The TeleVue TRF-2008 0.8x Reducer/Flattener is designed to reduce the focal length and simultaneously flatten the image field of compatible refractor telescopes. By shortening the focal length, it widens the field of view and allows for shorter exposure times, making it easier to capture extended nebulae, large galaxies, and wide deep-sky regions. With this reducer, expansive objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy can fit comfortably within the image frame.

The TeleVue 0.8x Reducer/Flattener is designed to improve image sharpness across the entire field by correcting focus away from the center. It reduces the telescope’s focal length to 80% of its original value while simultaneously flattening the image field. This results in a wider field of view and better edge performance, making it ideal for astrophotography with sensors up to 35 mm full-frame format.

The TeleVue Paracorr Tunable Top is an adjustable accessory designed to optimize the performance of TeleVue Paracorr coma correctors. It allows precise positioning of the eyepiece relative to the corrector lens, ensuring maximum coma correction and maintaining sharp star images across the entire field of view. This component is especially useful for Newtonian telescope users who require accurate spacing for different eyepiece designs. The included 1.25" adapter expands compatibility with a wide range of eyepieces.

The TeleVue Starbeam is a premium red-dot projection finder designed for maximum comfort, precision, and flexibility. Its unique flip-mirror mechanism allows viewing from straight-through orientation up to a 90° angle, making it comfortable to use whether the telescope is aimed low or high in the sky. When used straight through, you see the natural sky with a bright 10 arc-minute red “star” (approximately one-third the diameter of the Moon) marking the telescope’s pointing position.

The TeleVue Gibraltar HD5 is a robust alt-azimuth mount designed to support larger 5" telescopes with exceptional stability. It combines the solid Gibraltar HD wooden tripod with a reinforced alt-az head that is wider and heavier than the original Tele-Pod design. The mount head features larger bearings and cradle mounting holes compatible with the TeleVue NP127 baseplate as well as other TeleVue optical tubes. The wide bearing surfaces and thick wooden tripod legs provide excellent rigidity, making the mount suitable for high-magnification observing.

The TeleVue Panoramic Advanced AZ mount is a compact and travel-friendly alt-azimuth mount designed primarily for smaller telescopes. It combines portability with improved rigidity, making it ideal for observers who want a stable yet lightweight solution for field use. The mount positions the telescope approximately 2.3 to 4 feet above the ground, providing comfortable observing height for seated or low-standing sessions. For enhanced stability under heavier loads, the Tele-Pod head is mounted on high-quality ash wood legs.

The TeleVue Tele-Pod mount head is a sturdy and compact mounting solution designed for small travel telescopes. It offers smooth and precise vertical and horizontal adjustments, allowing accurate manual tracking and easy positioning of the telescope. Its lightweight yet durable construction makes it ideal for portable observing setups. The mount head is compatible with tripods featuring standard 1/4" or 3/8" threads, providing flexible mounting options for a wide range of tripod systems.

The TeleVue mount ring set is designed for telescopes with a 5-inch (127 mm) tube diameter. This pair of sturdy tube clamps provides secure support and stable mounting for compatible optical tubes. The included mounting plate follows the Vixen-style dovetail standard, allowing easy attachment to GP-type mounts and other compatible mounting systems. Multiple threaded holes in the rings enable the installation of additional accessories, such as guide scopes or mounting hardware. 

The TeleVue Focusmate Driver is an adjustable-speed electric motor designed to enhance focusing precision on compatible TeleVue telescopes, including the NP127is. It installs easily onto the Focusmate unit and features a unique quick-disconnect mechanism, allowing you to switch between motorized and manual focusing without the use of tools. This flexibility makes it ideal for both imaging and visual observing. The system includes a battery-operated hand controller with forward and reverse buttons and a variable-speed control knob.

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.
