Revelation Red Dot Finder

Revelation Red Dot Finder

The Revelation red dot finder is a red dot-type straight-through viewing non-magnifying finder with four different reticle patterns: a conventional single red dot; a single red dot within a circle; interrupted crosshairs with a single red dot in the center where uninterrupted crosshairs would normally meet; and a single red dot within a circle, with crosshairs projecting out from the circle.
You can choose the reticle pattern that best suits your viewing style and personal preferences.The patterns are projected on an oversized partially reflective dielectric optical glass screen. A rubber cover is supplied to slip over the glass screen to protect its premium coatings when the scope is not in use. The finder fits directly to Skywatcher and Orion USA type finder dovetails. Click-stop azimuth and altitude hex head adjustment bolts allow you to line up the finder with your main scope optics. The adjustments are very accurate, with each click stop equal to 1 arc minute of position change. The appropriate allen keys are supplied for clamping the finder in its base and making the altitude and azimuth adjustments. There is a combined on-off switch and rotary brightness level control on top of the finder. The control provides seven click-stop brightness levels.

Optional base has mounting holes to enable fitment to telescopes with tubes of diameters from 6" to 14". Once the dovetail base is installed on your scope, the finder body is slipped into the base and clamped in place by a hand tightened screw.

Telrad Finder

Telrad Finder

The Telrad is the best-selling non-magnifying finder for Dobsonians, equatorial reflectors, refractors, and Schmidt-Cassegrains alike.
The Telrad projects a series of concentric red rings (4 degrees, 2 degrees, and one-half degree in diameter) on a tilted clear viewing plate at the top of the finder. These circles make it easy to starhop from object to object. If a galaxy is 10 degrees north of a known star, for example, two 4 degree Telrad jumps and one 2 degree jump from the known star will take you to that galaxy in seconds. The half-degree circle makes it easy to quickly center a computerized scope on guide stars for start-up alignment, and to center on planets, comets, and deep space objects if you’re scanning the sky manually. The red circles can be seen from virtually any distance behind the Telrad, from two inches to two feet, so eyeglass-wearers can easily use the finder.

Collimating knobs at the back of the Telrad allow you to line up the finder with your main scope optics. An on/off switch and integral rotary brightness control allow you to match the finder brightness to your eye’s dark adaptation. The Telrad uses two 1.5V AA batteries

Sky at Night Magazine said "we loved the view through the Telrad and everything worked without fuss"

The new Baader AstroSolarT Safety Film (neutral density=5)

The new Baader AstroSolarT Safety Film (neutral density=5)

Baader Planetarium is a safety film for solar observation. It is made for the construction of high-quality objective-filters for observing the sun with telescopes, binoculars, camera or video-lenses. This foil is CE-tested and reduces the intensity of sunlight by 99.999%.

Baader Planetariums AstroSolarTM safety film is a specially manufactured streak- and blisterfree foil. It attains the optical performance of planeparallel glass filters. The base material is not "Mylar"!. The basic development of this film was made in laboratories for nuclear- and particle physics.

High density coatings on both sides of the foil ensures a highly uniform filtering, while neutralizing the occasional miscroscopic holes in the coating. The image of the sun is extremely contrasty and of almost neutral colour.

Baader planetarium SILICA - GEL

SILICA - GEL
Silica gel - drying agent 125ml with pollution free color indicator

Most damage to stored Optics equipment is caused by humidity trapped within the enclosed storage area itself. Humidity trapped within enclosed space turns into almost imperceptible condensation which causes irreparable damage. Silica gel prevents these moisture related problems before they begin. Silica gel creates a protective shield of dry air within any enclosed storage area.

The Silica Gel crystals have a built-in indicator which turns from pink to green signalling when the product is saturated with moisture and needs reactivation. Once saturated with moisture, silica gel can be easily reactivated in a conventional oven for lifetime protection.
