Bought this for a Explore Scientific ED102-FCD100 for the purposes of astrophotography and specifically planets such as Saturn & Jupiter. A major difference in imaging over a 2x barlow that has been used in the past. Image is magnified and still ...

Meade Series 5000 2" Enhanced Dielectric Diagonal w/ SCT Adapter # 07680
Poorly constructed
I bought this in September 2018 to use with my Tel-Vue 2" eyepieces. The barrel eyepiece receiver on the diagonal came loose and would wobble making it less secure to hold any eyepiece in place. I bought this setup to make it easier to move the ...

BST 1.25" Variable Transmission Polarizing Filter
1.25" Variable Polarizer
This is great for lunar viewing. I can vary the polarity for the best contrast and brightness for viewing specific features and areas of the moon. I generally use half of my 2" polarizer on the front of the diagonal, and half of the 1.25" ...

Meade Series 4000 #126 1.25" 2x Short-Focus Barlow Lens # 07273
Better than a Telescope's Pack-In
This is much better in build and optical quality than what you would get included in a Telecope Package. Definitely replace the one you got with your scope with this one.

Tele Vue DIOPTRX Astigmatism Corrector - 3.50 # DRX-0350
A real asset for those of us with astigmatism
I was having trouble viewing with my eyeglasses, but without them it was totally pointless. Someone recommended the Tele Vue Dioptrx. I compared my prescription to their options and decided the strongest (3.5) correction was probably best. I'm a...

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Excellent barlow
Nice price for a quality 2" Barlow. I like the fact I can unscrew the lens from the Barlow tube and screw it into my 2" eyepieces. Keep up the great work!

Optolong Ultra High Contrast UHC Nebula Filter - 1.25"

Finder holder
Great item. Even though the description says “blemish” I can’t find anything wrong with it. Be aware that this is a short holder and that it not give enough clearance over the main OTA.
