Sky-Watcher 127mm AZ-Go2 Maksutov Cassegrain
The Sky-Watcher 127/1500 Maksutov Cassegrain is a fully automatic telescope ideal for beginners and those who want to get straight to observing. Aligning the mount takes mere minutes with the “Bright Object” alignment mode with the computerised SynScan system that allows automatic pointing and tracking of more than 42,000 object in the sky! This means less time spent finding a faint nebula or a distant planet and more time to enjoy observing. Astronomy has never been so easy!
The Maksutov-Cassegrain is a compact and powerful optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. The optical tube is closed by the front meniscus, keeping the mirrors protected from atmospheric agents such as humidity, dust and pollution. The tube is short but the focal length is long allowing high magnification with the standard eyepieces. With maximum practical magnification of 256x , 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.
The AZ-Go2 Mount – Wi-Fi-controllable with iOS and Android devices and compatible with the SynScan hand controller, offers smooth tracking and fast alignment. Use Wi-Fi to control the telescope wirelessly with your mobile device, either a smartphone or tablet.

QHY5III200M is a new generation of QHY5III V2 series planetary guide camera, using domestic CMOS, with excellent quality, and near-infrared high sensitivity similar to 5III462C. QHY5III200 is also the first mono CMOS planetary camera with near-infrared enhancement characteristics QHY developed. In addition, the 4um large picture elements make it easier to use for guiding.
The QHY5III (Ver. 2) series planetary and guiding cameras are all equipped with a 512MB DDR3 image buffer which can effectively reduce the pressure on computer transmission, a great help for planetary photography which often requires writing a large amount of data in a short period of time. Some deep-sky astrophotography cameras on the market today only have 256MB, for example.
Tips: It is recommended to use the official standard Type-C data cable of QHYCCD. As the market is flooded with a large number of poor-quality Type-C cables, casual use may lead to the camera malfunctioning. If you use your own spare cable, please make sure it is a high-quality cable.
The custom interfaces of the previous generation of planetary cameras and guiders has been replaced in the QHY5III (Ver.2) cameras with a more universal ST-4 compatible guiding interface. Now, even if the guiding cable is lost or damaged, you will be able to easily get a replacement on the market at a low cost.

High powered binocular viewing without the need for a tripod
New from FUJINON: High-magnification image-stabilized binoculars equipped with ED lenses, allowing for brighter and clearer observation of distant objects.
Higher magnification binoculars often need a tripod to avoid the hand movements and shakes while trying to hold them still. Taking a tripod into the field can be tricky, especially for bird watching in the distance or species identification where higher powers are needed.
FUJINON TECHNO-STABI Binoculars use latest image stabilising technology to provide steady, shake-free viewing without a tripod even in the harshest of conditions.
- Highest level of magnification in the "FUJINON TECHNO-STABI Series".
- Ideal for bird or nature viewing.
- The image stabilization system with a correction angle of ±3° also allows users to see athletes and performers' faces clearly during sports events or music concerts in large venues.
- These binoculars feature ED lenses (extra-low dispersion glass) to reduce axial chromatic aberration for long distance subject observation.

Farpoint Bahtinov Mask- 5.5 Inch to 8.5 Inch Telescopes is an ingenious new way to easily focus a telescope. Pavel Bahtinov, a Russian amateur telescope maker and astronomer, created this simple, very intuitive method and the device has universally been named after him: The Bahtinov Mask.
Adjustable Bahtinov focus mask for telescopes with dew shield or front end diameter from 5.5" to 8.5".
Attach a camera to the telescope, center a fairly bright star and achieve rough focus. Then place the mask over the front aperture of your telescope by “hanging” it on the plastic screws from the front dew shield. Take a short exposure. The image of the star will show diffraction spikes. The “center” set will most likely be shifted to one side or the other. This is showing the defocus.
Adjust the focus of the telescope and re-expose the star, once again showing the diffraction spike pattern. Iterate the process until the central diffraction spike is centered against the star and the other spikes. When a symmetrical pattern is achieved, the best possible focus is then reached. Simply remove the mask, center the target object and take amazing, sharp images!

