Do you have a Kolossus mount but your binoculars are still too low? With
this half-column you can increase your setup and observe even more
comfortably in the future.
For taller people: Extend the distance between the binoculars and
the tripod by another 20 centimeters to observe comfortably while
standing
Better in the zenith: If you found it difficult before, you can now observe better in the zenith region
Connect to telescopic tripod: Prefer to connect the Kolossus to an
EQ-5 type telescopic tripod? With the half-column this is possible in no
time at all.
The projection and focal adapter consists of two parts - the
projection part and the focal adapter. The projection part is used with
an eyepiece for achieving a long focal length with small objects, e.g.
for individual craters. Use the focal adapter without the use of an
eyepiece so employing the focal length of your telescope - for taking
photos of the entire Moon, gas nebula or galaxy.
projection adapter for 1.25-inch eyepieces of up to 38mm outside diameter
can be used as a focal adapter with a T2 thread
continuous zoom - magnify the image by sliding the adapter further out
Omegon Dobson telescope Push+ N 203/1000
Your smartphone phone and this telescope are now 'best friends
Experience a whole new feel to exploring the night sky with this Omegon 8 inch Dobsonian telescope together with the Push+ object locator. This telescope can find any planet or deep sky object in the twinkling of an eye! This is made possible by the intelligent Push+ object locator - the telescope communicates instantaneously with your smartphone!
The advantages in a nutshell
finding newly invented - you can now located any object in the night sky using the Push+ object locator and your smartphone
built-in digital encoder - your telescope immediately knows where it is pointing. The software allows you follow every step and locate objects in a jiffy.
Bluetooth 2.0 provides a wireless connection to your smartphone - with a range of 10 meters
smartphone holder - suitable for all smartphones with a width of up to 75mm
software - take control of your telescope with the SkySafari® 4 Plus app for Android, or use programs such as Cartes du Ciel® or Stellarium® with your PC
GP receiver - mounts any telescope with a GP rail
The optics - high contrast and sharp images thanks to the parabolic mirror
Good optics are the heart of any telescope - the 203mm parabolic main mirror here provides a sharp image right out to the edge of the field of view, for a visual experience where you might forget that you are still on Earth and are only 'travelling' with your eyes.
A journey into the past - getting into the world of galaxies
203mm of aperture lets you enter a whole new domain - that of the 'deep sky objects', or DSOs. You can observe globular clusters thousands of lightyears away, sparkling like a million diamonds in your telescope. Or even galaxies - 'islands of stars' like our Milky Way.
You can observe the following objects with the telescope
globular clusters
planetary nebulae
galaxies
open clusters
hydrogen nebulae
planets, comets and much, much more.
Omegon Dobsonians open a new door to the universe - the main mirror in this telescope gathers 75% more light than a 150mm telescope. You can explore hundreds of objects in the night sky.
Digital Encoder - a 'satnav' for your telescope
Know where you are - the digital encoders on the azimuth and elevation axes tell you just where you are in the night sky at all times. This technology, which is used on large equatorial mounts, is now also employed with this Dobson telescope. But all this would be nothing without a good controller - and this you already have!
Smartphone - your way to the stars
Your Android smartphone now allows you to keep track of everything yourself - the Sky Safari® 4 Plus astronomy app for Android systems turns your phone into a control centre for your telescope. The coloured display on your smartphone shows the current region of the night sky and allows you to select an object you wish to observe. You can then move the telescope to the target in a jiffy - as you move the telescope in the direction required, you will see a crosshair moving across the star chart.
With the right app it's easy
You can purchase the SkySafari® 4 Plus app at Google Play. Push+ will not work with Apple iPhones or iPads (iOS operating system) - a separate version for these is due to be released in 2017
Is there also another way that doesn't need a smartphone? Yes, there is! - you can use Stellarium® or Cartes du Ciel® planetarium software. Simply install one of these free programs on your laptop - and off you go, wirelessly, to the stars. Whether smartphone or PC - a Bluetooth 2.0 connection is used to communicate with the telescope.
GP receiver
The rocker box has a receiver for Vixen style GP rails. This means you can connect most telescopes with GP rails to the rocker box and benefit from the Push+ system. This works best with Newtonian reflector telescopes of up to 8 inches in diameter.
Ensure your exploration of the night sky is always successful with Push+.
Note: smartphone and App are not included.

Product description:
Omegon premium Moon filter - to ensure that your lunar observing is fun
Does the Moon appear far too bright when observing it through your telescope? The Omegon Moon filter reduces the brightness and increases contrast. It screws easy into your eyepiece, permitting relaxed observing and stopping the Moon from dazzling you.
The advantages in a nutshell:
Omegon neutral density filter - tones down moonlight for more comfortable observing
neutral image - the Moon retains its natural appearance
high contrast - discover thousands of craters and fine structures
for your eyepiece - fits onto any 2" eyepiece with a filter thread
The Moon is too bright - tone it down a bit
The Moon can be so bright that you can easily read a newspaper by its light at night. But anyone looking through a telescope will note just how bright the Moon really is. It often irritates the retina and dazzles the eye in unpleasantly. No wonder - the full Moon is 25,000 times brighter than the brightest star in the night sky. So having a neutral density filter is definitely an 'ace up your sleeve' when observing the brighter lunar phases.
Filter with 25% light transmission
This filter is ideal for smaller and medium-sized telescopes up to a diameter of 150mm. The 25% light transmission reduces the brightness of the moonlight, allowing you to observe the Moon at any time - in comfort and without glare.
Polished glass for a clear view
You are purchasing a first class product with the Omegon Moon filter - a polished glass filter held in an anodised aluminium mount. The filter glass has been ground and stained throughout the entire glass volume. This avoidance of using a superficial coating means that it cannot wear out, even after many years of use.
A Moon filter belongs in the eyepiece case of every amateur astronomer. But, above all, it is a must for comfortable lunar observing.
