The Celestron CPC telescope is an amazing instrument for visual and astrophotography use.  The Celestron CPC telescope is an Alt-Azimuth mounting style telescope.  Astrophotography is possible and done very well in Alt-Az mounted telescopes however most will tell you that an Equatorial mounted telescope is the right choice for serious astrophotography.  That's why we have combined the Celestron CPC telescope with the Celestron HD Pro Heavy Duty Wedge.      A wedge is a piece that mounts inbetween the Tripod and the Fork Mounted CPC telescope.  It changes the telescope to an Equatorial mounted telescope.  This allows you to polar align your telescope and will minimize the tracking that is done on a standard Fork Mounted Alt-Az CPC telescope.      The Celestron CPC Series Telescopes are fully computerized GPS enabled GoTo telescopes.  They feature Celestron's revolutionary SkyAlign technology (when used in Alt-Az mode without the wedge) and feature 40000 objects at the push of a button.     This Celestron telescope package is the best way to get started into Astrophotography with a Celestron CPC telescope. - Telelescopes

Meade 10 Inch LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope with UHTC     The most widely used research telescope on earth now comes with the most advanced optical system. Meade's LX200-ACF brings Advanced Coma-Free (ACF) optics within reach of aspiring astronomers everywhere. Nearly every observatory reflector in the world uses an aplanatic (coma-free) optical system like the Ritchey-Chrtien (RC) including NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Now you can own optics similar to what the professionals use. The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven features of the LX200 including GPS Primary Mirror Lock Oversized Primary Mirror SmartDrive Smart Mount AutoStar II and more. The new LX200-ACF:  It's the biggest news in astronomy since well the LX200.     The advanced in Advanced Coma-Free.A traditional Ritchey-Chrtien (RC) is a type of reflector that delivers a coma-free flat field of view via hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors. RC telescopes (from a variety of manufacturers) are found in most of the world's top observatories and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Because the mirrors in these telescopes have always been very expensive to make few amateur astronomers could enjoy them. Fortunately Meade engineers developed a radical new Advanced Coma Free design by combining a hyperbolic secondary mirror with a corrector-lens-and-spherical-primary-mirror combination that performs as one hyperbolic element. This ACF design produces a coma-free flat field of view that rivals traditional RC telescopes at a fraction of the cost. The design even eliminates diffraction spikes and improves astigmatism both of which are inherent in the traditional ACF design. When reviewing Meade's LX200-ACF Advanced Coma Free Sky and Telescope magazine said  It does indeed perform like a Ritchey-Chrtien.

Baader's newest addition for Achromat owners. The Semi-APO works like its name implies - delivering an amazingly neutral view while cutting most of the annoying and contrast-robbing violet fringe that plagues all achromats. The Semi-APO filter combines a stronger Fringe Killer coating formula with the Moon&Skyglow Neodymium substrate. The result is similar performance to the Fringe Killer + Moon&Skyglow combination but with a slightly stronger violet cut - and at an even greater $$ value.The Semi-APO filter benefits from all the host of world-class Baader filter attributes. The Semi-APO filter is truly the world's most advanced 'minus-violet' type filter in every regard. Its high efficiency and neutral coloration make it practically disappear in use - while making most of the violet fringe disappear! The effects on sharpness contrast and aesthetics are remarkable even with small refractors. The RGB enhancement of the Neodymium substrate actually boosts color contrasts particularly for Jupiter and Mars.     As a side benefit the Semi-APO filter has also proven to be the best Mars filter we've used - with ALL Telescopes including large Dobsonians SCTs and Apochromats. The unique properties that result from the combination of the Fringe Killer's blue wavelength attenuation (attenuation - not total elimination) plus the selective Neodymium RGB passbands result in a significant contrast enhancement of Martian features. The image retains its natural coloration and brightness and the optically polished surfaces maintain every bit of the image sharpness unlike other manufacturers' filters.     The high quality of Baader Planetarium filters permits their use well ahead of the focal plane with no image degradation (ie for cameras or binoviewers). The inclusion of Baader's renowned UV/IR Cut coatings on the Semi-APO eliminate UV and IR wavelengths to make it ideal for high-resolution imaging with Webcams DSLR and CCD cameras.

