Telescopes and Accessories



Telescopes

 

A telescope is as unique and individual as its user. Choosing a telescope that's right for you and your budget is an important decision. When buying your first telescope, it might be tempting to purchase a department store model - but these telescopes are often unsatisfactory and lead to disappointment. For about the same investment, you can purchase an astronomical telescope for the beginning astronomer which offers a lifetime of use and fascination.


CCD Cameras

 

Although there's just a bit more to it than that, CCD imaging is one of the fastest growing fields of astrophotography. Unlike traditional film cameras which only captures about 2% of gathered light, CCD cameras can respond up to 70%. - making them amazingly efficient for astronomy applications. If you are just beginning astrophotography - or are an advanced professional - we can provide everything you require for CCD imaging. Now, step this way and let me introduce you to our products...
