The TeleVue Encoder Kit is designed to equip compatible TeleVue mounts with digital setting circle capability. It provides all necessary components to integrate encoders into your mount, enabling precise position tracking when used with a compatible digital setting circle system. This kit is suitable for TeleVue Panoramic, Tele-Pod, and Gibraltar mounts. All required parts are included to ensure proper installation and reliable operation.

With your telescope standing, you should be sitting. The TeleVue Air Chair is designed to provide comfortable support during extended observing sessions, allowing you to spend more time at the eyepiece and notice subtle details more easily. Its soft, rotating seat and adjustable height make it ideal for use with all TeleVue telescope and mount combinations. By sitting comfortably, you can keep your tripod at its most stable height while maintaining a relaxed observing position.

The TMS-Astro EQ platform allows an azimuth-mounted Dobsonian telescope to function like a parallactic (equatorial) mount. By tilting the mount so that the azimuth axis becomes parallel to the Earth’s rotational axis, the platform compensates for Earth’s rotation through continuous movement along a single axis. This enables smooth tracking of celestial objects. The entire Dobsonian telescope is placed directly on the inclined platform, which must be matched to the geographical latitude of the observing location.

The ToupCam E3ISPM 9000A is part of the advanced E3ISPM camera series from ToupTek, designed for brightfield microscopy and applications requiring high frame rates. It features a high-performance SONY Exmor CMOS sensor and a fast USB 3.0 interface for rapid image transmission. With a compact CNC-machined aluminum housing and powerful onboard image processing, this camera offers both durability and excellent imaging performance. The series incorporates a 12-bit Ultra-Fine Hardware Image Signal Processor Video Pipeline (Ultra-Fine HISP VP).

The X8CAM4K series from ToupTek consists of high-performance CMOS cameras equipped with HDMI, network (LAN), and USB outputs that can be used simultaneously. Designed for professional applications requiring exceptional detail and accurate color reproduction, these cameras combine high resolution, fast frame rates, and advanced onboard image processing. With stand-alone operation capabilities and flexible connectivity, they are ideal for laboratory, industrial, medical, and educational environments.

This transmitted light spectroscope is a simple yet precise instrument designed for observing and analyzing the spectra of various light sources. It features a tube with a precision entrance slit and a 600 lines-per-millimetre grating, allowing users to easily point it at different light sources such as the sky (to observe the solar spectrum and Fraunhofer absorption lines), flames for chemical analysis, liquids for their absorption spectra, or the bright lines from discharge tubes and lamps.

This compact spectroscope features a high-performance flat-field concave grating in a module measuring just 136 x 120 x 75 mm and weighing 1.2 kg. It includes a built-in Lodestar X2 guide camera and an argon-neon calibration lamp for precise wavelength calibration. Both the input and output are equipped with T2 threads, making the unit compatible with most imaging cameras that use T2 thread connections. Starlight Xpress recommends pairing this spectroscope with the Trius SX-694 camera for optimal performance.
