B Barrel Metal Lid 1 20 ML

Advertised wrong. The item shown appeared to have the rubber gasket attached.
The item shown was black not red. I am told that the gasket will ship to me in the matter of 2 or 3 weeks trying to rectify the problem.

SQA106

This scope checks all the boxes and is in the best sweet spot for image quality, size, speed, portability and FOV.

William Optics GT-81 IV(Generation) APO

Have a first generation Williams GT-81 with the original Crayford style focuser.
Focuser had been somewhat problematic, until fixed upon disassembly.
The IV generation GT-81 has a much improved rack and pinion focuser.
The triplet APO style optics are very good from what I have seen visually (need to be thoroughly tested). A interferometer test certificate would be nice, but not available on this scope.
Nice mounting rings included with a slot for gear and two mounting points on focuser for guide scope/finders. Made in Taiwan.
Recommended!

Seestar S50, accessory kit and leveller

I found the staff at Allstar very knowledgeable and helpful in making my decision to purchase the s50 and applicable accessories, such as the tripod leveller is a must. Delivery was 5 days to B.C. Would purchase again and I appreciate the staffs help. Solid 5 stars all around.

Antlia Solar Discover Dualband Energy Rejection Filter

Small but mighty smart telescope

Overall a great little telescope. I was able to take photos of Markarian's Chain, the Pinwheel Galaxy M101, and the Whirlpool Galaxy M51. The resolution is 1080P so it is not super high definition. It is good value at its price point. The denoise capability is the best denoising algorithm I’ve seen in a while. This little Telescope is capable of DSO, the Moon, the Sun, and scenery photography. I also need to try the EQ mount setting for DSO.

ZWO ASI662MC

Nice looking camera. Easy setup. Imaged 98% moon only. I operated the camera through asiair plus and all worked very well and easy to use. I was imaging through double pane window and images still came through very well, I did attempt to use a 2.5 barlow lens but did not focus well do to shooting through window. But all indications is that it will give some nice images. Overall was very impressed with the images from this camera, and also how it stacked the video in asiair. The service from ALL-STAR telescope was excellent, keep up the great work ALL-STAR.

Antares 2" to 1.25" Twist Lock Adapter

The adapter is well made , easy to use and not too expensive . It centers your eyepiece without marking it up . I like and would recommend it .

Delite

Completes my collection.
Easy ordering from website and priced competitively. Glad I ordered when I did as the price of item has gone up.

Rain

I have not been able to use it as of yet .The weather has not been good.

Sky-Watcher Flextube 250P 10" Collapsible Telescope

The Sky-Watcher Flextube 250P telescope deffinetlty saves me space when I transport it, my 8" 200 classic would take up the length of the backseat of my truck with the base in the front seat...now everything fits in the back seat.
The operation is very smooth ...collimation is such a breeze compared to my old telescope main mirror can be adjusted by hand ...
I do find that it is a bit more awkward to carry due to its compactness and is a few pounds heavier...but overall such a great improvement over my full tube 8" dobsonian.

tried it out on Moon and Mars

Finally had a clear night that matched up with the weekend so set the rig up. The surface detail of the moon was excellent. Processing a 3000 frame of Mars even brought in some decent enough detail to start seeing more than i thought. When that puppy swings back around and close again in 2027 I will be trying it again.

very cheap!

this telescope was amazing for bird watching and it made me happy because I could see my neighbours homes as well! 10/10 this is also a must have if u just had a kid and they want to drop 12k on a good telescope

Easy to use

First scope and 2 clear nights and got crab nebula and pinwheel galaxy on short process. Still learning but seems cool so far

Amazing capabilities!

I just received the S30 and after the obligatory 10 nights of solid clouds, I finally gave it a test run. The results are very impressive, though I'm still learning the basics. I definitely recommend it !

Not as good as I had hoped

Bought these binos to replace my old Leitz 8x32b. While the image quality is definitely perfect (mostly due to more modern coatings I guess), these binos are way less comfortable to use. First off, the field of view is narrower even comparing to my old Leitz 8x32B, which already had a reduced field comparing to the regular 8x32. Second, the eye placement can be tricky and definitely less forgiving than the one on my Leitz. Third, a weil-like artifact appears when you are looking slightly up and the skies are bright. Fourth, in order to get the maximum FOV I have to keep the eye cups fully extended, and my eyes are rather deeply set in the sockets. So if your eyes are not set deeply, then you likely won't be able to hold the binos the way I personally prefer - when eye cups slightly touch my eye sockets or brows.
Overall, the image quality, the build quality and the focusing mechanism are amazing, but from usability perspective these binos are not as good. I have never experienced such usability issues with my good old Leitz 8x32B.

Rock Delight

I was so impressed by your service from the moment I purchased to quick delivery, and very well packaged product and exactly what I ordered. Thank you . I will defiantly order again.

Not a bad accessory

The only reason I'd give this a 4 star over 5 is for the price, which is a little expensive for what it is. The hand controller is a fantastic addition and really helps when used for visual. Works and is designed perfectly.

Fabulous!

I used my Pentax 30 mm for the first time last night. The eyepiece provides a wide view that is clear right to the edges. Very comfortable for long viewing times. I am very happy with this purchase, which was recommended by Allstar in place an eyepiece that wasn't available. Excellent!

Mexican crazy lace agates

Purchased. Bag of crazy lace agates and was very disappointed in what I received.The rocks were small and we will be unable to cut them. Only three rocks had agate in them and the others were host rocks. I paid $43 for the bag. I spoke to Rick who was not very helpful with customer service. He told me to purchase another bag and I may get something in that bag. I will not be purchasing anything from them anymore
Thanks,
DC

iOptron SkyTracker-Pro [STP] (3322)

Awesome purchase experience

I have shopped around and I find that All Star has the best products and advice.

Must have

Perfect lightweight for on the go.

Botswana Agate

Beautiful rough Botswana Agate. Just as described. Fast shipping. Highly recommended.

Bob’s **** for Telrad

Larger & much easier to grip with cold weather gear on your pinkies. I found the included directions did not work for me. I just removed the four screws holding the **** backing plate in place. Once there, it was easy to re & re the ****. As an added bonus, my friend Bob is using the Bob’s **** logo on his electic guitar. I would buy Bob’s **** again.
