Galileo Gravitator w/ Amazing Floating Planets
List Price: |
DescriptionIt took 300 years and a trip to the moon to prove Galileos theory of gravity correct. Now, you can perform your own gravitational experiments and prove Galileo right, anytime you want in just a few fun and educational minutes. The object of your gravitational experiment is simple: to reach levitation and make your spheres float. Getting it to work will be your challenge. As you work with the Galileo Gravitator, youll learn to control the gravitational pull affecting your sphere. You will feel the pull grow stronger or weaker as you adjust your balance control knob until you finally achieve levitation! Designed to be fully functional, the Gravitator mimics the rotation of the moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn as they rotate around the sun and earth. Hours of fun for home, school or the office! Measures about 12"H x 10"W x 10"D. Features

Celestron 21045 114mm Equatorial PowerSeeker Telescope
List Price: |
DescriptionI love bargains, so I was eager to try out Celestron's new Powerseeker 114 Newtonian reflector telescope. With its 4.5-inch mirror, Celestron's Powerseeker 114 gathers three times more starlight than popular 60mm refractors. The Powerseeker package includes two eyepieces (K20 and SR4), a plastic 3x barlow, and a lightweight equatorial mount. Optically, the Powerseeker 114 holds its own when compared with my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ. Using the K20 eyepiece included as standard equipment, about 45x magnification, it's easy to see the Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller satellite galaxy M32. When compared to 60mm refractors, the Powerseeker 114 brings out much more detail in the Orion Nebula, reveals many more stars in Perseus' Double Cluster and even brings out a few individual stars in globular clusters like M13. Saturn looks quite small at 45x with the K20 eyepiece, but using my own 7.5mm eyepiece (120x) I can easily detect the shadow cast by the planet on the rings, and even glimpse the ring's Cassini Division. When the mirrors are properly lined up or "collimated," the images are reasonably sharp up to magnifications of 225x. I find a collimation tool helps get this fine tuning just right. As good as the optics are, however, the effect of cost-cutting shows up in the mechanical components. The focuser is plastic, the finder scope is plastic, the rings that attach the telescope to the tripod are plastic. Even when the tripod legs are clamped at their shortest setting, the telescope wobbles when I try to focus at higher magnifications. Celestron's instruction manual correctly recommends that most viewing be done in the range of 40x to 130x. So what about that 675x magnification proclaimed on the box? I'd say it's not worth the trouble. Overall, the Celestron Powerseeker 114 is a budget priced telescope with good optical performance, especially when using the low power K20 eyepiece. If you're willing to spend a little more money, either Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 or Celestron's Firstscope 114EQ will give you a sturdier mount, an improved finder scope, and better eyepieces. Also, for about the price of the Powerseeker 114, I like the dependable refractor design of Celestron's Firstscope 70EQ. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Low cost Good optics Serviceable K20 eyepiece Cons: Wobbly mount Difficult to collimate Plastic finder and focuser Celestron PowerSeeker 114EQ 45 - 225X Reflector Telescope opens up the wonders of the universe to the aspiring astronomer. Amateur astronomy is a great hobby you can enjoy year-round, and Celestron's PowerSeeker Telescopes are the ideal choice for affordable stargazing enjoyment! PowerSeeker Scopes are quick and easy to set up, even for the novice... no tools required! Their sturdy Equatorial mounts are perfect for tracking objects across the night sky, meaning these Telescopes shine for moon- and planet-watching. All Celestron PowerSeekers include a tripod, full range of eyepieces, plus a 3X barlow lens. Specs: 114 mm aperture size; Includes 20 mm eyepiece for 45X magnification, 4 mm eyepiece for 225X, and a 3X barlow lens that triples the magnification power of each eyepiece; Newtonian reflector optical design; Fully-coated glass optics with high-transmission coatings for enhanced brightness and clarity; Sturdy German Equatorial mount, perfect for tracking objects across the night sky; Erect image diagonal, ideal for terrestrial and astronomical viewing; Comes with The Sky X Planetarium software; Focal length: 900 mm; Limiting stellar magnitude: 12.8; Resolution (Rayleigh): 1.22 arcsec; Resolution (Dawes): 1.02 arcsec; Light-gathering power: 265X; Angular F.O.V. is 0.9 degrees.

Bushnell 5x20 Golf Scope Rangefinder (Silver)
|
DescriptionCompact and affordable, the Bushnell 5x20 golf rangefinder estimates the distance to the flag from 50 to 200 yards/meters, so you can always choose the right club for the situation. The rangefinder is a low-cost alternative to GPS rangefinders, yet still delivers the accuracy you've come to expect from Bushnell. Simply line up the base of the flag to the bottom line of the reticle, then read the numbers on the reticle that align with the top of the flagstick. It's an easy way to determine whether your 7-iron will reach the green safely, or whether you can clear the sand trap with your 5-wood. The focus-free monocular design also gives you a close-up view of the course, so you can see obstacles from a distance with crisp precision. Plus, the monocular fits easily in a pocket while you walk to the next shot. About Bushnell Bushnell has been the industry leader in high-performance sports optics for more than 50 years.
