Description

Traditionally, standard colored filters have been used to bring out detail on the planet's surface. The main drawback is the artificial color imposed on all planetary features. Bandmate Mars Type-B Filters The Bandmate Mars Type-B filter is a high efficiency, single band dielectric coating that achieves penetrating views of the Martian surface. The surface appearance is similar to that of the popular #21 filter. However, the Type-B features a broadband anti-reflection coating on one side and filter coating on the other that makes it far more efficient.

Features

• Optical grade BK7 glass to insure no image degradation due to the substrate.
• Ion beam deposition of the coatings produces hard, stable coatings to reduce changes due to temperature and humidity.
• Dielectric filter for high transmission and blocking of unwanted wavelengths provide high contrast images.
• Aluminum filter cells precision machined and engraved.

Description

Tele Vue offers two contrast enhancing filters specifically designed for viewing Mars, but also quite useful on Jupiter. Why two filters? Traditionally, standard colored filters have been used to bring out detail on the planet’s surface. The main drawback is the artificial color imposed on all planetary features. Bandmate™ Mars Type-A FiltersWe all know you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but the Bandmate™ Mars Type-A filter lets you at least have a good taste! The Type-A is a dual band filter with different dielectric coatings on each side of the substrate. The dual band nature of the filter permits green and red through while rejecting all other visible colors. The effect is to enhance detail on the Martian surface while preserving the natural color of the polar caps and rest of the surface. Since this filter provides a most natural view, it is highly recommended for public viewing. Features of Tele Vue Bandmate™ Filters Optical grade BK7 glass to insure no image degradation due to the substrate. Ion beam deposition of the coatings produces hard, stable coatings to reduce changes due to temperature and humidity. Dielectric filter for high transmission and blocking of unwanted wavelengths provide high contrast images. Aluminum filter cells precision machined and laser etched.

Description

With the Galileo G-102MD catadioptric reflector telescope, you can scan the skies without looking away from your eyepiece, thanks to a hand box control center. Whether you're photographing a comet or watching a shadow transit of one or more of Jupiter's moons, the G-102MD will deliver the performance you need. The large 102mm primary mirror accepts 28 percent more light for brighter and more visible sky viewing. Catadioptric telescopes have a lens built into the focus housing that extends the focal length of the telescope without having extra long tube. The result is half the telescope with twice the ability. The smaller tube length also helps to have less adjustments be made to the scope when being used by people of different heights. The Galileo Color Filter Wheel comes standard with the G102MD. The nebula and planetary filters further enhance the users ability to study astronomical objects. It's backed by a one-year warranty, and it comes with the following items: 102mm primary mirror 1100mm focal length 1.25-inch Helical R and P focuser Color filter wheel with 2 filters, nebula and planetary 2 eyepieces (6.8mm-16mm zoom and 20mm) 3x Barlow Mars-eye electronic finder Fully pre-assembled tripod Adjustable tube clamp Secondary and primary mirror cells Accessory tray Galileo trilogy software (Planetarium CD-ROM with instructional video and Britannica Touch the Sky)

Galileo G-102MD Electronic Catadioptric Telescope is half the telescope with twice the ability. In some cases, shorter is better. This is one of them. The catadioptric feature has a correcting lens built into the optical tube that extends the focal length without the need for an extra-long tube. Another plus... it's mounted on a fully motorized dual axis German equatorial mount. Hey, if it can run on it's own power, it's got my vote. Frees me up to put my energy elsewhere. Plus, the dual axis control center hand box lets you scan the skies without looking away from the eyepiece. You can stay focused on the cosmos without distraction. And that's not all: 102 mm primary mirror; 1100 mm focal length; Heavy-duty 1.25" Helical R&P focuser; Color filter wheel with 2 filters (nebula and planetary); 2 eyepieces (6.8 mm-16 mm zoom & 20 mm); 3x barlow; Mars-eye electronic finder; Fully pre-assembled tripod; Adjustable tube clamp; Heavy-duty secondary and primary mirror cells; Measures 16 x 11 x 42 3/4", weighs 51 lbs.

Cartwheel galaxy, multi-wavelength image. Around 100 million years ago, a smaller galaxy passed directly through the centre of the Cartwheel galaxy. This caused shock waves to propagate out through the galaxy, which caused bursts of star formation. The bright blue ring marks the region where huge, powerful ultraviolet-emitting stars have formed. The inner orange ring is the second wave, but this has far less star formation than the first

Marvel at the wonders of the universe with this collection of outer space imagery from the Hubble telescope, accompanied by a celestial score. 60 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital stereo, French Dolby Digital stereo, German Dolby Digital stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 music track, Dolby DTS music track; Subtitles: English, French, German, Spanish; DVD-ROM content; more.

