ScopeTronix IR Blocking Filter

   Webcams do a great job of imaging, but they are too sensitive in the IR range. The original lens on your webcam contained an IR filter but that lens must be removed for best use with a telescope. Without an IR cutoff filter IR light can overwhelm the sensor causing blooming and over exposed areas of the image. These quality IR cutoff filters block the IR from your CCD chip allowing you to take better images with the proper exposure based on visible light. They have standard 1.25" filter threads so they thread directly into the bottom of our webcam adapters (or into the bottom of 1.25" eyepieces for eyepiece projection astrophotography). Also useful for other CCD imagers.

MaxPower for Webcams

   Telenegative amplifier lens threads directly into the filter threads on our 1.25" webcam adapters and increases magnification by 60% (1.6x). Great for getting more magnification without losing too much of the field of view. It also increases your backfocus, allowing you to reach focus on most reflectors and refractors that don't have enough focus range to focus a webcam at prime focus.

ScopeTronix Field Doubler

    A ScopeTronix exclusive, this field doubler attaches to the back of your ETX-90/105/125 or NexStar 4 and effectively shortens the focal ratio of your telescope to f/7. This system will provide wider fields of view for your CCD imager or webcam while also reducing your exposure times. Now you can image more of the Moon or that large star cluster or galaxy. The Field Doubler is designed to allow for a wider field imaging; it is not designed for visual use and the scope will not reach focus if a diagonal is inserted into it.

Please note: For use with only the ETX 90/105/125 and NexStar 4.

Portable Laptop Stands

   Many astronomers are now taking their laptops out into the field for a variety of tasks, running astronomy software, using a webcam or CCD imager, etc. There is rarely a decent place to put your computer and dragging large foldaway tables can be a pain. These compact laptop stands are an ideal solution. They weigh almost nothing and take up very little space when folded. They can be setup and taken down in seconds. The Deluxe Stand sets up faster and is more sturdy for heavier laptops. Once you use one you'll wonder how you got along without it!
