It features a fast f/6.5 air-spaced doublet lens design with multi-coatings and a precision 2-inch dual-speed Crayford focuser, which is essential for achieving ultra-fine adjustments for sharp views. Built with heavy-duty construction and including accessories like a dielectric diagonal and 8x50 finderscope, the AR127 is highly regarded for its great light-gathering ability, making it an excellent choice for serious visual observers and public outreach.
Explore Scientific 11 mm - 82° Argon Purged Waterproof 1.25" Eyepiece
The Explore Scientific 11mm 82° Eyepiece is a premium, super-wide field accessory designed to deliver a highly immersive viewing experience with its impressive 82-degree apparent field of view. Its durable construction is Argon-purged and waterproof, which prevents internal fogging, keeps the optics free of dust and fungus, and simplifies cleaning. Utilizing a sophisticated multi-element design and enhanced multilayer coatings (EMD), this eyepiece produces high contrast, sharp resolution, and a flat field, making it ideal for detailed observations of globular clusters and planetary nebulae. This 1.25" eyepiece is widely regarded as offering near-apo quality at a competitive price point.
Baader 3.5/4nm f/2 Ultra-Highspeed 2" CMOS Optimized Filter Set - Ha, OIII, SII
The H-alpha, SII, and OIII filters are part of the Baader 3.5/4nm f/2 Ultra-Highspeed 2" CMOS Optimized Filter Set. Intended for use with fast optical systems (f/3.4 to f/1.8), these filters synchronize exposure times with half bandwidths of 3.5 nm and 4 nm, rendering them for CMOS cameras. Especially in places where light pollution is a problem, they downscale nebula and star details while keeping contrast high. Reflex-Blocker coating minimizes reflections, while Life-Coat guarantees longevity against washing and degradation. Along with a filter-lead-side indicator and sealed coated edges, this feature also has darkened edges to provide contrast. In general, they work with CCD and CMOS cameras.
