Terra Star 60mm Refracting Telescope with Carry Bag
List Price:  |
Description"The Meade NG-60 60mm refracting telescope is an excellent first telescope for the beginning astronomer or the casual observer of land or sky. Supplied complete with two eyepieces, a fine achromatic objective lens, a fully adjustable aluminum tripod, and the modern, highly functional Meade NG-series altazimuth mounting, the NG-60 easily surpasses commonly available, lower-quality introductory telescopes. The Meade NG-60 altazimuth refractor also makes an excellent land-view instrument for the birdwatcher, the naturalist, or the homeowner with a view. In conjunction with the single-arm mount are precision manual slow-motion controls on each axis, to permit smooth telescope motion. All of the major planets except Pluto are easily observable through the NG-60. Study Saturn and its ring system; the primary cloud belts of Jupiter as well as its four major satellites; the Moonlike phases of Mercury and Venus; prominent features on Mars; and the starlike images of the distant Uranus and Neptune. The Moon stands out in stark, almost three-dimensional detail: craters, mountain ranges, and fault lines. You'll be able to see hundreds of nebulae, star clusters, double and multiple stars, and variable stars in our galaxy, plus dozens of other galaxies as well. " Features

What Are Binocular Telescopes?
Are you wondering what are binocular telescopes? What benefit do they serve? Will they replace reflector telescopes or even refractors? Find out more about binocular telescopes in this article, and some information on how you would buy one. In this article, you will soon discover: * What are binocular telescopes? * What are the benefits of binocular telescopes? * Where can you buy binocular telescopes? * Some advice for binocular telescopes * What are binocular telescopes? Binocular telescopes are a recent backyard astronomy thing! They have become more popular as more people have been seeking to break through the boundaries of telescopes. A binocular telescope is exactly what it says it is. First you will find that it is a telescope! In most cases it is a refractor telescope, and in fact, it is 2 telescopes joined together! * What are the benefits of binocular telescopes? There are several benefits of binocular telescopes, however for the most part they are real luxuries, as it requires 2 telescopes! The main point of a telescope is its light gathering abilities, and the benefit of binocular telescopes is that in effect you get double if not more light gathering abilities! When you consider that both your eyes can get the same amount of light for each, something special happens. Users report that it creates like a stereo image, where objects don't look flat, but start to have a dimension such as appearing 3d. Another aspect is that some people have reported that they have seen slight color when viewing the planets. This could be because they have a large enough area of light gathering that is allows seeing the colors of the planets! * Where can you buy binocular telescopes? You won't find binocular telescopes everywhere. Finding a good reflector or refractor is hard enough finding, let alone binocular telescopes! However it is possible and there are options. There are some great manufacturers who are hobbyists that turned into making these big binocular telescopes for sale to others. They usually make to order, but you know you are getting something worthy and unique! * Some advice for binocular telescopes Finding a telescope store selling these jumbo telescopes is going to be hard to find. However, going online is a big option and one which can bring about several manufacturers. Another option is to build it yourself, and there are many options to building big binocular telescopes. The first obvious thing is that you will need 2 telescopes. Either refractors or reflectors. I suggest if you are going to build binocular telescopes yourself, then consider refractors as they are easier to work with. You will need to align them so they both meet your eyes and can be seen by both your eyes. The result can be immense, and can look amazing having a mammoth style binocular telescope in your backyard!

Tele Vue 2" Everbrite Mirror Star (90°) Diagonal with Brass Clamp Ring -Black Satin Finish
Sale Price: $284.95 |
DescriptionWhiter and brighter images. Simply put, that is the benefit the Everbrite mirror coating. This exotic, dielectric, nonmetallic coating is 99% reflective across the full visual spectrum, resulting in the "whitest," most natural image available. The coating is painstakingly applied to Pyrex with a surface accuracy of a 1/10 wave flatness. The Everbrite is offered in both 1¼" and 2" models. The diagonal bodies of each are machined from solid blocks of aluminum. In this way we can insure permanent alignment. The one piece body construction also assures heavy accessories can't force the diagonal body to "unscrew" from the barrel as with other brands. Both the 1¼" and 2" models feature brass clamp rings, anti-reflection threads and 1¼" and 48mm filter threads respectively. Features

Choosing and Using a Refracting Telescope (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
List Price: |
DescriptionChoosing and Using a Refracting Telescope has been written for the many amateur astronomers who already own, or are intending to purchase, a refracting telescope â perhaps to complement their existing arsenal of larger reflecting telescopes â or for the specialist who requires a particular refractor for serious astronomical applications or nature studies. Four hundred year ago, during the winter of 1609, a relatively unknown Italian scientist, Galileo Galilei designed a spyglass with two crude lenses and turned it skyward. Since then, refractors have retained their dominance over all types of reflector in studies of the Moon, planets and double stars because of the precision of their optics and lack of a central obstruction in the optical path, which causes diffraction effects in all commercially-made reflectors. Most mature amateur astronomers got started with a 60mm refractor, or something similar. Thirty years ago, there was little choice available to the hobbyist, but in the last decade long focus crown-flint achromats have moved aside for some exquisitely crafted apochromatic designs offered by leading commercial manufacturers. There has been a huge increase in the popularity of these telescopes in the last few years, led by a significant increase in the number of companies (particularly, William Optics, Orion USA, StellarVue, SkyWatcher and AstroTech) who are now heavily marketing refractors in the amateur astronomical magazines. In Choosing and Using a Refracting Telescope, well-known observer and astronomy writer Neil English celebrates the remarkable history and evolution of the refracting telescope and looks in detail at the instruments, their development and their use. A major feature of this book is the way it compares not only different classes of refractor, but also telescopes of each class that are sold by various commercial manufacturers. The author is perhaps uniquely placed to do this, having used and tested literally hundreds of different refracting telescopes over three decades. Because it includes many diverse subjects such as imaging with consumer-level digital cameras, imaging with webcams, and imaging with astronomical CCD cameras â that are not covered together in equal depth in any other single volume â Choosing and Using a Refracting Telescope could become the ârefractor bibleâ for amateur astronomers at all levels, especially those who are interested in imaging astronomical objects of every class. |