It looks like all that money NASA spent on the Hubble Space Telescope was worth it after all--at least from an aesthetic standpoint. Stargaze: Hubble's View of the Universe captivates the viewer with stunningly high-definition color images of galaxies, nebulae, and heavenly bodies closer to home. Each shot pans and lingers over the richly colored pictures as unobtrusive narration in English, French, German, or Spanish explains the history of the Hubble mission, its targets, and what we've learned so far. The music by 2002 is harmless and quiet, though viewers pathologically averse to New Age will scramble for the audio control. Including screensavers and Web features, Stargaze will keep spaceheads happy and entranced for hours, and convert the unbelievers. --Rob Lightner

Description

Celestron and ;s SkyMaster Series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use - especially over long distances. Each SkyMaster model features high quality BAK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. The 15x70 version is one of the most popular models in the series. It offers serious large aperture light gathering in an affordable and reasonably lightweight configuration.

Binoculars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes these days, and an even wider range of prices. It's easy to spend less than $100 or more than $500 for what may appear to be, at least outwardly, comparable models. While they may look the same, they are probably quite different on the inside. Recently, the binocular market has seen a flood of giant binoculars at prices that were unheard of just a few years ago. In general, giant binoculars are defined as those that magnify the view 10 times or more and have 70-mm or larger front (objective) lenses. It used to be that the least expensive giant binoculars cost in excess of $150, even $200. All that changed not long ago, when the bottom fell out of the price cellar. Now, several companies import giant binoculars that sell for half that, or less. Celestron's 15x70 SkyMaster binoculars are one of the leaders in the low-price giant binocular arena. They certainly sound good on paper. The SkyMasters include multicoated optics and BaK-4 internal prisms, two features that promise brighter, better images, and key points to look for when judging a pair of binoculars. They also come with an adapter for attaching them to a photo tripod, which is a must to use them to their fullest, and a soft carrying case. But just because they are cheap doesn't always mean they are worth the price. Would it be better to save up for a more expensive pair? To find the answer, I had an opportunity recently to judge the SkyMasters against a pair of Fujinon 16x70 FMT-SX binoculars , one of the finest pairs of giant binoculars sold today. Like the SkyMasters, the Fujinons feature BaK-4 prisms, but also have fully multicoated optics. As a general rule, superior coatings mean superior image sharpness and contrast. But then, that should be expected, given that the Fujinons cost many times more than the Celestrons. While the Fujinons were clearly the better performer, the Celestron SkyMasters held up admirably. Image brightness, quality, and contrast were all remarkable considering their bargain price. Although images were a little soft across the outer 25% of the Celestron's field, the overall view was impressive nonetheless. Some inexpensive binoculars have very sloppy focusing, causing the eyepieces to tilt and shift. Not so with the SkyMasters. I found that their center-focusing mechanism worked smoothly, with no apparently backlash or wobble. Eye relief (the distance you hold your eyes away from the eyepieces to see the full field) is stated to be 18 mm, a good distance for higher power binoculars and an important consideration if you must wear glasses when viewing. The SkyMasters are also light enough to support by hand for short periods of time, although buyers would be well advised to mount them on a sturdy photo tripod. The bottom line is, if you are considering a pair of giant binoculars, whether for bird watching, stargazing, or another recreational use, and have a limited budget, Celestron's giant 15x70 SkyMasters represent an excellent value. --Phil Harrington, author of Star Ware and Star Watch Pros: Exceptional value for the price Light enough to support by hand BaK-4 prisms Multicoated optics Cons: Outer 25% of the field is soft and a little blurry Requires a tripod to use for extended periods