Baader's new Steeltrack Premium Focusers incorporate a number of innovative features that further enhance the smoothness and robustness of the Crayford focuser. Steetrack focusers are available to fit practically every telescope from Refractors to Newtonians and SCTs.     The precision ball bearings ride on hardened and polished stainless steel ways that are inset into the thick-walled aluminum drawtube. The large diameter pinion drive also rides on a precision laser cut hardened and polished steel way. This important feature delivers an ultra-smooth motion that is superior to to the rougher motions of an aluminum bearing system and guarantees that the buttery-smooth motions will remain that way over the life of the focuser. Crayford focusers that rely on machined and anodized aluminum bearing ways can become worn and pitted with use which results in loss of smoothness and accuracy.  The extra-large focusing knobs and Precision 1:10 reduction gearing permits ultra-fine motion control without backlash.  Precision Pinion Drive and Bearing Assembly delivers an exceedingly smooth slipless motion and avoids the drawtube flexure present in other crayford focusers.  Each Steeltrack incorporates a drawtube locking screw that supports even extremely heavy cameras and eyepieces without flexure or slippage. The knurled lock screw incorporates a swivelling anti-marring brass insert that allows firm clamping of the drawtube without marring or damage to the focusing mechanism.  Internal drawtube surfaces are knife-edge baffled to eliminate stray light reflections.  Bronze compression rings permit secure clamping of eyepieces and accessories without marring.  Baader Precision and Quality. All parts are precisely machined and their high surface quality make the Baader Steeltrack an attractive complement to any telescope.  Graduated markings on the drawtube aid in measuring and repeating focus positions.  A complete set of adapters and extensions permit adaptation onto practically a - Telelescopes

Freedom from Ghost images even when stacked.  Striae-free substrates are polished parallel to 30 seconds of to avoid wedge errors.  Finest 7-layer  hard multicoatings on both faces feature 0.25% residual reflections (Baader filters are unique no other colored filter incorporates anti-reflection multicoatings).  The coatings are also different for each of the filters in order to match the coating performance to the filter curve of each color.  This maximizes the transmission and minimizes reflections.     Extremely High Transmissions result in maximum contrast and isolation of planetary details even with smaller telescopes.  Efficiencies of the three longpass filters (Red Orange and Yellow) peaks at 98% and efficiencies of the three bandpass filters (Green Blue Dark Blue) achieve 70%.      Carefully designed spectral characteristics.  Filters may be stacked without image degradation or ghosting in order to provide even narrower passbands.  Or combine with any of the other Baader filters for interesting possibilities.     No reduction in sharpness even at high magnifications or when using the filter far ahead of the focal plane (ie digital imaging or in front of a diagonal or binoviewer). - Telelescopes

The Meade 8-inch Equatorial Wedge w/LX90 Adapter Plate will eliminate field-rotation effects when you're using your LX90 telescope for astrophotography.  You can do astrophotography with the LX90 scopes in the standard altazimuth mode but for longer exposure times an effect called field rotation becomes evident. Stars at the edge of the field will appear as small concentric arcs or streaks on the film rather than as star points. This effect which does not relate to the accuracy of the telescope's computer or internal alignment occurs on all altazimuth-mounted telescopes. It's simply a side effect of the altazimuth-type mount itself.   Preventing Field Rotation  To prevent field rotation your LX90 can be polar-aligned by using the wedge. A wedge allows you to align the telescope's axis of rotation with the Earth's rotational axis. This eliminates the effects of field rotation and gets the streaks out.This wedge also can be used with an 8-inch LX200 telescope if purchased with a different adapter plate. An alternative to using a wedge is employing the field de-rotater. The de-rotater allows you to stay in altazimuth mode and correct field rotation for longer-exposure astrophotography and CCD imaging. - Telelescopes

