Galileo invented this style of telescope and used it to discover the moons of Jupiter, the Rings of Saturn, and to develop his heliocentric model of the solar system. Here at All Star Telescope we  love Refracting telescopes. If you’re interested in astrophotography, particularly deep sky astrophotography, refractors are the best beginner telescope. They’re also great for terrestrial viewing of landscapes, birds, whales, etc. Refractors are excellent for their portability, ease-of-use, and familiarity — refractors are very similar to camera lenses, which is a big plus for budding astrophotographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e One of the terms you’ll come across when reading about refractors is APO, or apochromatic. This designation is reserved for high-quality refractors that are free from false color or chromatic aberration.  Because of the great things they have going for them, quality refractors like apochromatic triplets and doublets are some of the most expensive telescopes for sale, per inch of aperture, or diameter of the telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor that reason, a Dobsonian telescope will usually outperform a refractor of the same price range visually, and a Schmidt-Cassegrain will outperform a refractor of the same price range for planetary viewing and imaging.

Offering some of the longest focal lengths available in telescopes, SCTs are a fantastic choice for those looking to view — and especially to image — solar system objects like planets and the moon. The long focal length is a double-edged sword, though, as it can make locating objects in the night sky like trying to look at space through a straw. Many beginner SCTs come packaged with a motorized go-to mount that can automatically point and track objects after a simple alignment process, which is basically a requirement to make sure you don't get lost in space looking for an object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSCTs are also arguably the most versatile telescope for sale today. Though their native focal length is very long, a variety of focal reducers made for SCTs can allow them to be used at medium and ultra-short focal lengths, which transform them into excellent performers for deep sky astrophotography.

They were popularized in the 1960's by John Dobson. Dobsonians vastly improved the aperture\/dollar ratio and made large aperture (relatively) inexpensive for amateur astronomers. Dobsonian mounts are economical, and allow you to manually find and track celestial objects. They're a great way to learn how to star-hop and find your way between constellations, asterisms and other things to see in the sky. Dobsonians can visually outperform other telescopes for sale in the same price range because of their large aperture, which gathers more light. The human eye is capable of seeing 10,000 stars.  A 10 inch Dobsonian telescope can show you 50,000,000!  These are great tools for exploring the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the telescope itself is technically a Newtonian and the term Dobsonian refers to the swivel-style mount, most amateur astronomers still know and refer to these telescopes as Dobsonians, or Dobs for short. These telescopes are an excellent choice for visually observing all kinds of celestial objects, but because of their large aperture, viewing faint deep sky objects is where Dobs really shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Dobsonians are great visual performers, their simple altitude-azimuth mounts make them a poor choice for deep sky astrophotography. Since they are technically Newtonian telescopes, Dobs will require frequent collimation, which is regular but easy maintenance similar to tuning an instrument before you play it. All things considered, if you're strictly looking to do visual observing and don't mind a heavy telescope, a Dobsonian gets our first pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/all-startelescope.com\/collections\/dobsonian-telescopes-canada\"\u003eShop Dobsonian Telescopes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Much Magnification Does a Telescope Have\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnification on a telescope is a pretty basic math formula.

For example, a Celestron NexStar 8 with 2,000mm of focal length using a 10mm eyepiece will give 200x magnification. This means that a telescope changes it's magnification when you change the eyepiece.

This incredibly fast f\/2.0 system is the perfect companion to today's colour astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras. Thanks to its fast focal ratio and patented optical design, you can produce sharp, detailed images and, in many cases, skip the autoguider completely.

It has many of the same thoughtfully designed features as its \"big brother\" RASA 11, including the integrated air-cooling system, internal filter mount, and sturdy CGE dovetail mounting bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurely designed for imaging, the 8\" RASA cannot be used visually.

View images on a computer instantly that are brighter and more detailed than can be seen in much bigger telescopes with the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause shorter exposure times are possible, your equatorial mount won't need to accurately track over extended periods. The 8\" RASA's relatively short 400mm focal length also lessens equatorial tracking demands. In many cases, autoguiding will not be required. Weighing only 17 lb, this optical tube pairs perfectly with a wide variety of mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUltra-Stable Focus System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the launch of the 8\" RASA, Celestron is unveiled a focuser design that mitigates lateral movement of the primary mirror when focusing, slewing, or tracking with the astrograph. Focusing is easier, more accurate, and more stable than ever. The key to the Ultra-Stable Focus System is a precision linear ball bearing, which is tested during assembly to ensure optimal results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt for Today's Latest Cameras\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8\" model was designed with colour astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras. It is optimized for sensors with up to a 22mm diagonal, but performs well with sensors up to 32mm diagonal. The APS-C sized sensors used in many mirrorless cameras are a good choice. 42mm full frame sensors will also work, but performance will be poor at the edges of the sensor and field illumination will be reduced. Additionally, we do not recommend pairing RASA 8 with any camera body more than 4\" in diameter.