Amazon.com Review Celestron's Nexstar 8 SE telescope combines excellent optics and computerized "GoTo" tracking in a package that's light, portable and affordable. The legendary performance of Celestron's orange tube C8 telescope has been updated with high performance Starbright XLT coatings, and the single arm Nexstar mount now includes Celestron's easy to use "SkyAlign" technology. Jupiter as seen through the Celestron NexStar 8SE special-edition computerized telescope. The Nexstar 8 SE upholds Celestron's reputation for quality optics. When I use an 11mm Plossl eyepiece (almost 200x magnification) for example, I can easily see the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings. When I look at Jupiter, the pale orange color of Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot is visible, and I've even been able to identify the polar caps and spot dust storms on the planet Mars. A 20mm Plossl eyepiece (about 100x magnification) is a good choice for viewing galaxies and star clusters. When I look at globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules the high contrast XLT optics show me a glowing snowflake made of hundreds of tiny pin-point stars! And a low power 32mm Plossl eyepiece is a good choice for views of larger deep space highlights like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Orion Nebula. The moon seen through the Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope.(See larger image.) Celestron's patented "SkyAlign" system makes the Nexstar 8 SE very easy to use. I just pick the nearest town from the built-in list, enter the date and time, and point the telescope at three bright stars. I don't need a star chart because "SkyAlign" identifies the stars for me. When I just want a quick look at the moon or a planet, I like to use the "Solar System Align" option. After entering the date and time, I just point the telescope at the moon and press the "Align" key. That's all it takes, the computer takes over and the telescope begins tracking quietly and accurately. At star parties I often have my Nexstar up and running while older computerized telescopes are still waiting for their alignment stars to appear in the twilight. The Nexstar 8 SE comes with a simple red-dot finder scope and a basic 25mm eyepiece. You'll want to add a few good eyepieces to take full advantage of the Nexstar 8 SE's excellent optics. At the very least get Celestron's bargain priced Accessory Kit which includes high and low power plossl eyepieces, or treat yourself to some top rated Tele Vue eyepieces. At twenty-four pounds total weight, the Nexstar 8 SE is unusually light and portable for an eight-inch telescope. The drawback of course is that some people will find it too light. Like other Schmidt Cassegrain (SCT) telescopes there are plenty of optional accessories to upgrade this telescope with, such as heavy duty tripods and an optical finder scope. If you want to try astro-photography, however, check out Celestron's CPC 800 Telescope which features a heavy duty mount and tripod and an 8x50 optical finder scope right out of the box. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Excellent optics Easy computerized GoTo tracking Light, portable and affordable Cons: Plastic accessories Short battery life Too light for astro-photography

Celestron Omni XLT 127mm Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope 11084

The Omni XLT 127 is the latest version of Celestron's popular 5-inch Schmidt Cassegrain telescope, the Celestron C5. Over the years the C5 has earned an excellent reputation because of its portable size, powerful optics, and wonderful versatility. The Omni XLT 127 is packaged with Celestron's upgraded CG-4 equatorial mount. A nice quality 6x30 finder scope, a star diagonal, and a multicoated 25mm eyepiece are included. Also included are a good instruction manual and an introductory version of Software Bisque's "The Sky" astronomy software. I've owned a C5 for several years and I've been consistently pleased with its optical quality. When the night air is still and clear I can see the Cassini division in Saturn's rings and pick out cloud bands on Saturn itself. I've been able to watch the shadow of Jupiter's moons glide across the planet's cloud tops and sometimes I can actually see one of the moons passing in front of Jupiter. Deep space objects like galaxies and star clusters are fun to observe as well. When I look at bright globular clusters like M13 in the constellation Hercules, I can pick out a number of individual stars. Bright galaxies also begin to reveal their structure; the Sombrero galaxy M104 looks like a spindle flattened on one side, and the Whirlpool galaxy M51 seems to be interacting with its companion galaxy NGC 5195. The new CG-4 equatorial mount and tripod form a solid base for the Omni XLT 127. The tripod with its 1.75-inch diameter stainless steel legs comes pre-assembled, and the equatorial head attaches easily without tools. I especially like the new dovetail mounting plate because it allows the optical tube to be quickly removed for transport or when I want to use the Omni XLT 127 as a spotting scope. A few accessories help bring out the versatility of the Omni 127. Celestron's Nine-Piece Accessory Kit includes two plossl eyepieces and a Barlow lens. The 32mm eyepiece produces a magnification of 40x, ideal for viewing star clusters or when using the Omni 127 as a spotting scope. The 12.5mm eyepiece magnifies the image 100 times, just right for viewing globular clusters or the planet Jupiter and its moons. The 2x Barlow can be combined with the 12.5mm eyepiece to zoom in on Saturn's rings at 200x. The other useful accessory is Celestron's 93522 Dual Axis Motor Drive. With the motors installed I was able to use my Celestron NexImage camera to taken some beautiful pictures of the moon and planets. The SCT design puts the optical power of a fifty-inch-long telescope in a twelve-inch-long tube, but the design has some minor drawbacks. The corrector plate at the front of the telescope is vulnerable to collecting dew on a cool evening, but this can been overcome by adding a dew shield. The other drawback is the large secondary mirror that causes some loss of contrast compared to refractor designs. Portable, powerful, and versatile; whether it's a first telescope or a portable second scope Celestron's Omni XLT 127 is a great choice for the backyard astronomer. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Portable, powerful, and versatile Excellent optics Sharp views up to 300x magnification Quick no-tool setup Also useful as a spotting scope Cons: Motor not included SCT design causes some loss of contrast Suggested accessories: 93522 Dual Axis Motor Drive Celestron Nine-Piece Accessory Kit Celestron NexImage Solar System Imager

