Great Sale June 29,
2011
We are about to start a new page on our web site for
Ultra Compact Binoculars. And we decided to start this
page off right with a sale on one type. These are a
very inexpensive, but quite nice, group of small
binoculars. They are center focus and blue coated.
These ultra compacts are great because you will take
them everywhere. With their very small weight, carry
them all the time. There is a handy belt loop for you
to carry them on your belt. Great for nature study,
sports, and hunting. A little small for a lot of
astronomy, but these give good views of the moon and
the brighter clusters and galaxies.

Super Sale - June 4,
2011 Rugged Binoculars (with Phase Corrected Prisms) - GREAT REVIEW! The November 2010 issue of American Hunter magazine gave a great review of the 10X42 member of this series. They rated these as the best of all bargains - at the MAP price of $249. AND WE SELL THEM FOR $149.95 normally. During this overstock sale, we have an even greater bargain for the 10X42 at $89.95 and the 8X42 at $84.95!!! That is a $159 discount on an already fantastic bargain. These Konus binoculars have everything you could expect in a high-end pair of binoculars except for the price. These are waterproof (water resistant), rugged, and have Phase Corrected BAK-4 prisms - a high point in advanced binocular technology. They meet or exceed almost everything on the market including those with MUCH higher prices. The eye relief is very long, and the field of view is super wide. These are purged with dry nitrogen and O-ring sealed to make them water, fog, and frost free. Please remember that this great price applies only to ones currently in stock. |

New May 13, 2011
New High-featured Ultra-compact Binoculars When we looked at the specifications on these binoculars, we had to check the price again. With a lifetime warranty and being waterproof, one would expect a MUCH higher price. Because of the light weight (8.8oz. or 250gm. ) and belt-loop case, these are very easy to carry into the field. Great while birding or hunting! |

The unusual 1.8X power barlow gives less duplicate powers when used with your eyepieces. |

If you like one, it is only $6.99! With the try before you buy, you cannot fail to download some. I am POSITIVE you will tax your brain, be amazed, and have a lot of fun! But remember that some are very, very scary. |

New Dual Power Barlows. Our
new dual power barlows are listed with our barlows. The 2X
one also will give you a 1.4X power. The 3X one also gives
you a 1.8X power. While our 2X barlow would do that for
several months now, there is now new
stock on this 3X barlow with this feature. The
finish of these new barlows was made to match our new
Ultrablack Plossl and Ultrawide eyepieces.
These replace our great standard barlows with new features. And we even lowered the price of the 3X barlow for you! |

Maps of the moon and Mars are included. Details of meteor showers, oppositions of the planets, and eclipse data are included. These cover the events up to the Great Solar Eclipse of 2017.

Precision Laser
Collimators. We have added
precision laser collimators from Farpoint Astronomical
Research to our listings. These precision collimators will
help you get your Newtonian reflectors correctly
collimated. Reflectors that are in collimation will give
much greater visual and photographic contrast and details.

New May 5, 2009
 New Software: The Guide by Project Pluto This is rather a fantastic piece of astronomical software. It does a great deal. Shown to the left are photos of Io in transit over Jupiter and the region around M88. Check the page to see a part of what this software can do |
New April 24, 2009 New Lumicon IR Blocking Filter. This filter is just about essential for color photography using CCD/Digital cameras. Many filters, regardless of the visible color, will pass the IR part of the spectrum. On color photographs, and many black and white, this results in a loss of saturation in the color and a blur in the image |
New January 26, 2009 2" Visual Back for SCT. We have a great 2" visual back adapter. This allows the use of 2" diagonals or eyepieces with a standard SCT telescope. Step=up to 2" accessories. These are sturdy all metal construction and have brass compression rings to protect your eyepieces. The price starts out great, and we even give a 50% discount when ordered with a 2" diagonal or eyepiece. |
New January 9, 2009 Konus GOTO Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope. This is a well equipped GOTO telescope that is portable enough for you to take anywhere with you. It sets up quickly and has sharp optics. There are more than 44,000 objects in its database. Consider a lot of these targets for you when you have a CCD camera, but all of the Messier and Cladwell objects are visible in this scope in places were you have a good sky. This is a beautiful scope with a great multicoated objective. And this price is great too! We are offering this scope at a great intro price. |
New August 15, 2008 iOptron Series of GOTO Mountings and Telescopes. iOptron makes 5 different series of GOTO mountings. The basic models are VERY inexpensive and all are portable. These iOptron mountings have a range of features and most of them are upgradable later from the basic models. Complete systems are available with any of three different telescopes. The various iOptron models will handle all of your needs for rapid access to many deep-sky objects and the planets. Using the dove-tail mounting plate, you can mount about any type of telescope for long term observations and photography. You also may control your telescope through your computer using optional ASCOM software. Included in the group of mountings are alt-az models and equatorial models. There also is a kit to upgrade your existing EQ-5 or LX-75 type mounting to full GOTO control. |
New January 8, 2008 New Knight OWL Focal Reducer 0.5X These focal reducers were made from our specifications exclusively for OWL. Our new Knight OWL focal reducer gives you twice the true field with your eyepieces. It gives lower power, but decreases the required time for photographic exposures by a factor of 4. An f/10 SCT becomes f/5. An f/6 reflector becomes an f/3! |
