• AstroSolar® ECO-size Safety Film 5.0 for solar observation and photography at high magnification
• Size: ca. 140 x 155 mm, incl. DIY-instructions and DIY cutting-template – telescope quality – Optical Density (OD) = 5.0
• Safe for visual solar observation (with additional optics) and imaging
• This highest precision film consistently produces strehl ratios of 94 to 96 percent at interferometric tests – thus it performs optically like a Fluorite Triplet Lens by Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics
• For more than 25 years on the market, the only film-material made to not deteriorate the optical wavefront, it does allow to attain high magnification with any long-range optics without reducing sharpness or contrast of the solar surface.
• The film is from the same material as our proven AstroSolar® Safety Filme 5.0 in A4-size, due to high demand now availble in a smaller size at an economical price, suitable as solar filter for small telescopes, finders, binoculars, spotting scopes and camera lenses

• This highest precision film consistently produces strehl ratios of 94 to 96 percent at interferometric tests – thus it performs optically like a Fluorite Triplet Lens by Carl Zeiss or Astro Physics
• AstroSolar Safety Film is best suited for precision work with all astronomical telescopes and binoculars – just as well as for all photographic camera- and tele-lenses
• For more than 25 years on the market, the only film-material made to not deteriorate the optical wavefront, it does allow to attain high magnification with any long-range optics without reducing sharpness or contrast of the solar surface.

The 8" Ritchey-Chrétien is the perfect telescope for astrophotography, but it is also suitable for visual observation.

• ♦ Aperture 8" / 203 mm - focal length 1624 mm - focal ratio f/8
• ♦ Hyperbolic primary and secondary mirror for very high sharpness on the optical axis and a large well-corrected field for astrophotography
• ♦ Both mirrors made of fused silica for stable focus position
• ♦ 99% high-reflectivy coating on main and secondary mirror for an even brighter image and more contrast - special service from TS
• ♦ Quicker cooling down thanks to open construction and primary mirror ventilation
• ♦ Two Vixen style dovetail bars supplied - ideal for accessories like guiding scopes or a piggyback camera mount
• ♦ High-quality 2" dual speed MONORAIL focuser with 2" / 1.25" reduction adapter - motor focuser optionally available
• ♦ RC correctors for larger sensors from APS-C upwards are optionally available

• The Celestron 2.5x Luminos Barlow increases the magnification of any 2” or 1.25” eyepiece by two and a half times
• High-quality 4-element optics produce a flat field for sharp images that are free of extraneous color
• Hard-anodized aluminum barrel is threaded to accept 2” filters
• A brass compression ring holds eyepieces firmly in place, and large thumbscrews are easy to turn, even with gloves on
• A 2” to 1.25” adapter is included.  Allows the use of both 2” and 1.25” eyepieces.

WD-17S is the first harmonic drive mount based on Servo Direct Drive technology. It has only single stage reducer – backlash less strain wave reducer, and eliminate the transmission/assembly error from belt/planetary gear solution. That’s why we called “harmonic drive” mount, providing high precision guiding performance to you.
The mount weighs 4.3kg and carries telescopes up to 13.5kg without a counterweight. With the counterweight and counterweight rod (optional with M12 thread) the mount can also carry telescopes weighing up to 20 kg.
Optimize base can be smoothly fine adjusted with CNC fine tooth screw and gap control design, which make it much easier for polar alignment.

Ideal entry-level model with output of linear and equivalent horizontal range (EHR) from 10m to 1,100m / 1,200yds
High-precision rangefinding up to 1,800m / 2,000yds
Outstanding, easy-to-read LED display with automatic brightness control
Brilliant, clear image, high level of detail – even at twilight