Choosing and Using the New CAT will supersede the author’s successful Choosing and Using a Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope, which has enjoyed enthusiastic support from the amateur astronomy community for the past seven years. Since the first book was published, a lot has changed in the technology of amateur astronomy. The sophistication and variety of the telescopes available to amateurs has increased dramatically. Computerized SCTs, Maksutov-Cassegrains, and most recently Meade’s new and acclaimed Ritchey-Chrétiens have come to dominate the market. That means that all amateurs considering the purchase of a new telescope (not only a SCT, and not just beginners) will benefit from this detailed guide. Choosing the right telescope for particular kinds of observation (or even for general work) is far from easy – but Rod Mollise gives invaluable advice and guidance.

Celestron’s C5 Spotting Scope features excellent optics and wonderful versatility in a compact portable size. Although the C5 is best known as a portable telescope for astronomy, Celestron has outfitted the C5 Spotter for daytime use by packaging the C5 with a soft-sided carrying case, an erect image 6x30 finder scope, a correct image 45 degree diagonal prism, and a good quality 25mm plossl eyepiece for a magnification of 50X. The C5 Spotting Scope is a Schmidt-Cassegrain optical telescope or SCT, and is designed to use many of the hundreds of accessories available in the SCT market including optional eyepieces and camera adapters. A nice option for the C5 spotter is Celestron’s 8 to 24mm Zoom Eyepiece , which allows the user to dial in any magnification from 52X all the way up to 156X. The most important accessory for a high power scope is a sturdy tripod. Celestron’s Heavy Duty Alt-Azimuth Tripod is sturdy enough to handle the C5’s six pound weight and features extended slow motion knobs that make it easier to point the C5 precisely. The C5 is my favorite dual purpose telescope, useful as both a high power spotting scope and as a portable telescope for astronomy. The same fine optics are available in Celestron’s NexStar 5 SE computerized telescope for astronomy. The big advantage of the C5 over traditional refractor style spotting scopes comes from its higher magnification and greater resolving power, at least 50% better resolving power than the best 80mm spotting scopes. The disadvantage, of course, is that a higher magnification gives a narrower field of view. An optional 32mm Plossl eyepiece for example would magnify the image by 39X with about 1.25 degrees true field of view. The high power optical performance of Celestron’s C5 Spotting Scope is nothing short of outstanding. Even at 200X magnification there’s no trace of the “chromatic aberration” or blue fringing commonly seen in refractor style spotting scopes. With a close focus distance of only 20 feet, the C5 spotting scope excels at everything from photographing hummingbirds in the back yard to viewing the rings of Saturn nearly a billion miles away. --Jeff Phillips Hummingbird shot at 30 yards with C5 and Powershot camera Finches shot at 20 yards with C5 and Powershot camera Shot at 200X with C5 and Neximage camera Shot at 50X with C5 and Powershot camera Shot at 400X with C5 and Neximage camera Pros: Dual uses, spotting and astronomy Excellent high power optics No trace of “blue fringing” Cons: Narrow field of view Less rugged than refractors

Celestron's C5 Spotting Scope is a 5 (127mm) aperture, 1250 mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system. Its optical excellence is the reason it was chosen by NASA for many space shuttle missions. The C5 spotting scope is an ideal choice for the serious bird watcher, nature lover or anyone who enjoys beautiful views -either from your home or in the field. At just six pounds in weight and 11 inches in length, this spotting scope is a completely portable visual and photographic instrument that performs well in any viewing location. Further, Celestron offers a wide variety of optional accessories to expand the capabilities of this special instrument. The C5's aperture of 5 allows it to easily outperform smaller aperture spotting scopes. Offering 4 1/2 times more light gathering ability than a 60 mm spotting scope and 2 1/2 times more than an 80 mm scope, Celestron's C5 is the clear choice when a powerful instrument delivering brilliant, crisp views is what you require. The C5 spotting scope is a wonderfully versatile instrument, and its near focus of approximately 20 feet allows you to observe plant life, wildlife, birds or insects with ease. At the same time, the C5 can also be used as an astronomical telescope. In addition, the C5 goes easily from working as a powerful spotting scope to being a high performance 1250 mm f/10 telephoto lens. Photography couldn't be easier, because the C5 is designed to be fully camera adaptable. To take professional quality shots with the C5, just attach the correct optional T- Adapter and T-Ring for your 35 mm SLR camera to the back of the C5 spotting scope, and you're ready to shoot. The tripod adapter block on the C5's tube makes easy work of mounting the instrument onto a tripod for either viewing or photography. The C5 comes complete inside its own soft sided carrying case.
