Vixen SG-L02 Headlamp red-light white-light
The perfect LED head torch for nighttime observations! Adjusting your eyes to the dark surroundings is very important when making astronomical observations. In dark areas, it is very difficult to use astronomical equipment without a suitable light. With normal lights, however, the light intensity is more important than protecting your eyes against bright light. Using these lights at night makes your pupils contract, which can make it difficult for your eyes to readjust to the darkness. The SG-L01, our first astronomy LED lamp, featured a built-in red LED that provided a solution to this problem. However, the red light did not offer optimal visibility. On our new astronomy LED light, the SG-L02, the LED lights produce warm light to improve visibility. They also ensure that your eyes stay adapted to the dark. The LEDs do not emit light in the sensitive range of 555 nm. The brightness of the white light can be adjusted between 3 and 42 lumen, while the red light can be adjusted between 0.28 and 7.62 lumen. FEATURES Dimmable red light ensures that your eyes stay adapted to the dark Built-in rechargeable battery, charges via USB Waterproof design LED colour can be switched from red to white 0.28 to 7.62 lumen for red light 3 to 42 lumen for white light Dimensions: 41 mm x 33 mm x 30 mm Weight: 29 g DELIVERY CONTENT SG-L02 head torch Strap (size S) Strap (size L) Pocket clip Cable for charging the battery (USB-A plug to USB Micro-B plug)

BRESSER JUNIOR Refractor Telescope 70/900 EL
Observing the stars like a professional - very easy with the BRESSER JUNIOR refractor telescope 70/700 EL. It is a complete system for the exploration of the wonders of the universe, consisting of telescope, mount, tripod and all accessories needed. With an aperture of 70 mm it reveils already many details of celestial objects. The mount can not only swing the telescope left / right and up / down, it can also be used in a so-called equatorial mode, as scientists do in their observatories (see further under Special features). An additional finder scope mounted on the telescope is useful for locating celestial objects. With the erecting lens many exciting things in the environment can also be seen during daytime. With the height-adjustable tripod, the telescope can each be brought to an optimal height for large or small observers. The supplied diagonal mirror ensures a comfortable viewing. At night the moon and planets may like Saturn and Jupiter can be explored. But thanks to the 70 mm wide aperture of the telescope also many celestial objects outside our solar system are within the reach of this telescope. Star clusters many light years away and nebula impress young and old stargazers. SPECIAL FEATURESMounting with wedge: At first glance, the NG mount of the refractor telescope 90/700 NG is a very ordinary azimuth mount: an axis for left / right and one for up / down, as we know it from normal camera tripods. This mode makes sense especially with observations during the day. With the built-in wedge it can be tilted, so the whole mount can be converted to an equatorial mount for astronomy with a single operation. For use of the equatorial mount an axis is aligned with the North Star. When tracking a celestial object only a single axis needs to be moved, which clearly is a relief compared to tracking an object on the night sky with mounts that only have left / right and up / down axis.

BRESSER Pegasus 130/650 EQ3 Reflector Telescope with Accessories
Who doesn't dream of exploring the beauties of the universe with their own eyes? This complete telescope set allows you to make your first celestial observations immediately and very easily. It contains everything you need for your new hobby: a reflector telescope with 130 mm aperture and 650 mm focal length, an equatorial mount, a tripod and extensive accessories for astronomical observations. The system is easy to operate and very flexible. You can look forward to fascinating views of the Moon and planets. Star clusters and gas nebulae also look impressive through the user-friendly entry-level telescope. Easy start with the astronomy all-rounder – the telescope The set includes a true classic among the reflector telescopes, a so-called Newtonian reflector. With this type of telescope, you look in at the front of the tube instead of at the back. The advantage: the observing position always remains comfortable, even when the telescope is pointed vertically upwards. In addition to observing comfort, reflectors also impress with their optical performance. After all, they are absolutely free of chromatic aberrations and thus offer good imaging properties. Due to its 130 mm aperture, the entry-level telescope already collects a lot of light from the celestial objects. In addition, there is the short focal ratio (ratio of the aperture to the focal length) of 1 to 5 (F/5), which derives from the 130 mm aperture and the 650 mm focal length. As a result, the fast beginner's telescope shows a bright image and enables high magnifications. You also benefit from the flexibility of this astronomical telescope: Admire the fascinating view of open and globular clusters such as M13 in the constellation Hercules at low to medium magnification. Or marvel at gas nebulae such as the famous Orion Nebula M42. At high magnifications, on the other hand, the entry-level telescope brings you closer to the impressive planets and exciting details on our Moon. How big do the astronomical eye-catchers appear? Due to the resolving power achieved with the aperture of 130 mm, the telescope shows you sharp images at magnifications up to about 260x. With the included accessories, you can already reach 195x. The technology allows even more, but the image sharpness can decrease at even higher magnifications. However, it is not only the telescope that determines how much you can magnify. It also depends on the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions). Note for nature lovers: If you choose a Newtonian telescope like the Pegasus reflector telescope, you can look forward to a specialist in astronomical observation. However, the image is always displayed laterally reversed as well as upside down, which makes no difference when observing the sky. However, this type of telescope is less suitable for nature and landscape observation during the day. Would you like to use your new telescope for exciting nature discoveries as well? Then we recommend that you choose one of the BRESSER refractor telescopes. User-friendly base – mount and tripod Found the perfect place for your celestial observations? Then you can start installing your astronomical telescope on the height-adjustable stainless steel tripod with equatorial mount. The advantage over azimuthal mounts: you only have to move along one axis instead of two. The reason is that you align the other one parallel to the earth's axis beforehand. This so-called "alignment" is very easy: you simply point the axis approximately at Polaris. In addition, the mount comes equipped with two flexible shafts with fine adjustment. Perfect for aligning and tracking the telescope particularly precisely and comfortably. Everything always within reach: on the practical storage plate, your accessories are quickly at hand if needed.Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable! Complete astro package to start stargazing immediately – the accessories The comprehensive astronomy accessories make it easier for you to get started and enable you to see your favourite celestial bodies from completely different perspectives. To align the telescope and find your way around the night sky you can mount the LED finder parallel to the telescope. The method is simple: a red dot is projected onto a small ground-glass screen inside the viewfinder. When you look through the dot appears to hover in front of the sky – exactly at the point where the entry-level telescope is pointed. This way, you can easily find astronomical objects through the illuminated dot finder and then marvel at them in detail using the high magnification of your telescope. Vary your view of the stars: with the two eyepieces (10 mm and 25 mm), you can admire your nocturnal observation objects in two different magnifications. They are simply inserted into the eyepiece focuser of the telescope via their 1.25-inch-sockets, which is a standard diameter. You want to look even closer? Then the included 3x barlow lens can triple the magnification of the eyepieces. Explore the night sky on your own through the versatile BRESSER Pegasus 130/650 EQ3 reflector telescope. FEATURES Reflector telescope for beginners with 130 mm aperture and 650 mm focal length Reflector type: Newton Good for observing Moon, planets as well as star clusters and gas nebulae Height-adjustable tripod with equatorial EQ3 mount Precise positioning due to flexible shafts and fine adjustment in both axes Easy to use, very well suited for beginners Focal ratio F/5, thus well suited for many celestial objects 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) focuser Two eyepieces and a barlow lens with 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) sockets for different magnifications SCOPE OF DELIVERY Telescope Stainless steel tripod Equatorial EQ3 mount Eyepieces: 10 mm and 25 mm (1.25 inch sockets) Barlow lens 3x (1.25 inch socket) LED illuminated dot finder Accessory tray Astronomy software download Instruction manual
