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.

The Lunt Solar Systems Pressure Tuner Controller, or PC-USB, is a microprocessor controlled, remote operable* , pressure control system that can be retrofitted to any Lunt PT product without return to the Lunt facility. A simple 1/8″ airline connects the PC-USB to the Solar Telescope and can be installed at any length.

The PC-USB is a simple 2 button system. One button for increasing and one button for decreasing the PT pressure. Digital feedback and indicator lights are provided.

The PC-USB can run continuously on internal battery power for more than 12 hours. It has external power input (12-15 VDC) (120/240 VAC to 12 V adapter) that can power the unit and charge the internal batteries simultaneously.

All existing PT systems can be retrofitted via an adapter to the pressure tuner knob. Or, future PT units can be specified with a quick disconnect at the PT input, removing the PT knob from the telescope altogether.

Upon power up the PC-USB will go thru a systems vent and ambient pressure set mode. It can be factory or user programmed to center wavelength setpoint. Due to the sealed nature of the system, the center wavelength setpoint will remain constant at any altitude at a given set pressure point.

The Pressure Tuner Controller is accurate to 0.3 PSI, providing very precise control of the pressure setpoint. It will auto-compensate for fluctuations in internal pressure changes due to significant changes in temperature. Because the PC-USB can provide closed-loop feedback of internal etalon pressure, users can correlate change in pressure to doppler shifted events.

Space Shuttle: A Photographic Journey is a captivating visual celebration of NASA’s pioneering spacecraft and is one the most well stunning books to arrive at BINTEL in a long time.

Commemorating 30 years of space shuttle exploration, this beautifully crafted photography book, now in a revised format, curates the finest NASA space shuttle images into one inspirational collection.

Arranged in thematic chapters ranging from the following:
• Launch Pad
• Lift-Off
• In Space
• Landings

From the launch pad through to the launch sequence, to the missions themselves and the dramatic conclusion of the return flight and landing, this is a fascinating photographic history of the world's first reusable spacecraft. Space Shuttle: A Photographic Journey pays tribute to the five pioneering orbiters built by NASA: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour. It was developed by author Luke Wesley Price through an exhaustive study of the NASA archives and painstaking post-production processing of images to enhance their visual impact, all guided by correspondence with inspirational shuttle pilots such as the late Bruce McCandless.

The book tells the story of the space shuttle through extraordinary moments in a selection of NASA's 135 shuttle missions. Beautifully reproduced photographs capture the drama and danger of the hazardous launch sequences and vividly depict the techniques and challenges of mission tasks, including space walks, in-flight maintenance work and docking with the International Space Station. The book also collates the details of every space shuttle mission flown, including launch dates and lists of crew, alongside a gallery of the 135 exquisitely designed mission patches.

Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in human space exploration.

AUTHORS:
Luke Wesley Price is a British graphic designer of over 20 years’ experience in branding, advertising and imagery, who founded his own design agency in 2008. He has had a lifelong interest in America’s space history, from Project Mercury through to Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and beyond. As a child growing up in the 1980s, the space shuttle program was always the highlight and central thread of this passion, and in his research for this book he fulfilled the ambition of corresponding regularly with the shuttle pilots who had been his heroes. When not working in the world of design, Luke travels the world as a bass guitarist in bands including his own musical project RenattaJane. Luke lives in Essex.

Christopher J. Ferguson is a former NASA astronaut who was commander of the Space Shuttle Atlantis for flight STS-135, the final mission of the Space Shuttle program. Previously, on his first space mission (STS-115) in September 2006, he had been the pilot of Atlantis, and he commanded STS-126 aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2008. He retired from NASA in 2011 and is now director of Crew and Mission Operations for Boeing’s Commercial Crew Program.

The ZWO FF65 APO is a refractive astrograph with a powerful flatfield optical design which saves you from the expensive cost of a field flattener. It eliminates the trouble of calculating the back focus distance of the flattener and connecting various accessories to achieve that distance. You can just connect any possible accessories you need. As long as the target is focused, the whole optical system is perfect for imaging. This makes the whole setting up process much more convenient, and saves you time, allowing you to pay more attention to the image shooting itself.

The ZWO FF65 APO is also a nice choice for your visual observation. It fits diagonals as well as various eyepieces and can achieve a perfect focus, and can even be used to observe planets with a super-high magnification eyepiece.

The whole design of the telescope is compact and lightweight. The OTA weighs only 2kg, and the full package with tube rings and other accessories weighs 2.8kg. It has an aperture of 65mm. The focal ratio is f/6.4 and the focal length is 416mm. Instead of the quadruplet structure of the other ZWO FF APO Refractors, the FF65 APO is a quintuplet, with two ed Glass elements that offer excellent control of Chromatic and other aberrations.

The ZWO FF65 APO supports the full-frame imaging circle and has a fine spot diagram with tiny distortions of the peripheral stars.

Benefits of Strainwave Designs
The Sky-Watcher 100i is a strain wave design, commonly referred to as a harmonic drive. These types of mount mechanics come packed with a number of advantages for astrophotography, including very accurate precision tracking which is ideal for longer exposure imaging, zero backlash and smoother motion for stable tracking, compact designs for easier transport and a relatively high payload to weight ratio to accommodate a much wider range of equipment.

10kg Payload Capacity
The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i weighs only 4.3kg, yet it can handle a payload capacity of 10kg without counterweights and up to 15kg with a counterweight.

Tripod

There's a number of tripod options for the Sky-Watcher Wave 100i mount. We highly recommend the Benro Fibre Mach3 Tripod - this $549 tripod is lightweight and very stable.

Transmission R>Tatio of 300:1 Ensures Smooth Slewing and Tracking
The Wave 100i has a transmission ratio of 300:1, resulting in a high level of tracking and slewing accuracy since motor torque and rotation is divided into smaller increments, lessening any impact of jolts between rotations that could be apparent the longer exposures become. The maximum slew rate of the 100i is 2400x (10° per second).

Works at any Latitude
The Sky-Watcher Wave 100i has a working latitude range of 0° to 90°, meaning it can be operated successfully at any latitude and doesn’t suffer from limitations on more traditional gear mounts with counterweight obstruction and zenith out of range.

Supports Multiple Tracking
The Wave 100i supports sidereal, lunar and solar tracking. This means it can be reliably used for night-time astrophotography, moon capture and stunning solar imaging!
