Make your focusing for astrophotography an easy and magic task. About Bahtinov mask The Bahtinov mask is a device used to focus small astronomical telescopes accurately. It was invented by Russian amateur astrophotographer Pavel Bahtinov in 2008. Accurate focusing of telescopes and astrographs is particularly of concern to those involved in astrophotography. The telescope is pointed at a bright star, and a mask is placed in front of the telescope's objective (e.g. primary mirror). How does it work? Set up your telescope and imaging equipment as normal. Then simply locate a bright star (maybe Spica?) with your telescope, attach the Bahtinov mask to your telescope and watch the diffraction spike pattern around the star as you adjust the focus. When the middle diffraction spike is centered in the outer spikes, you're in focus. Very little focusing travel is required to move the inner diffraction spike, which means the focus is extremely accurate. Program type> Suitable for telescopes for Dew Shield or Front Outer Diameter From 75mm -114mm (2.95inch - 4.5nch) - For 80mm, 100mm, 102mm ED Skywatcher and Other Refractors Package Include: Bahtinov Mask 3 X Brass bolt P.S:

Bahtinov focus mask excellent focusing aid for astro imaging Suitable for telescopes up to 195 - 240mm front diameter, Universal adaptation, two bolts with plastic cover allow the mask to be simply attached to any telescope Bahtinov Masks are the perfect focusing aid for astro imaging. You can identify with absolute certainty when you have reached perfect focus. You no longer need to stick to focus by trial and error! TS-Optics Bahtinov Focusing Mask for Telescopes up to 70mm aperture for more precise and faster focusing How to attach the mask to the telescope Each mask is supplied with a pair of bolts and fitting plastic covers. Just push the bolts through the holes in the mask and slide the covers onto the bolts from the other side. Now the mask can be simply hinged onto the dewcap or the telescope tube. This adaptation is very universal and fits for widely varying tube diameters.

The Astromania 1.25" Variable Universal Camera Adapters allow attachment of a camera body to reflector and refractor telescopes for either prime-focus or telescope eyepiece-projection photography. The adapter's 1.25" nosepiece slides into the telescope's eyepiece holder just like an eyepiece. This Variable Universal Camera Adapter is composed of two detachable parts: a prime-focus adapter (or "T-adapter") for prime-focus photography, and a fixed-length or variable extension tube for eyepiece-projection photography. A thumbscrew in the extension tube holds the telescope eyepiece in place. This combination of prime-focus and eyepiece-projection camera adapter has a sliding barrel design that allows variable projection distances. This allows for slight changes in magnification without swapping telescope eyepieces when performing eyepiece-projection photography. Fits reflector and refractor telescopes with 1.25" eyepiece holders. The Variable Projection Camera Adapter allows for a continuous range of projection magnifications during eyepiece-projection photography for telescopes with a 1.25" focuser.The machined sliding-cell assembly can be fixed at any position along its length and is held in position via a thumbscrew. The resulting effective focal ratio is then determined by the sliding adjustment and eyepiece used. A T-ring specific to your D/SLR camera is required to connect your camera to this adapter (not included).

Its job is to reduce the relative brightness of the object to make viewing more comfortable. This also often means that you will be able to see more detail. Main use of the filter is for observing the moon and the bright planets. The filter offers a neutral grey image throughout most of its filter range. Brightness can be adjusted approximately from 1% through 40%.

Useful telescope eyepiece filter transmits 25 percent of incoming light. Ideal for viewing crescent Moon phases and for lunar viewing in smaller-aperture telescopes, for which less dimming is required. We are able to see the Moon at night thanks to sunlight reflecting off its rocky surface. When looking at the Moon through a telescope, bright reflected sunlight can produce significant glare. The Moon's disk, even at partial phases, is in fact so intensely bright with reflected sunlight that observing surface details can be challenging due to the overwhelming glare. This glare can be so bright that it washes out most of the interesting lunar features such as craters, riles, mountains, and valleys. The considerable brightness also reduces contrast on our nearest neighbor in the solar system. When the Moon is in its crescent phase, it does not produce as much glare as when it is full or waxing, but filtration is still recommended to achieve optimal view quality. When looking at the Moon in relatively small (60mm-80mm) telescopes, the brightness is not as distracting as in larger telescopes, but some filtration is required to get the best observations. To improve contrast and tone down glare easily in these situations, we recommend using a neutral-density 1.25 inch Orion 25 percent Transmission Moon Filter. This inexpensive accessory threads directly into a 1.25 inch eyepiece barrel and blocks 75 percent of the light gathered by the telescope, making for more comfortable lunar views exhibiting higher contrast. Once installed on a 1.25 inch telescope eyepiece, the Orion 25 percent Transmission Moon Filter will bring out considerably more lunar surface details thanks to the boosted contrast. Not only will more surface features and details pop out, but you can study them in greater comfort, thanks to Moon Filter reducing overall brightness without altering color.
