Orion Three-Fan Cooling System for Convex-Back Dobsonians
Sale Price: $59.99  |
DescriptionThis time-saving cooling system features three fans which have been custom designed to fit the Orion XX14g GoTo Dobsonian primary mirror cell. All three small fans work in tandem to help reduce the amount of time needed for the telescope to reach thermal equilibrium with the ambient air temperature of your observing location. You'll enjoy peak performance from your XX14g GoTo Dobsonian without having to wait as long for the air inside the telescope to cool down to the same temperature as your stargazing site. Consisting of three 12-volt DC, 0.12A fans which are wired in parallel, the Orion Three-Fan Cooling System for Convex-Back Dobsonians features a single 35" long power cable splitter for convenient use. Each fan boasts 33.4 CFM (cubic foot per minute) air flow to help significantly accelerate cooling of your Dobsonian telescope's optics. The fans operate quietly without vibrating, and they mount easily in threaded holes on the the XX14g primary mirror cell with included hardware. For best results, run the Orion Three-Fan Cooling System prior to using the reflector telescope. You can also use the cooling fans intermittently between observations to compensate for any ambient temperature changes that may occur. Power is supplied using the included battery holder which accepts 8 D-cell batteries (batteries not included). Since the Three-Fan Cooling System current draw is a low 0.36 amps, a full battery holder with 8 D-cells will provide over 24 hours of use. Features

I can connect my telescope Bushnell Northstar to my PC?
The Bushnell Northstar Goto interface is an empty socket. Can this jack is used to connect to a PC to control the positioning of the telescope?
Could possibly a place to connect a power supply? Bushnell Telescopes are usually poor quality and not worth the trouble connecting to computers. The Northstar GOTO may be new to them. I did not realize that even offered GOTO. Maybe they are trying to regain the reputation it once had back in the early 70's. Maybe.

The Moon and planets of our solar system like Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars shine brightly in the SkyQuest XT8 Classic, allowing you to inspect them in detail. The XT8's 8-inch aperture is also large enough to gather a significant amount of light from more distant celestial objects for great views of sparkling star clusters, cloudy nebulas, and faraway galaxies. The XT8 Classic Dob is a tremendous value considering the high quality views it provides on such a wide variety of celestial objects. The point-and-view simplicity of the Dobsonian design is not as complicated as an equatorial (EQ) mount and tripod, so with a little practice, your whole family can scan the heavens just like experienced hobbyists. For any astronomer seeking serious adventure, the XT8 Classic Dob has it all! Features

Meade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope
List Price: |
DescriptionMeade 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope Meade's value priced NG-70SM Altazimuth Refractor is an affordable entry level telescope that features an easy to use Altazimuth mount with slow motion controls for precise tracking. The complete package includes a sturdy metal tripod, a red dot viewfinder, two 1.25 inch eyepieces and a star diagonal, and a software DVD with instructional video. The NG-70SM Refractor Telescope comes disassembled in a compact box, but the instructional DVD video guides you through all the steps required for assembly. Go ahead and try it out in the daytime, that's the best time to align the red-dot finder scope while looking at a distant tree or telephone pole. The optics of Meade's NG-70SM produce an image that is right side up but the diagonal mirror reverses the image left-to-right. That's no problem most of the time, but an optional correct image diagonal is available. The low power 25mm eyepiece produces a magnification 28X which is just right for spotting the Moon or the planets, while the 9mm eyepiece (78X magnification) can be used to zoom in for more detail. The MH25 eyepiece at 28X shows a lovely view of the Lunar disk in a dark sky, while the MH9 eyepiece at 78X shows literally hundreds of craters on the Moon and begins to show the rings of Saturn and the cloud bands of Jupiter. For even better views it's easy to add better eyepieces. My best view of Saturn, for example, came with an optional 6.4mm Super Plossl eyepiece, about 110X magnification. The Altazimuth mount included with Meade's NG-70SM is lighter and easier to use than an Equatorial mount, yet the slow motion knobs make it easy to keep objects in view. The rotation of the Earth causes the Moon or planets to appear to drift out of the eyepiece, but the slow motion knobs make it easy to keep the telescope on target, even with a high power eyepiece. The telescope is sensitive to vibration, however, so a high power eyepiece can be difficult to focus. Meade's NG-70SM is a good entry level telescope at a very good price. The optics are good, the Altazimuth mount is easy to assemble and easy to use, the instructional DVD includes a nice Lunar Atlas as well as planetarium software, and it's easy to add better eyepieces to improve your view of the planets. –Jeff Phillips Pros: Light and easy to use Altazimuth mount includes slow motion knobs Easy to add better eyepieces Instructional DVD included; Cons: MH eyepieces have narrow field of view Vibrates while focusing at high power MEADE 20218 NG-70SM 70mm Altazimuth Refractor Telescope Features

Go-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
List Price: |
DescriptionGo-To Telescopes Under Suburban Skies is the first book specifically written for amateur astronomers who own, or who are about to purchase, a computer-controlled âgo-toâ telescope. The advantage of the âgo-toâ capability is enormous â the telescope can be aimed at any object in the sky with great speed and accuracy â which is why these instruments are so popular. Making the realistic assumption that the observer is using a relatively small telescope and is observing from a backyard in a suburban area, this book provides literally hundreds more targets beyond those offered by the built-in ânightly toursâ that feature on the telescopeâs computer tours. And instead of wasting many pages on maps and coordinates, it leads the computer to locate the targets, and so has room to suggest many more fascinating deep-sky objects and provide detailed observing lists and information about what's being viewed. |