The Celestron 8 brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world’s premier telescope maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current range of Celestron NexStar Telescopes build on this heritage by offering easy to use, telescopes with apertures that offer great views of our solar system and beyond. The Celestron NexStar 8SE comes loaded with a database of more than 40,000 objects it can track and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLots of Light for a Reasonable Price\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a full 8 inches of aperture, it offers 78% more light gathering than the next size down. With all that light-gathering, you'll clearly observe Cassini's Division in Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, the Great Red Spot and the Galilean moons. On our own moon you'll see craters and mountains in extraordinary detail. Looking beyond our solar system, the 8SE will show you hundreds of stars in globular clusters and, the spiral arms of the far away galaxies, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLightweight Single Fork Arm Mount\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt All Star Telescope, we know the best telescope is the one you will actually use. The single fork arm of the mount makes the 8SE portable and quick to setup and use. The Celestron NexStar 8SE breaks down into three manageable pieces, the tripod, computerized mount, and optical tube. This makes it incredibly easy to get it into the back of a small car for a trip to a dark site, or to get it set up in your backyard.On our website you'll find a comprehensive video on setting up your telescope. To further simplify the alignment process you can add the StarSense AutoAlign accessory, and your NexStar will align itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe NexStar Ecosystem\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron has developed a suite of accessories that will enhance your experience with the Celestron NexStar SE series. Control your telescope using your iPhone or iPad with our SkyQ Link, or add GPS functionality with SkySync. Attach the EclipSmart Solar Filter and turn your 8SE to the sun for great views of eclipses, transits, and regular solar observing. If you're interested in astrophotography, the NexStar 8SE is Fastar-compatible for ultra-fast, wide field imaging. For planetary and solar system imaging, there's no better choice than a NexStar. This is a telescope that you won’t outgrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRecommended Accessories for the 8SE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis telescope is ready to use right out of the box, but there are a couple of items that will really enhance your experience with the telescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rechargeable battery pack, for this scope we recommend the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/all-startelescope.com\/products\/celestron-powertank-lithium\"\u003ePowerTank Lithium (18771)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA higher power eyepiece, for this scope we recommend the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/all-startelescope.com\/products\/celestron-luminos-10mm\"\u003eCelestron Luminous 10mm (93431)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA neutral density moon filter, for this scope we recommend the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/all-startelescope.com\/products\/antares-neutral-density-filter-13-1\"\u003eAntares 13% (ND13)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery pack will mean you won't be hunting around for a fresh set of AA batteries every time you want to go observing. The higher power eyepiece will increase the magnification from the 81x that you gt out of the box to 200x magnification that's ideal for planetary viewing. The moon filter will add contrast and cut down on the brightness of the moon under magnification. These accessories will help you get the best out of your NexStar 8SE.

