Christmas offers 2024

• Suitable for Skywatcher Quattro Newt on Linear Power focusers
• Enables the use of the EAF motorised focus system from ZWO
• Manufactured using 3D printing
• Resistant to UV and temperatures up to approx. 80° C
• The Skywatcher Linear Power focuser is not included in the scope of delivery

The new TriBand V2 Filter

• Anti-Halo coating on both surfaces to reduce reflection artefacts from reducers and camera lenses.
• Increased blocking of UV, IR and unwanted visual range wavelengths. UV OD7 (T0.00001%) Visual OD5 (T0.001%) and IR OD4 (T0.01%) for the ultimate in skyglow blocking. This is an order of magnitude better than foreign filters.
• Higher transmission % of desired wavelengths Ttop 93% (Average 5% higher transmission of target wavelengths than V1). In general a 5% gain on foreign filters.
• Ha at 14nm and Oiii at 34nm FWHM for with less tail-off to reduce unwanted light pollution, whilst keeping transmission high compared to the V1.

• This finder is right angled for more comfort, with a corrected field (i.e. not mirror-reversed like other finders), so objects actually match their orientation in your star chart.
• The focuser can also be rotated 360° and locked in seconds (requiring some re-alignment afterwards). The 10mm larger objective and a little extra power compare to 8x50 finders, yet has almost the same size and weight.
• The included quick-release finder base has 4x 4mm slotted holes in the base allowing you to fit it to most telescopes on the market. (The mini-dovetail wedge on the bracket will fit any GSO or Skywatcher telescope directly in fact but we suggest you use the included base if it fits the tube, because it has 2x clamping screws, for better alignment).
• The CNC machined bracket is light yet rigid to keep alignment. Nylon tipped screws do not damage the durable high quality and moisture resistant powder coated aluminium tube.
• All objective lenses are anti-reflection coated and the tube and dewshield are internally blackened to increase contrast. The included illuminator has a variable setting, which illuminates the cross hairs in the eyepiece. The included eyepiece has a dark field illuminated cross-hair, so you can easily see it glowing faintly against the background sky, an upgrade for standard finders with dark cross-hairs.
• The high quality 1.25 FMC illuminated eyepiece has good eye relief for glasses-wearers, and a wide field of view. It has a side-port to screw in the included variable darkfield illuminated reticule, and the finder can be very easily focused, using the included helical focuser integrated with the prism diagonal.