Baader 2 Herschel prism for non-compromised solar observation.  A new technology for light and heat absorption.  Includes 2 Solar Continuum filter.     The Baader Herschel prism's mode of operation     The sunlight enters the telescope unfiltered.  On the back side 4.6% of the light are deflected by 90 degrees.  The rest of the light is focused outside the Herschel prism.  This light's energy is very high and cannot be used for observation.     The Baader Cool Ceramic Safety Herschel Prism offers the best solution:     A special ceramic developed for space technology accepts the light energy without heating its environment so the prism housing can be kept closed and the risk of glare or fire is eliminated.     Easy positioning of the sun     A smart side effect of this ceramic screen is the possibility of centering the sun in the telescope easily.   Just place the sun spot in the middle of the ceramic screen and you can start observing     Both the Visual and the Photo version contain the same Herschel prism.  The difference lies in the different filter equipment.  The Visual model includes the 2 Neutral Density ND 3.0 and 2 Solar Continuum Filter.  The Photo version includes four 2 Neutral Density (ND0.6 / 0.9 / 1.8 / 3.0 and the 2 Solar Continuum Filter.     What kinds of telescopes can be used with the Herschel prism?     The Herschel prism is intended for frefractor telescopes without field flattener lenses on their back side.  The objective design (Doublet Triplet Air-Spaced etc.) is not important.  For all other kinds of telescopes we recommend a standard aperture covered solar filter. - Telelescopes

Tele Vue is known for its in-house eyepiece and telescope designs by Al Nagler; our latest eyepiece brings new meaning to the term in-house. The concept for this eyepiece was first proposed by Tele Vue President David Nagler with performance parameters giving it the fundamental characteristics (the ethos) of a Tele Vue eyepiece: high contrast comfortable eye relief and full field sharpness. Control of astigmatism field curvature lateral color angular magnification distortion correction and low pupil sensitivity for daytime use were specified criteria. Following Tele Vues philosophy of pushing the state of the art long-time Tele Vue employee and optical design protg Paul Dellechiaie took up the challenge and designed the basic eyepiece form. Under Als guidance Paul tweaked his design to fulfill the original goals. While sharpness is inherent to the optical design contrast is maximized through the intelligent use of flat finished baffles and ultra low reflectance high efficiency coatings tuned to the composition of each element. At the 2007 Northeast Astronomy Forum Tele Vue once again broadened the amateur astronomer's perspective on the universe and introduced a new observing experience; 100 of pure Tele Vue quality. With a 13mm focal length evoking the original Nagler revolution the field area of this new eyepiece is more than 50% larger than an 82 field. The Tele Vue Ethos is essentially multiple eyepieces delivering the true field size of a longer focal length narrower apparent field eyepiece with the benefits of higher power and darker sky background.The 21mm focal length completes the logical set of 21mm/13mm/8mm and nicely juxtaposes the 17mm/10mm/6mm combination. Each step within these two sets approaches a 3x field area gain. The 21mm's effective field stop diameter is 36.2mm bringing its true field close to the 35mm Panoptic (38.7mm Field Stop diameter). Its true field is also larger than - Telelescopes

For 30 years Tele Vue has pushed the boundaries of APO refractors as well as eyepieces to the recognized pinnacle of performance. We were gratified but not surprised that Backyard Astronomer's Guide said of the NP101: optics don't get any better than this. No wonder Sky and Telescope rated the NP101 tops and selected it as the test instrument for its landmark review of the SBIG STL11000 CCD camera .

Freedom from Ghost images even when stacked.  Striae-free substrates are polished parallel to 30 seconds of to avoid wedge errors.  Finest 7-layer  hard multicoatings on both faces feature 0.25% residual reflections (Baader filters are unique no other colored filter incorporates anti-reflection multicoatings).  The coatings are also different for each of the filters in order to match the coating performance to the filter curve of each color.  This maximizes the transmission and minimizes reflections.     Extremely High Transmissions result in maximum contrast and isolation of planetary details even with smaller telescopes.  Efficiencies of the three longpass filters (Red Orange and Yellow) peaks at 98% and efficiencies of the three bandpass filters (Green Blue Dark Blue) achieve 70%.      Carefully designed spectral characteristics.  Filters may be stacked without image degradation or ghosting in order to provide even narrower passbands.  Or combine with any of the other Baader filters for interesting possibilities.     No reduction in sharpness even at high magnifications or when using the filter far ahead of the focal plane (ie digital imaging or in front of a diagonal or binoviewer). - Telelescopes