With StarSense Explorer, locating objects has never been easier, faster, or more accurate. Within minutes of setting up the telescope, you'll be navigating the sky with confidence. Simply place your phone in the unique StarSense dock and launch the StarSense Explorer app. After aligning your phone to the telescope's optics (a quick, 2-minute procedure), StarSense Explorer generates a list of celestial objects currently visible. Make your selection and arrows appear onscreen, guiding you as you to move the telescope. When the object is ready to view, the bullseye turns green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmartphone Compatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer works with most modern smartphones, including iPhone 6 and up and most devices running Android 7.1.2 or later manufactured since 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePatent-Pending StarSense Sky Recognition Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarSense Explorer uses patent-pending technology and your smartphone to determine exactly where the telescope is pointed in the night sky. A Lost in Space Algorithm (LISA), like the ones satellites use in orbit to correctly orient themselves, helps the app match star patterns it detects overhead to its internal database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile other astronomy apps may claim that they can help you find objects, they rely exclusively on the phone's gyros and accelerometers, which aren't as accurate as LISA technology. No other app can accurately tell you when your target is visible in the eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh Quality Altazimuth Mount with Slow Motion Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\nAn ultra-stable altazimuth mount provides a sturdy foundation for StarSense Explorer DX. Slip clutches and geared slow motion controls in both axes help you move the telescope smoothly and zero in your target. As celestial objects appear to drift across the night sky, you'll be able to follow them with just a few turns of the knobs. It's all anchored by an adjustable, full-height tripod.\n\u003ch4\u003eDazzling Views with High Quality Optics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a large 130mm (5\") objective lens, this telescope has enough light gathering ability to bring out impressive detail in celestial objects. You can expect sharp, bright views of Jupiter's four Galilean moons, its cloud bands and Great Red Spot, the rings of Saturn, the trapezium in the Orion Nebula, and beautiful Pleaides Open Star Cluster. Highly reflective coatings on both the primary and secondary mirror enhance the views even more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerfect for the City or Dark Sky Sites\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you live in a light polluted city location, StarSense Explorer is advanced enough to be able to pick out Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Orion Nebula, double stars, and a few more of the most famous celestial objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you can take the telescope to an even slightly darker location, more objects will become visible. With this 5\" Newtonian and relatively dark skies, the Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Open Star Cluster, and so many more are easily within your reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire telescope

Often referred to as '˜light buckets', Dobsonians provide users with the highest possible aperture for their money when compared to telescopes of a similar size, such as Schmidt-Cassegrains or refractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in the 1970s, the Dobsonian-style telescope is an inexpensive solution for bright, detailed visual observing using a simple design. The name '˜Dobsonian' comes from the telescope's inventor, John Dobson, a Vedanta monk who popularized sidewalk astronomy, and dedicated his life to astronomy outreach. Dobson was well known for constructing large aperture reflecting telescopes capable of deep sky viewing, using low cost materials. These were often made with found materials, heavy cardboard tubes, recycled porthole glass, and plywood mounts. Dobson, who literally wrote the book on how and why to make amateur telescopes, encouraged other astronomers to assemble their own telescopes and taught workshops on telescope making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flextube Dobsonian innovates on that original design, offering users the ability to collapse the optical tube using a proprietary truss-tube system while retaining its collimation. The optical tube uses a parabolic primary mirror, constructed of borosilicate, then polished and coated with our proprietary Radiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ), producing a remarkable 94% reflectivity. With a 12-inch aperture, the Flextube 300P Dobsonian collects 1840 times more light than the human eye! This simple yet effective design is perfect for visual observation of faint objects, such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting the Flextube Dobsonian is more than just a simple rocker box. The base uses Teflon bearings for smooth, easy Azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle to lock the telescope in place. Once locked on an object, the telescope can support both 1.25-inch eyepieces as well as the heavier 2-inch eyepieces, allowing you to use virtually any eyepiece on the market. All Flextube Dobsonians come with a slew of accessories, including: two 1.25-inch eyepieces, a 1.25-inch eyepiece adapter, a 2-inch eyepiece adapter, dust caps and a 8x50 finderscope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Sky-Watcher, we stay true to the traditional John Dobson design, while offering a fresh look for the 21st century. Although we love computerized telescopes, using a star chart to find objects by hand can be far more fulfilling and will improve your knowledge of the night sky.

Like the optics, the tube is beautifully crafted using aluminum and finished with a black diamond metal-flake finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a doublet refractor instead of a triplet has some advantages: less glass means less weight, less weight means a less expensive telescope, so you can dedicate more money for your camera or laptop while benefiting from a lightweight astrophotography rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evostar 80ED comes in a foam-lined aluminum case fully loaded with accessories, including: 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, 2-inch dielectric diagonal, two 1.25-inch eyepieces (5mm and 25mm), an 8x50 right-angle finderscope, tube rings, and a V-style dovetail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eED Doublet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBK7\/FPL-53(ED)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrue Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8000%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60000%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e145%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e157\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dual Speed Crayford\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5625\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8x50 RACI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Dielectric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRings\/V-Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mm LET\/5 Planetary\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30x\/120x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorrector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo (optional)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42107136999676,"sku":"S11100","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/products\/evostar80ed-1-sw.jpg?v=1645512721"},{"product_id":"celestron-omni-xlt-150","title":"Celestron Omni XLT 150 Reflector Telescope (31057)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron Omni XLT 150 Newtonian Reflector optical tube assembly offers up 6\" of light-gathering capability, which makes it a great choice whether your goal is to explore the solar system, venture out into deep-space, or do some imaging with the help of your choice of stable mount.

