If you have a telescope mounted on an EQ-1 equatorial mount, you can now enjoy automatic star-tracking for less money. The inexpensive AstroTrack DC electronic drive moves the telescope at the same rate the Earth rotates, to keep the object you’re observing in the scope’s field of view. Much more convenient than using the manual slow-motion controls to adjust the telescope’s position from minute to minute!

The AstroTrack’s precision DC servo motor has adjustable speed control. A disengage knob allows manual operation of the scope with the motor drive still attached. There are no cables or handboxes to deal with. The AstroTrack runs on a single 9-volt alkaline battery (included) that tucks away inside the motor housing. Installation is not difficult, and the bracket, mounting hardware, and illustrated instructions are all included.

The EZ Finder is a simple, but efficient point-where-you-want-to-go device for finding celestial objects. It superimposes a tiny, LED-powered red dot at infinity on the sky. When aligned with your telescope's field of view, the dot shows you exactly where your telescope is pointed. It's easier than a standard finder scope because what you see through the EZ Finder is a nonmagnified, naked-eye view of the sky that is correctly oriented, not upside down. The brightness of the dot, which is centered in a 10° field of view, can be adjusted to suit your preference. Thumbwheels allow positioning of the dot horizontally and vertically for precise alignment with the main telescope.

This adapter fits on the rear cell of the 127, 150 and 180mm Maks from Orion, Celestron, Skywatcher, etc, to allow the use of your 2" and T-thread accessories. Adapter has male SCT Schmidt threads that accept SCT focal reducers, adapters and diagonals. While the Maks
don't have a 2" light path, you can now use your existing goodies with the scope.

If you were to use only one filter, Celestron’s Skylight Filter/Dust Seal would be your most versatile choice. This general purpose, Wratten #1A filter improves color saturation and balance, increases visual and photographic contrast, helps to decrease glare in lunar and planetary observing, and penetrates atmospheric haze. It’s also an inexpensive way to protect your investment in quality optics. This filter threads onto the rear cell of your Celestron C5, C8, C9 1/4, C11 or C14 telescope to serve as an effective dust seal. By leaving the Skylight Filter/Dust Seal on when removing or attaching other visual accessories, you prevent dust and other atmospheric contaminants from entering the rear of your telescope. Needless to say, it’s much easier to clean a dusty filter than a dusty primary mirror, secondary mirror and corrector plate.

The Baader UV/IR filter is the only infrared blocker in this price range featuring a planeoptically polished substrate, parallel to within 30 seconds of arc! It is essentially a luminance filter. It improves the color balance of the single shot color CCD by blocking the near IR light. It can be placed behind a camera lens adapter and used to block the out of focus near IR light that causes stars to look bloated with using a typical 35mm camera lens to shoot wide field images.

These filters are awesome, amazingly scratch-resistant, and have a FIVE year warranty. The Astronomik H-ß filter is designed for visual observation of gas nebulas with larger scopes. Due to the extreme small band pass of the H-ß line, the filter will produce a maximum increase of contrast even under best observing conditions. At faint H-II nebulas, like the horsehead nebula, the H-ß filter often makes the difference that decides if the object can be seen or not.

The H-ß filter is to be used from an aperture of more than 8" (20cm) on. At smaller instruments there is not enough light available for a sensible use. Due to the well- known high optical quality of the glass substrate you will still see the needle-sharp stars that you know from your instruments.

The legendary LUMICON OIII narrow band-pass filter isolates just the two doubly ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by diffuse, planetary and extremely faint nebulae. Thus, these faint objects become much more visible against the blackened background of space. The Lumicon Oxygen III Filter produces near-photographic views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell and Orion nebula, among many other objects. Performs best under both light-polluted and dark skies. You will be amazed at what the OIII filter allows you to see!

The cells are aluminum and have three nylon thumb screws to facilitate a secure fit on the front of your telescope. The filter material itself is the famous BAADER AstroSolar Film. This film has set a new standard for white light filters and gives a very pleasing and high resolution image. The image color is a bluish white. This size fits the Orion ED80.

This versatile filter acts like a dimmer switch for your telescope, toning down the brightness of the Moon or planets to a level that is comfortable. The reduction in brightness and glare unmasks detail in your viewing subject and greatly improves contrast.

The filter consists of two high-grade glass polarizing filters in a rotating cell that allows you to adjust the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40%. Such control is highly desirable for lunar observing because the Moon's brightness varies with its phase. The filter is great for terrestrial observing too, especially on sunny days.

The filter has an anodized aluminum cell, which threads into the barrel of any standard eyepiece. Now available in 1.25" and 2" sizes. Storage case included..

The SkyGlow is an advanced multilayer "interference" filter designed to enhance deep-sky observing in moderately light-polluted skies. It blocks the most common wavelengths of light pollution - predominantly produced by mercury vapor lamps - and allows higher transmission of critical hydrogen-alpha and hydrogen-beta lines. Bright, light-polluted skies appear much darker in the field of view and contrast significantly enhanced, particularly emission nebulas like the Orion and Lagoon. Views of galaxies and clusters are also improved. Available in 1.25" and 2".

The UltraBlock is the filter for deep-sky observers located at highly light-polluted sites. Blocks all forms of light pollution - mercury vapor and sodium emission bands - while passing the critical hydrogen-beta and ionized oxygen wavelengths. With an UltraBlock, emission and planetary nebulas "surface" from the washed out background sky. In dark skies, the UltraBlock also enhances the sky presence of a significant number of fainter deep-sky objects over unfiltered and wideband-filtered views. Available in 1.25" and 2".

This set includes four essential 2" optical glass filters and a durable plastic storage case that holds them all! You get a Moon filter to cut lunar glare, #25 red and #80A medium blue color filters to bring out subtle planetary detail, and a SkyGlow light pollution filter to enhance contrast of all objects, but particularly of emission nebulas, in moderately light-polluted skies. Anodized aluminum cells. Perfect for stargazers of any level of experience. A nice savings over purchasing filters individually!

A 7-amp hour battery should be enough to run most telescopes for quite awhile before recharging is necessary. The Power Tank has two 12V output cigarette lighter ports. There are three 5mm pin-jack outlets for operating accessories (1 amp max)...a 3V, a 6V and a 9V. There is a built-in flashlight with a red filter cap. There is an 800,000 candle-power halogen emergency spotlight built into the unit. Includes a 220/110V AC recharger. A DC power cord is included, meant exclusively for Celestron telescopes. If you plan to use this power source on a Meade scope, you will still need a #607 (or equivalent) DC power cord. Finally, there is a built-in circuit breaker in the unit, and separate on-off switches for the battery and flashlights.