- Fully Multicoated Optics
- Nitrogen-Filled, Water and Fogproof
- Reinforced Polycarbonate Housing
- Center Focusing
- Tripod Mountable
- Twist-Up Eyecups
Designed for the nature enthusiast who wants to pack light without sacrificing image quality, the Pentax 10x25 A-Series AD WP Compact Binocular delivers bright, clear images while weighing in at around 300g.. Their BAK4 roof prisms are phase corrected to improve image contrast and enhance colour rendition. All of the optics are anti-reflection and fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission, producing the brightest views possible.
An asymmetrical hinge design enables the binocular to be folded up much smaller than typical center-hinged optics. In order to cut weight, the housing is made of corrosion- and impact-resistant fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate polymer. The material is also temperature resistant, allowing for its use in extreme climates while reducing expansion and contraction that wide temperature swings can cause (and which can make the optical components move out of collimation over time).

The Astronomik ProPlanet 642 BP is the lastest addition to the family of Astromik ProPlanet IR-pass filters. The filter thrills because of it´s wide range of applikations for daylight IR-Photography, high-resolution lunar and planetary imaging and for taking beautifull and deep images of H-alpha regions when used for Astrophotography.
What does BP stand for ?
"BP" are short for "Bandpass": The filter gives you a 200nm spectral window from 642nm to 842nm. Contrary to the other two ProPlanet filters it blocks the longer infrared. Together with the Astronmik ProPlanet 742 and the ProPlanet 807 you can now have three choices to match your needs when imaging in the IR. The Astronomik ProPlanet 642 BP will be the right choice for the best image quite often!
The Astronomik ProPlanet 642 BP will give you three filters in one single product! Depending on your camera, the Astronomik ProPlanet 642 BP is a great tool either for daylight IR-imaging with your digital camera, or it will reduce seeing effects and enhance contrast when used for lunar- and planetary imaging, and third it will be a very good and low-priced H-alpha Filter for getting started in Deep-Sky Astrophotography of H-alpha regions.
Due to our skillfull developement with lot´s of tests we reached the goal to give you a filter which will do a perfect job to deliver amazing images.
Daylight IR-imaging:
- contrasty images with a great rendition of colors
- Clear "Wood-Effect" images
- Not Hot-Spot from longer IR!
- Short exposure times, about the same as normal VIS-imaging
- perfect choice for Infrared-Videos
High-resolution Lunar and planetary imaging:
- short Exposure times
- effective reduction of Seeing
- enhanced contrast
- no ghosts and best sharpness due to blocking the longer IR
Deep-Sky Astrophotography of HII regions:
- best transmission of the H-alpha line at 656nm
- about 40nm FWHM with astro-modified DSLRs
- amazing contrast under lightpolluted skies or moonlight
- low priced filter for getting started in H-alpha imaging
- easy focussing using camera display plus LiveView!
Guiding for Astrophotography:
- installing the 642BP in front of your autoguider-camera dramatically improves guiding quality, as image-motion from one frame to the next is minimized.
Technical Data
- more then 96% transmission for wavelengths of 642nm to 840nm
- blocking of wavelengths between 350nm and 630nm
- Parfocal with other Astronomik filters
- Glass thickness: 1mm
- Completely resistant against high humidity, scratches and aging effects
- Diffraction limited, the filter will not reduce the optical performance of your telescope!
- Astronomik filters are delivered in a high-quality, long lasting, filter box
- Since 2008 we do ship filters with a completely new design. Any kind of halo or strange reflection is a matter of past
From $120.00
Astronomik now offers you a range of three different UV+IR blockers as Luminance filters. The different spectral window of each new Luminance filters is designed to tune your setup to get the sharpest image from any optical design and any camera.
The Luminance channel is probably the most important for a great final image! You want as much signal as possible so the filter should have the highest transmission possible with a wide spectral bandpass. This combination provides the greatest sensitivity and gives you the highest photon counts on your pixels. While the high transmission level is a great aspect of the new Astronomik Luminance filters, not all optical instruments or additional optical elements like correctors, field-flatteners or reducers, have perfect colour correction so it can be the width of the spectral band pass of the Luminance filter that can cause problems. A band pass that is too wide will allow the transmission of incompletely focused light (Chromatic aberration), making stars appear soft or bloated. In such cases image processing can become difficult, so having a slightly narrowed spectral window in your Luminance filter can reduce or eliminate this damaging effect.
To give you all the tools to gather the best data possible we have expanded our line of Luminance filters: Now you can select a Luminance filter perfectly matched to the kind of telescope you use, to get the highest signal and sharpest image for the Luminance channel!
Depending on the color correction of your scope you may use a wider spectral window for the Luminance data. The L1 filter has the widest spectral window, the L2 is about the same as our current L-Filter and the L3 is much narrower.
If you use an optical system that is completely free of any chromatic aberration you should get an L1 filter for your setup. For general use the L2 filter is well suited to most optical systems with a corrector, flattener or reducer in the optical train while the L3 filter is designed for users of refractors with a less-than-perfect color correction and in combination with the new Deep-Sky RGB filters, the L3 filter will minimise the problem of bluish halos around stars.
The transmission curve characteristics and coatings on the new Luminance filters have been designed and engineered in such a way that no halos or reflections will be visible. Even with bright stars in the field of view you will be able to reveal the faintest structures in nebulas or galaxies.
Like all Astronomik Filters, the new Luminance filters are made using an extremely durable and scratch resistant coating, deposited on the finest polished optical substrate, which is free of any striae or internal strains. All substrates are made to exactly the same thickness, so all of our filters are parfocal.
Additional note for observers working under light polluted skies:
If your observing site suffers from light pollution you should try to use our CLS-CCD as a replacement for the Luminance filter. The transmission curve of the CLS-CCD will give you approximately the same amount of energy in all three colour channels while blocking nearly all unwanted artifical light pollution. Customers who replaced the Lx filter with the CLS-CCD are amazed by the increased quality of their data. This small change gives you the opportunity to take much deeper images from your current observing site.

