by the new EL Range TA.
