David Levy's Guide to the Stars Planisphere

ScopeTronix Green Laser Pointer

   The ScopeTronix green laser pointer puts the others to shame! Our powerful 5mw laser uses a continuous beam (many others use only a 50% duty cycle resulting in a noticeably dimmer beam even though they have the same power rating). Above is a comparison photo of the beam projected onto a wall. The spot on the left is our laser, the spot on the right is the popular laser that most places sell. You can see how diffused the beam is already at only a couple feet. Our glass lenses (not plastic as in others) make the difference. When compared in the dark the difference is even more obvious, the other lasers are barely visible unless you are looking directly along the beam, whereas ours is clearly visible from the side. Green laser pointers are great for pointing out subjects in the sky. Features a top quality Sony Laser Diode. Runs on 2 AAA batteries, included.

MagniScope™ Monocular, Magnifier, and Microscope

    This unusual and useful setup serves three purposes and does them all very well! As pictured on the right it is a pocket sized 8x20 monocular that will bring distant views 8X closer. To get a better look at tiny details use the 3x adjustable stand magnifier by itself. Thread them together and you have a powerful 30x microscope that gives very high quality views! Monocular, Loupe, or Microscope...the choice is yours!