Compared with its siblings, the 500mm-focal-length refractor has an aperture size of 90mm (f\/5.6), so Askar FRA500 can better fit into the scenarios of deep-sky imaging than the Askar FRA400. Besides, it is more lightweight and compact than Askar FRA600, which makes it a great choice for out-door observation or astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskar FRA500 has inherited the legacies of superior FRA- series designing. It boasts a quintuplet air-spaced APO optical structure, a “three plus two” Petzval lens combination. The front lens group consists of three lenses (including two pieces of ED glass) for excellent correction of aberrations. The posterior group is composed of two lenses separated by small space which is able to provide fine sharpness across the whole image. You may barely detect any blurry star at the edge of the image. FRA500 supports an image circle of amazing 55mm, much larger than the standard 44mm full-frame image circle. Its special back-focus design frees users from calculating confusing back-focus distance or rummaging around for a proper spacer. What you need to focus on is just to make your target stay in focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskar FRA500 is typically a wonderful mix of pragmatism and aesthetics. The astrograph shows smooth lines and a sound layout of components. From the front, the Askar FRA500 has an impressive dew shield decorated with a classic bright-red bezel ring. The total length of FRA500 is 452mm when the dew shield is stretched out and 410mm when contracted back. At the tail end of the astrograph locates a 3.5\" massively-built focuser with dual-speed hand knobs (twin knobs for coarse adjustment and one 1:10 fine adjustment knob), which is of great use in real observation or astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe astrograph wears smooth coating and is evenly finished. The graduation inside of the focuser is quite clear and easily readable. The focuser is tough and solid, and on the left side of it, there is a standard finder base with a silver thumb screw. So the FRA500 can piggyback carry finders, guiders or other potential astronomy accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskar FRA500 comes also with a pair of sought-after tube rings. On the top of the tube rings attached a handle and at the bottom, there is an Askar Losmandy-style dovetail plate. The combination of milk-white main tube and dew shield together with a high-gloss piano-black focuser makes the optical tube assembly calm and deep which is offset by the bright red decorative ring and tube rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Askar FRA500 is 410mm long and weighs about 4kg, so it’s quite convenient for users to carry around or mount on an EQ mount. It’s particularly suitable for astronomy enthusiasts who frequently engage in long-distance trips or out-door astrophotography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAskar FRA500 together with the FRA family is well received for large aperture, fast speed, delicate focusing system, unique optical design and the subsequently high-quality imaging results.

We were gratified but not surprised that Backyard Astronomer's Guide said of the NP101: \"optics don't get any better than this.\" No wonder Sky and Telescope rated the NP101 tops and selected it as the test instrument for its landmark review of the SBIG STL11000 CCD camera . The \"is\" versions of the TeleVue-60, 102i, NP101 and NP127 retain the exemplary wide field and planetary visual capability while adding new features to make imaging easier and more flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were determined to make the NP series optically, mechanically, and functionally as perfect as possible for imaging up to 50mm diagonal chips without penalty to its near ideal visual operation. (Reviewer Note.) How? By applying the developments created for the TeleVue-60is to the new NP101is and NP127is and then going beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NP101 (540mm, f\/5.4, 4\") and NP127 (660mm, f\/5.2, 5\") maintain their optical specifications yet with redesigned 4-element optical systems. Larger rear lens groups absolutely minimize vignetting in formats up to 50mm diagonal. For these large chips an optional field corrector was developed (Reviewer Note.) so the corners of the newly brightened edges would virtually be as perfect as the center of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, to take full advantage of the larger lenses, we developed a larger focuser and draw tube having a 3\" front aperture and 2.4\" rear aperture. This eliminates any restriction of the larger diameter converging light cone. We build and test the rack and pinion focuser to hold 12 lbs. of weight, yet still permit extremely fine focusing control via a 10:1 dual speed pinion assembly. This new draw tube also permits quick change from visual to imaging operation and allows full camera rotation without focus change. In addition, it has the capability to correct for any residual focal plane tilt and accepts a \"position stop\" for our digital micrometer to allow repeatable focus measurement to 0.0001\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain squareness to the optical axis while changing camera orientation, the draw tube has three lock screws that tighten against a taper on the \"imaging insert\" ring. This insert is threaded to accept TeleVue's new Imaging System accessories including large diameter extension tubes, optical accessories, and camera and CCD attachments, all with mating threads.

