Great inexpensive right angle finder
Not liking to bend over to view, I wanted a right angle finder scope. This fits the bill perfectly. Nothing fancy, but great optics, great price.

Eye Opening
I bought this 2" Focal reducer to give me more options when operating my camera for DSO imaging. I have not had a chance to use it yet because of the clouds, rain and cold temps up here in New England. It will give me F/5 straight up using my C8...

Works as described for the right application
This does exactly as described. I did find, however, that it was les than ideal for astronomical use. I wanted a right view for public night and it worked just fine. Perhaps out of long habit, I felt the conventional 90 degree was more comfortable. F...

GSO #29 deep red
This filter when combined with an IR/UV filter can be the first step toeard trying Ha imaging. The band width will be very wide but the combo is an inexpensive way try this segment of nebula imaging. I have numerous GSO products and have been satisfi...
GSO 1.25
GSO 1.25" 2.5x Apochromatic Barlow Lens # BL251
5.0
Excellent value!
I compared the GSO 2.5x apo barlow to a TeleVue 2x I had. First, this barlow functions as a 2.1x barlow, not a 2.5x. In any event, on Almach, the beautiful pair was easily separated in my 17mm Sterling Plossl and looked simply beautiful, orange prima...

StarSense SCT Base
I purchased a used StarSense via private party and discovered it was missing its large SCT base. This high-quality item allowed me to mount the SS to my CPC9.25 at a reasonable price. Shipping was prompt.

GSO 2" Photo-Visual Coma Corrector for Newtonian Telescopes
5.0
FIRST EXPERIENCE A GREAT ONE!
I purchased several GSO scopes from Agena. Two of the fast scopes, f:6 and f:5 in different apertures, showed a bit of coma, not untypical for fast RFT reflectors regardless of aperture. In the good old days, having owned fast Newtonians in the past,...
