  • General safety instructions DANGER Risk of suffocation! Improper use of this product can result in suffocation, especially for children. Therefore, carefully observe the following safety instructions. Keep packaging materials (plastic bags, rubber bands, etc.) away from children! There is a risk of suffocation! Keep cords, ribbons, and similar materials away from children! They could accidentally strangle themselves and suffocate! NOTE Risk of material damage! Improper handling can damage the device and/or accessories. Therefore, only use the device according to the following safety instructions. Do not dismantle the device! In the case of a defect, contact your dealer. They will contact the service center and may send the device in for repair.
  • Never look at the sun through an eyepiece/telescope without a certified protection filter. A moon filter can never be used for solar observation. The moon filter is only suitable for moon observation. The solar filter must be mounted in front of the telescope opening, not at the eyepiece. Otherwise, the concentrated light beam through the optics will immediately destroy the filter foil, leading to severe eye damage, including permanent blindness.
  • Never leave the optics unattended. Children and inexperienced adults could point the telescope at the sun without proper precautions and lose their eyesight.
  • Do not expose the device to high temperatures.

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)

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC 114/900 Reflector Telescope AZ
This reflecting telescope shows not only the big planets, but also bright deep-sky objects when you are observing under dark skies. Fully equipped, and with a mount that is easy to use, this telescope is ideal for a beginner that has no astronomical knowledge, but wants to immerse him or herself in space. Explore the moons and cloud bands of Jupiter or the majestic rings of Saturn, or find other galaxies, star clusters and nebula on a moonless night. Please note: Reflector telescopes with optical design “Newton” are very good for astronomical observing at the starry night sky. But these telescopes are not well usable for observing landscape and nature during daylight. Therefore we suggest refractor (lens) telescopes for landscape and nature observing.

BRESSER 16x42 STABILIZER OIS Binoculars with image stabilizer
High magnification, steady image: The BRESSER 16x42 STABILIZER OIS Binoculars with an image stabilizer allow you to achieve this without a tripod. The optical prism compensation with a 2-axis gimbal enables an impressive 16x magnification without any annoying blurring. Thanks to the image stabilizer, the binoculars can even compensate for micro-vibrations and the smallest of hand movements. The result: a steady field of view without a tripod, giving you outstanding comfort and a remarkable wealth of detail in razor-sharp images. In addition, thanks to the large objective lens diameter of 42 mm, the image-stabilized binoculars collect 40% more light than binoculars with a 30 mm diameter. The binoculars are also ideal for observing the night sky. High quality optics All of the binocular lenses and prisms are made of premium BaK-4 glass material to ensure a bright image. The full multi-layer coating also increases light transmission and prevents annoying reflections. In addition, the image-stabilized binoculars are equipped with a central drive for quick and easy focusing. And for exciting discoveries at close proximity, the image can be focused from a distance of just 4 m. Also ideal for people who wear glasses The binoculars are also designed to offer maximum comfort for people who wear glasses, and are equipped with LE eyepieces that have a long eye relief. This ensures that the entire field of view from 66.5 m to 1000 m remains visible even when you're wearing glasses. Thanks to the practical twist-up eyecups, the distance between the eyes and the eyepiece lenses can be easily adjusted in 4 steps. In addition, the dioptre adjustment on the right eyepiece compensates for any differences in vision between your eyes. The perfect travel companion Equipped with the premium 16x42 binoculars with an image stabilizer, you won't miss a single detail. Whether you're on holiday, hiking, birdwatching, observing nature or gazing at the night sky, the long battery life of approx. 30 hours allows you to go on long expeditions without having to change the battery. And because the weather can change quickly, the binoculars are splash-proof. This means that no liquid can get into the housing when it rains. When you're out and about, you can wear the binoculars around your neck using the wide, padded strap so that you won't have to reach far when you spot something interesting. When you've finished observing, simply place the dust cap on the lenses and stow your binoculars safely in the practical bag until your next outdoor adventure.Relaxed sky observations When conducting astronomical observations with binoculars, a very steady hand or a tripod is usually required due to the high magnification.