All Maksutovs use a corrector plate to help reduce chromatic aberration, which is then coated using our signature Metallic High-Transmission Coatings (MHTC), producing professional grade optics at an affordable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Skymax 127 includes a 2-inch 28mm eyepiece, 6x30 finderscope, V-style dovetail, and 2-inch diagonal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eOptical Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMak-Cass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadiant Aluminum Quartz (RAQ) coatings with 94% reflectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLens Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi-Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBK7\/Borosilicate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Aperture (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e127\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF\/Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1540\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction (by diameter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eObservational Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDawes Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRayleigh Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Mag.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering (compared to next size down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eGeneral Info\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Mirror\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Length (Retract\/Ext.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Outer Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.75\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOTA Weight (with accessories)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6x30 Finder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" Star Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV-Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 LET\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification w\/ Included Eyepieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sky-Watcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42417062347004,"sku":"S11520","price":850.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7702\/9116\/products\/RS1357_S11520_Skymax127_OTAOnly_LeftFront_NoBackground-scr_1800x1800_5466c29d-cf71-4ebb-b9b7-1de33ba5b517-sw.jpg?v=1645513135"},{"product_id":"celestron-cpc-1100-gps-xlt","title":"Celestron CPC 1100 GPS (XLT) Computerized Telescope (11075-XLT)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe CPC series is the most portable of Celestron's top-of-the-line fork-mounted astronomical telescopes. This Celestron CPC 1100 GPS XLT telescope is at home as a superb visual instrument or, with optional wedge and an astro camera, as a serious astrophotographer's tool. Turn this computerized telescope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini's Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even the distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your reach. Although large in aperture and with a weight of 65 pounds, the Celestron CPC 1100 telescope is still portable enough for most adults to setup and breakdown due to the ergonomic built-in carry handles. Hear more about the CPC series and their impressive features in the video overview below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe revolutionary SkyAlign Alignment Technology built into the Celestron CPC 1100 telescope redefines everything that amateur astronomers are looking for - quick and simple alignment, unsurpassed optical quality, ease of set-up and use, ergonomics, enhanced computerization and, most important, affordability. So if you are looking for a great overall workhorse of a telescope the Celestron CPC1100 is for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning the CPC is as easy as 1-2-3! Simply locate and use the hand control to point (slew) the telescope to three bright celestial objects. You do not need to know the names of the stars - you may even pick the moon or bright planets! Celestron's NexStar software technology will model the night sky to determine the position of every star, planet and celestial object above the horizon. Once aligned, the CPC hand control allows direct access to each of the celestial catalogs in its user-friendly database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron CPC database contains over 40,000 celestial objects including Messier objects, the Caldwell Catalog, as well as NGC Galaxies, nebulae and planets. User-definable filter limits make navigating through this expansive database quicker and easier. Filter Limits let you filter out objects that are outside of your local horizon (ie, if trees or mountains were in the way). Identify feature tells you what you're looking at, but it can also be a very fun way to tour around the sky. Just point the Celestron CPC 1100 GPS XLT telescope somewhere and ask it to identify Messier objects (for instance) and it will show you the 5 nearest Messier objects to your position and let you GOTO them. You can keep doing this for different parts of the sky or for different object types - it is a lot of fun. There's also \"Solar Sys Align\" that lets you align on the moon for daytime observing - it is easy to use this to see planets or bright stars in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CPC Series telescopes feature meticulously matched and hand-figured optical systems that are manufactured in Celestron's facilities in Torrance, California.

