21.01.2022 Stunning astronomy photography to drool over... https://www.rmg.co.uk//astr/galleries/2019/overall-winners

21.01.2022 Christmas Gift Ideas for all the family - The Dobsonian telescopes are named after John Dobson, an amateur astronomer who designed a very simple but effective telescope, where the key factor is a large aperture for little money. His idea was to mount a Newton telescope on an easy-to-use alt-azimuth mount that does not need time-consuming alignments. The Sky-Watcher 6 Dobsonian is a large aperture Newtonian reflector telescope with f/8 focal ratio, make it ideal for wide-fie...ld and deep-sky observation. Big aperture means better light gathering power and with this Sky-Watcher Telescope you are able to see prominent deep-sky objects such as nebulae, star cluster and many more. To top it off, the Sky-Watcher Classic Dobsonians are equipped with a 2 Crayford focuser and focuser locking screw to allow easy use of either eyepiece size. Tension Control System The Tension Control System allows you to adjust the friction setting; to increase or reduce the amount of resistance when moving the tube on the wooden mount, so you always have the appropriate resistance. The secret of the design is to correctly balance the optical tube with the specially designed handles (found on the base) and this adds enough friction and tension to allow the tube to move easily when nudged or to stay solidly in position. In The Box: Finderscope 6X30 straight version Eyepiece 1.25 Super 25mm (48x) Eyepiece 1.25 Super 10mm (120x) Eyepiece adaptor from 2 to 1.25 with M42 thread 2 Tube Extension User Manual _______________________________ Want to know more - ask our in store experts and grab a gift the whole family will enjoy.

15.01.2022 This is a quality telescope at an affordable price. Ideal for anyone getting into sky watching. Buy online or call/message us for details. ----------------------------------------------... The Sky-Watcher Black Diamond 130/650 Photo Reflector OTA is a 130mm aperture Newtonian reflector with diffraction-limited optics, all the light-gathering power you need for visual use or astrophotography! Newtonian reflector telescopes are among the most cost-effective design on the market, reaching much larger apertures than an equivalently priced refractor. The large aperture will help resolve faint, extended objects like nebulae and galaxies, whilst the 650mm focal length will reveal fine details of lunar craters. The 130/650 Photo Reflector is equipped with an excellent Crayford dual speed focuser allowing fast, coarse regulation followed by a precise 10:1 reduction adjustment knob to reach the optimal focus. A 3 element 28mm LET eyepiece is provided, allowing 23x magnification and a 56 apparent field of view with 20mm of eye relief. The aluminised primary mirror is aspheric (parabolic profile) offering an optical system free from spherical aberration. The secondary mirror is thin to allow fast cooling and it is held by extra thin spider supports for minimal diffraction spike effects on bright stars and increased contrast. https://adelaideoptical.net.au//skywatcher-black-diamond-1