Continuing with adapters that allow you to use your existing camera lenses with ZWO cameras, comes this EOS lens adapter that is specially designed to connect EOS lens with ZWO 2” EFW.
Get the benefit of the wide angled lenses from your EOS camera and LRGB filters and even Narrowband filters. A whole new world of imaging opens up to you.
The thread of the interface is M54*0.75, so it is not suitable for 1.25”/31mm/36mm EFW.
Note: The sensor tilt adapter needs to be removed before you mount the camera with the 2” EFW.

TMB PlanetView Planetary Eyepieces:
The TMB PlanetView Planetary Eyepiece series is designed for high-magnification planetary and lunar observing, delivering sharp, high-contrast views with excellent eye comfort. Choosing the right focal length for your telescope typically provides a significant upgrade in magnification and fine detail compared to the stock eyepieces supplied with most telescopes, making planetary features clearer and easier to observe. Featuring a 5-element optical design and a wide 58° apparent field of view, these eyepieces offer a more immersive experience than traditional narrow-field planetary designs while maintaining the crisp detail needed for serious observing.
Fully multi-coated optics and internal baffling maximise light transmission and suppress stray reflections, improving contrast on subtle planetary features and fine lunar detail. The large eye lens and generous eye relief make these eyepieces comfortable to use, especially during long observing sessions or when wearing glasses.
Built with an all-metal housing and a fold-down rubber eyecup, TMB PlanetView eyepieces are robust, practical, and compatible with all standard 1.25" focusers and filters. They are also Bintel’s number one recommended first upgrade for most telescopes, offering one of the simplest and most noticeable improvements you can make to planetary and lunar performance.
The 8mm TMB PlanetView:
The TMB PlanetView 8mm Planetary Eyepiece offers a comfortable balance between magnification and image stability for high-power observing.