With sophisticated software features like Hibernate function, the CPC 8\" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope can maintain its star alignment night after night without needing to be re-aligned, making it an ideal instrument for a permanent observatory facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CPC series is the most portable of Celestron's top-of-the-line fork-mounted astronomical telescopes. This Celestron CPC 800 GPS XLT telescope is at home as a superb visual instrument or, with optional wedge and an astro camera, as a serious astrophotographer's tool. Turn this computerized telescope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini's Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even the distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your reach. Although large in aperture and with a weight of 61 pounds, the Celestron CPC 800 telescope is still portable enough for most adults to setup and breakdown due to the ergonomic built-in carry handles. Hear more about the CPC series and their impressive features in the video overview below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe revolutionary SkyAlign Alignment Technology built into the Celestron CPC 800 telescope redefines everything that amateur astronomers are looking for - quick and simple alignment, unsurpassed optical quality, ease of set-up and use, ergonomics, enhanced computerization and, most important, affordability. So if you are looking for a great overall workhorse of a telescope the Celestron CPC800 is for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning the CPC is as easy as 1-2-3! Simply locate and use the hand control to point (slew) the telescope to three bright celestial objects. You do not need to know the names of the stars - you may even pick the moon or bright planets! Celestron's NexStar software technology will model the night sky to determine the position of every star, planet and celestial object above the horizon. Once aligned, the CPC hand control allows direct access to each of the celestial catalogs in its user-friendly database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron CPC database contains over 40,000 celestial objects including Messier objects, the Caldwell Catalog, as well as NGC Galaxies, nebulae and planets. User-definable filter limits make navigating through this expansive database quicker and easier. Filter Limits let you filter out objects that are outside of your local horizon (ie, if trees or mountains were in the way). Identify feature tells you what you're looking at, but it can also be a very fun way to tour around the sky. Just point the Celestron CPC 800 GPS XLT telescope somewhere and ask it to identify Messier objects (for instance) and it will show you the 5 nearest Messier objects to your position and let you GOTO them. You can keep doing this for different parts of the sky or for different object types - it is a lot of fun.

With sophisticated software features like Hibernate function, the CPC 9.25\" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope can maintain its star alignment night after night without needing to be re-aligned, making it an ideal instrument for a permanent observatory facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CPC series is the most portable of Celestron's top-of-the-line fork-mounted astronomical telescopes. This Celestron CPC 925GPS XLT telescope is at home as a superb visual instrument or, with optional wedge and an astro camera, as a serious astrophotographer's tool. Turn this computerized telescope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini's Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even the distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your reach. Although large in aperture and with a weight of 61 pounds, the Celestron CPC 925telescope is still portable enough for most adults to setup and breakdown due to the ergonomic built-in carry handles. Hear more about the CPC series and their impressive features in the video overview below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe revolutionary SkyAlign Alignment Technology built into the Celestron CPC 925telescope redefines everything that amateur astronomers are looking for - quick and simple alignment, unsurpassed optical quality, ease of set-up and use, ergonomics, enhanced computerization and, most important, affordability. So if you are looking for a great overall workhorse of a telescope the Celestron CPC925is for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning the CPC is as easy as 1-2-3! Simply locate and use the hand control to point (slew) the telescope to three bright celestial objects. You do not need to know the names of the stars - you may even pick the moon or bright planets! Celestron's NexStar software technology will model the night sky to determine the position of every star, planet and celestial object above the horizon. Once aligned, the CPC hand control allows direct access to each of the celestial catalogs in its user-friendly database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron CPC database contains over 40,000 celestial objects including Messier objects, the Caldwell Catalog, as well as NGC Galaxies, nebulae and planets. User-definable filter limits make navigating through this expansive database quicker and easier. Filter Limits let you filter out objects that are outside of your local horizon (ie, if trees or mountains were in the way). Identify feature tells you what you're looking at, but it can also be a very fun way to tour around the sky. Just point the Celestron CPC 925GPS XLT telescope somewhere and ask it to identify Messier objects (for instance) and it will show you the 5 nearest Messier objects to your position and let you GOTO them. You can keep doing this for different parts of the sky or for different object types - it is a lot of fun.

For the first time ever on a consumer telescope, NexStar Evolution includes its own built-in battery. With this ultra-long life lithium-iron phosphate battery, you'll be able to enjoy stargazing marathons up to 10 hours on a single charge. You can even use NexStar Evolution's USB charge port to top off the other devices in your life that need to stay powered on during an observing session.

With Celestron's StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMechanical Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to EdgeHD's optimized optical design, the telescope tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror clutches - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images. Once focused, the flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or on the sensor).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 50-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastar versatility - EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. At its native f\/11, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. Add the optional reducer lens-custom-designed for your size EdgeHD tube-and you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third party lens accessory for ultra-fast f\/2 wide field imaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIndividually Tested\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery EdgeHD that ships has been tested not only for the surface quality of each optical component, but also with a camera and artificial star to ensure the imaging system meets our rigid quality assurance.
