Top viewfinder telescope with upright field, illumination, 90° view and pole viewfinder engraving - image sharpness and viewing behavior raise this viewfinder significantly above the level of the usual 8x50 viewfinder telescopes. The upright image field facilitates orientation. Multi-Coating on all surfaces. This polar finder is mainly intended for the observer with a transportable telescope. The 90° view facilitates operation, and with the help of the pole scale and the lighting, a telescope can be quickly and safely aligned to the celestial pole. The upright field of view makes the handling together with the high image sharpness a pleasant experience. The lighting is powered by two LR41 button cells.

A very good diagonal mirror for telescopes with 2" focuser and for the BRESSER Messier telescopes with a 2.5"- HEX focuser. Enables the use of eyepieces and accessories with 2" barrel, so that a wider field of view can be reached. A larger light beam and a comfortable observation position is achieved by this 2 inch zenith mirror. Especially for use with refractors and for zenith observations a useful accessory.  The clamping ring is made of brass, so there will be no scratch marks on your high-quality eyepiece. The precise clamping is another advantage. The BRESSER 2" Diagonal Mirror is completely made of metal and has a very accurate flat mirror. The dielectrical coating delivers a 93% reflectance and is very durable against enviromental influences. FEATURES Star diagonal mirror for focuser with 2" barrel High quailty flat mirror Dielectrical mirror coating delivers a 93% reflectance Very durable against enviromental influencesEyepiece adapter 1.25/2.0 inch includedBrass eyepiece clamping ring Housing completely made of metal Dust caps included SCOPE OF DELIVERY diagonal mirroreyepice adapter 1.25/2.0 inch dust caps

Enter the world of astrophotography now. With the new BRESSER HD moon and planet camera with ST4 autoguider function. This camera is very good for astrophotography with short exposure times, i.e. for celestial objects like the moon, planets or star clusters. For astrophotography with long exposure times for low light deep sky objects, like galaxies and gas nebulae, we recommend the BRESSER Full HD Deep-Sky Camera (Art. No. 4959050) instead, with it's even higher resolution and sensor sensitivity. Equipped with the new high-sensitivity SONY IMX225 CMOS colour sensor, the BRESSER HD moon and planet camera delivers amazing image results with very short exposure times, even with simple telescope equipment. In addition, this ultra-modern camera can also be used as an autoguider, e.g. to actively track the main imaging device with SLR or CCD astro camera. A universal CMOS colour camera that delivers super-sharp lunar and planetary images in particular. The particularly low noise level of this new chip generation from SONY, ensures an exceptionally high brilliance and no cooling is required. Due to the high native pixel resolution of 1280x980, together with suitable telescopes, very beautiful images of the moon, but also detailed planetary images are possible. The ToupSky pro software included in the scope of delivery not only offers the necessary basic functions for image and video recording, but also many helpful special functions for image post-processing and for setting up the Guider. Functions such as live image display, exposure settings, white balance, dark image capture, stacking, timelapse recordings and much more can be individually configured. Especially the very sophisticated software makes it really easy for you to get started in astrophotography. With the automatic settings, you can produce absolutely presentable results without much prior knowledge. If you wish, simply switch off the automatic settings and gradually venture into the individual professional settings. Connect the camera directly to the ST4 connector of your telescope mount and you have fully automatic tracking control. This makes long exposures of several minutes possible without the stars producing unwanted line marks due to the ever-present synchronisation fluctuations of a telescope mount. A corresponding ST-4 connection cable is even included with the camera. Due to the high light sensitivity of the camera, you will always find a suitable guide star even with very short exposure times. For connection to guide tubes or off-axis guiders, the camera has a 1.25" plug-in sleeve, 1.25" filter thread (M28.5x0.6) and C-mount thread (1 "x1/32"). IMPORTANT NOTES: This is not a stand-alone guider camera. You always need a Windows 10 / 11 computer to take pictures and for autoguiding. The autoguider software is not included. You can use PHD2 Guiding, Guidedog, Metaguide, Guidemaster (freeware) or AstroArt, MaxIm DL (paid).

With a new optical design and an extremely high resolution, the Vixen BT126SS binoculars provide a considerably more detailed view for astronomical observations. The BT126SS binocular telescope features two 126 mm achromatic object lenses, which provide 300% more light than the naked eye. With these binoculars, you can observe the stars at night and view far away objects in nature during the day. They are great for observing globular clusters, gas nebula, the moon with its craters and even the planets on a clear night. They also allow you to view far away objects in detail, including nature, landscapes, ships and planes. With the binoculars from the Vixen BT-series, you can get up close to anything. Thanks to the large, high-aperture lenses and cutting-edge coatings on all lens surfaces, these binoculars generate stunningly bright images even at night and at twilight. The user-friendly 45-degree eyepieces ensure fatigue-free use even at high elevation angles. The magnesium fluoride coating reduces chromatic aberration and the large aperture of 126 mm ensures a razor-sharp, contrast-rich image.Weighing just 19.4 kg, the BT-126SS-A binocular telescope set is very transportable.The binoculars also feature a metal carry handle for easy transport and additional stability when setting up the tripod. The Vixen HF2 fork mount provides additional stability and ease of use.The BT 126SS-A features a 1.25-inch eyepiece connection and allows you to change the eyepieces for different magnifications. Each eyepiece has an individual focus and an independent eyepiece plate for adjusting the interpupillary distance.FEATURES Objective lenses: 126 mm 2-lens achromat, multi-coated Focal length: 625 mm Resolution and limiting magnitude: 0.93 arc seconds; 12.3 Mag Light-gathering power: 324x Dimensions and weight: 630 x 360 x 200 mm; 19.4 kg Adapter and connections: 31.7 mm clamp DELIVERY CONTENT HF2 fork mount SXG-HAL130 tripod Carry handle Viewfinder Dew caps2 SLV 20 mm eyepieces

Thanks to the large aperture of 50 mm, the Vixen 7x50 finder scope immediately reveals many objects that are not visible in smaller viewfinders. This makes it easy to adjust the telescope to the target object. The red illumination of the finder scope can be dimmed to different levels.The eyepiece is detachable (31.7 mm diameter) so that a CMOS camera with 31.7 mm diameter (available separately) can be attached and used as an autoguider. The eyepiece unit with crosshairs is also removable in order to use 31.7 mm diameter eyepieces (sold separately) with different focal lengths. This allows the finder scope to be operated with various magnifications.The lens is designed to be compatible with CMOS cameras. The distance between the bottom of the 31.7 mm sleeve on the camera side and the sensor surface should be approximately 17 mm. However, the focus position may vary depending on the camera, so you should adjust the guiding camera for focus before use. The focus of the optics is adjusted by rotating the lens. First, the black lock ring on the main optics must be loosened. Then, the focus can be adjusted by turning the lens mount. Please also read the operating instructions for the viewfinder and the CMOS camera used.If the focus of the viewfinder has been adjusted, the focus position must be readjusted when using the eyepiece unit.FEATURESMagnification: 7xAperture: 50 mmLenses: coatedCrosshairs: illuminated in red, dimmableDimensions: 220 mm × Ø 58 mmWeight: 467 gSCOPE OF DELIVERY7x50 viewfinderEyepiece unit with illuminationCR2032 batteryInstruction manual
