I have been looking for a vixen counter weight for my Newt and RC and this hard to find in stock item was in stock ! It arrived quickly and happily is now installed and ready to go ! Definitely an improvement and required piece of kit.
I own a104mm X2, other comments by people who don't have one, or have not e ven had the opportunity to try one, I ignore. Why they comment, can't figure that out yet.
This scope is all I would be looking for imaging! 2 FPL 51 AND 53. The colors POP. Absolutely no CA. The focuser is robust, it handles my whole image train, fieldflattner, Electric Focuser, Filter wheel, ASI2600MC Pro, and sometimes my .65 reducer without a problem. The build is good. This scope in my opinion is worth every cent. I own 5 Refractor scopes, the lowest quantity one is my first one. Explore Scientific 102mm Doublet. From that onward are all ED Triplets. My largest scope is an ES 127mm carbon fiber FCD100 Triplet. I own 4 mounts, ES exos 2, Celestron AVX, Celestron CGX-L, and ZWO AM5-N. I've been imaging for 16 years, after graduating from Observing.
I received this system in short time and perfect shape.
It fit my long obsolete meade lx10 telescope perfectly, and without any modification.
This is my second ZWO filter holder and works great. I haven't noticed any light leaks. The magnets hold the filter drawers securely. Highly recommended. The service from All-Star Telescope was excellent as always.
A must-have accessory for your ZWO EAF. Allows an autofocus routine to run based on pre-determined temperature changes.
This is my second EAF purchase from All-Star Telescope.
I recently upgraded my Celestron C8 setup with the ZWO EAF 5V, and it has been a game-changer. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by its solid build quality and thoughtful design. Installation was straightforward—ZWO includes everything you need, and the clear instructions make it easy to attach to a variety of focusers. Within minutes, I had it up and running.
What truly sets the EAF 5V apart is its smooth, precise focusing. Gone are the days of guesswork at the eyepiece or squinting at star shapes on my screen. Now, with just a few taps in my imaging software, the EAF automatically dials in pinpoint focus, even after temperature shifts or filter changes. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch the stars sharpen in real time without having to touch the scope.
The quiet operation and reliable performance throughout each imaging session have given me greater confidence in my setup. Paired with my ASIAIR or my Stellarmate, the EAF integrates seamlessly for fully automated focusing, saving me time and frustration.
Overall, the ZWO EAF 5V is well worth the investment for anyone looking to streamline their astrophotography workflow. It adds convenience, consistency, and professional-level precision to your imaging sessions. If you’re serious about capturing the best possible data, this electronic focuser is a must-have upgrade.
This is an essential tool for daytime viewing. It does the job nicely. Recommended!
I'm very happy with this idler shaft that I ordered. It's fits my tumbler with no problems and works properly.
Great accessories for the S50, work very well together. Easy and fast delivery from AST - much appreciated!
I love to be able to find out the different stars. Heading south to try out the one i bought for down there.
My EAF is connected to my Edge 8HD so if I need to manually focus (say while doing collimation or a visual observation) this hand controller is much easier than having to boot up my entire system or removing the EAF to get at the focus adjustment.
Telrad Extra Mounting Base for Reflex Sight Finder (2001)
Received quickly, sooner than supposed to, with care and everything is perfect. It takes very good photos !
Tested with ASI air and works however I have not been able to do any astroimaging due to weather on the West coast
Great piece of kit, easy install and worked right away with next to no effort. Highly recommend.
An excellent product. Easily mounted on my WO GT81. I now have three of them with no issues.
It filters out light pollution nicely, but cast a cyan background, which is easily removed in and processing software. Great buy!
Received my S30 late last week and was able to fire it up for the first time last night. Just getting back into astronomy after many years. Currently I own an orange tube c5 (1982) and televue 76. Needless to say, this is a very different animal. Set up was easy but first two images were blurry. Using manual focus followed by autofocus solved the problem and my third image of the Orion Nebula was spot on. Build quality seems good and it is easy to carry around. Looking forward to using this scope a lot in the months to come. Highly recommended.
Good quality product manufactured by a great company being resold by our favorite astronomy dealer with personalized service. How can it get any better?
I bought 5 or 8 pounds and found only 1 or 2 showing little to no bands, most are high contrast bands, some with shadow bandings, some even worth slabbing and made into pendants.
The telrad is a classic, I have on on all my telescopes. I buy all my Astro gear from Allstar telescope. Very professional and offer a excellent service.
Very well designed scope , top notch quality with excellent support from All Star telescopes
I purchased a used C14 Hyperstar system but the camera connection was not correct for my purposes. Starizona said that this plate could be replaced with different types to suite different cameras. This 54mm one fits the ASI6200 camera and the backspacing seems good in preliminary testing.
Could have been a bit smaller pieces like the rose quarts I purchased at the same time
