WD-17 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.

The best seller of the quintuplet series, the FRA500 90mm; It is an instrument suitable for astrophotography.

Thanks to the quintuplet spaced in the air, it provides a flattened field up to 44mm diagonally without the addition of further flatteners/reducers.

Hybrid equatorial mount with harmonic drive in AR and crown with VSF in declination

***Tripod not included

• 8” (203.2mm) f/10 EdgeHD includes StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission
• EdgeHD optical design fully corrects for coma and field curvature, delivering a truly flat field
• The most compact and portable of Celestron’s German equatorial mounts offers the same rigidity as our larger mounts with minimal flexure and an improved industrial design 
• Holds a maximum instrument capacity of 30 lb
• Every feature an astroimager wants: PEC, an autoguider port, the ability to image across the meridian, and more
• NEW dual saddle plate is compatible with narrow CG-5 dovetails and wider CGE dovetail. Also compatible with Vixen format dovetails longer than 100mm, but not compatible with Losmandy D format plates.
• Latitude range allows the mount to perform between 7° and 77° latitude
• Accessories include a 40mm eyepiece, 1.25” star diagonal and 9x50 finderscope

• 9.25” (235mm) f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain includes StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission

• Explore the Universe and control your NexStar Evolution telescope with the free Celestron SkyPortal app for iOS and Android!
• Compact, portable 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with StarBright XLT optical coatings and Fastar compatibility
• Computerized GoTo mount with high-performance brass worm gears and motors for improved tracking accuracy, along with reduced gear backlash
• Rechargeable lithium-iron phosphate battery with enough power for 10 hours of continuous observing
• Improved industrial design with manual clutches and integrated carry handles, plus the added convenience of two accessory trays and a USB charge port for your smart device

• Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
• Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
• NEW Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift.
• Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust.
• Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
• CGE dovetail mounting rail.
• Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 390-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.

Spotting-scope ideal for birdwatching and nature observation!

The Leica APO-Televid 82 features apochromatically corrected optics combined with the new FL lenses and an 82 mm diameter objective increase the light yield by more than 6 % and the imaging performance is clearly visible when viewing the finest, natural details and structures in the highest possible resolution.

The Leica Ultravid 50 HD-Plus models provide excellent contrast and outstanding image brightness that other binoculars with larger front-lens diameters can hardly rival. Fluoride lenses ensure optimum clarity and resolving power. Thanks to their large objective lens diameter, they are particularly suitable for use in twilight and the early evening hours.

The Leica Ultravid 50 HD-Plus is available with a magnification factor of 8x, 10x or 12x.
