Enjoy a wide-field window into the heavens served up by Stratus eyepieces. With an apparent field of 68-deg -- which translates to a 71% greater viewing area than that of a typical Plossl -- Stratus eyepieces quite literally put more stars in your eyes. In the same way you feel more a part of the action watching a big-screen TV, with Stratus you will feel like you are really experiencing your celestial targets, rather than just viewing them from afar. Each ocular features a monster 1-1/4"-diameter eye lens to look into. Each also has a generous 20mm of eye relief, so you'll get the "big picture" even if you wear eyeglasses. The optics are fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission to your eyes, and the lens edges are blackened to ensure excellent contrast. Stratus eyepieces fit in both 1.25" and 2" focusers. Each is threaded for filters and comes with protective lens caps.Price: $139.95

Not all tripods are created equal. Some can be bulky and heavy, others spindly and unstable. Tritechs are neither-they're just right. They fill the need for portability without sacrificing strength. From their aluminum, closed-channel legs to their two-way fluid pan head, Tritech tripods are well-suited for almost any viewing or photographic situation. Mount your field glasses, spotting scope, or camera on the quick-release shoe; it locks in tight, with no "play." The elevator crank adjusts the head up or down 12" to the desired height. The Tritechs' three-section channel legs have an anodized pewter-tone finish and are center-braced to enhance stability. Clamp-style leg locks open and close in a snap (literally). A great value!

The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is intensely bright with reflected sunlight. The glare washes out most of the craters, rilles, and other surface details from view. Our Moon Filter reduces the glare, allowing transmission of only 13% of the reflected light. Not only will you see more surface features, but you can study them in greater comfort. The filter reduces irradiation, which is the distortion at the boundary between light and dark areas, such as along the lunar terminator. The Orion Moon Filter is especially useful to owners of large-aperture scopes, in which the Moon's brightness can be overwhelming. It uniformly reduces light over the entire visible spectrum. Screws into threaded eyepiece barrel.

The Orion Scope Cloak Telescope Cover is an affordable and easy to use telescope cover that protects your equipment from dust, dirt, dew, and sunlight. Large aperture equatorial and altazimuth-mounted telescopes can easily be kept clean and tidy with this Scope Cloak. Mounted reflectors up to 10" (254mm) in aperture and refractors up to 120mm (4.7") in aperture and up to f/8.3 focal ratio can be conveniently sheltered from the elements. Keep your telescope set-up and ready for viewing in your garage, shed, or home observatory without worrying about dust and dirt contamination. Orion's Scope Cloak is made of a high-tech tear-resistant and water-resistant material that keeps your optics free of dew. The highly reflective exterior surface rejects solar radiation, keeping your telescope cool when left in sunlight and reduces "cool-down time" (the amount of time required for your telescope to reach thermal equilibrium after nightfall). The Scope Cloak Telescope Cover prevents dust form contaminating telescope optical surfaces, reducing the need to perform delicate and tedious cleaning procedures. A handy locking drawstring provides a snug fit once installed on your telescope. The Orion Scope Cloak Telescope Cover for Large Mounted Telescopes is designed for temporary outdoor use and is not intended to be used for permanent unsheltered outdoor storage. A handy nylon carrying pouch is included.
The Sigma cleaning cloth is made of micro-fiber material that is also anti-static for easy cleaning and use. It is the perfect way to safely maintain and clean your lenses, camera and binocular optics. Also included is a clip-on carry case.

The telescope design has two 8.4-meter (28 ft) mirrors mounted on a common base, hence the name "binocular". LBT takes advantage of active and adaptive optics, provided by Arcetri Observatory. The collecting area is equivalent to an 11.8 meters (39 ft) circular aperture, greater than any other single telescope. Also, an interferometric mode will be available, with a maximum baseline of 22.8 meters (75 ft) for aperture synthesis imaging observations and a baseline of 15 meters (49 ft) for nulling interferometry.

The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is intensely bright with reflected sunlight. The glare washes out most of the craters, rilles, and other surface details from view. Our Moon Filter reduces the glare, allowing transmission of only 13% of the reflected light. Not only will you see more surface features, but you can study them in greater comfort. The filter reduces irradiation, which is the distortion at the boundary between light and dark areas, such as along the lunar terminator. The Orion Moon Filter is especially useful to owners of large-aperture scopes, in which the Moon's brightness can be overwhelming. It uniformly reduces light over the entire visible spectrum. Screws into threaded eyepiece barrel.
