Starlight Xpress Camera Lodestar X2 Autoguider Color
517.34 $
Tax included
While the original Lodestar utilized the ICX429 Exview chip from Sony, renowned for its exceptional sensitivity, Sony has now upgraded it to the ICX829. This latest 'Exview 2' chip boasts significantly improved Quantum Efficiency (QE) and reduced read noise, effectively doubling the Lodestar's sensitivity and adding nearly a full magnitude to the minimum guide star brightness.
TeleVue Coma corrector Paracorr Type 2
638.74 $
Tax included
The optical chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Tele Vue's groundbreaking 82-degree Nagler and 100+ degree Ethos eyepieces set industry standards for the largest, flattest, and best-corrected visual fields. Pairing the Nagler/Ethos revolution with the Dobsonian revolution and Paracorr creates an ideal combination for breathtaking wide and sharp "spacewalk" observing.

158.7 $
Tax included
Embark on a journey to master planetary photography with the Touptek 1200KPB, a revolutionary camera designed to elevate your astrophotography experience. Building upon the success of its predecessor, this advanced planetary camera boasts enhanced sensitivity, improved electronics, and a host of features tailored to unleash your creative potential.
TS Optics Flattener 1x 2"/M48
140.15 $
Tax included
The flattener is a vital component that ensures uniformity in astrophotography by addressing the slight curvature introduced by primary optics. This curvature often results in stars appearing less sharp at the edges of the field of view. Enter the flattener, also known as a field flattener, which effectively corrects this phenomenon, allowing astrophotographers to capture images where stars remain consistently sharp from edge to edge.
TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x
228.78 $
Tax included
The flattener is a crucial optical component designed to rectify field curvature induced by primary optics. This curvature often results in diminished sharpness of stars at the periphery of the field of view. By evening out the field, the flattener—also known as a field flattener—ensures that astrophotographers can capture images with consistently sharp stars right to the edges of their exposures.
TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x M54/M48
185.5 $
Tax included
The flattener, also known as a field flattener, is a vital lens that rectifies the slight curvature in the field caused by primary optics. This curvature often leads to reduced sharpness of stars at the periphery of the field of view. By evening out this field curvature, the flattener ensures that stars remain consistently sharp throughout the entire exposure.
TS Optics Coma corrector 0.95x 2''
193.74 $
Tax included
A coma corrector is a vital optical accessory designed specifically for Newtonian telescopes. These telescopes often exhibit a form of distortion known as "coma," which causes stars at the edge of the field of view to appear comet-like. To address this issue, the coma corrector, also known as a field flattener, is employed.
TS Optics Rotator 360° M63
105.11 $
Tax included
With a rotating adapter, you gain the flexibility to attach a camera or other accessories to your telescope and rotate them around the optical axis. This feature allows you to adjust the sensor rotation angle for optimal imaging of different celestial objects during astrophotography sessions.
William Optics Adjustable Flattener Reducer Flat73R for ZenithStar 73
376.98 $
Tax included
The flattener serves as a corrective lens to rectify the slight curvature introduced by the primary optics, ensuring uniform field illumination. This curvature often causes stars at the field's edge to appear less sharp. Also known as a field flattener, this accessory eliminates this effect, enabling astrophotographers to capture sharp stars throughout the entire exposure.
