The BRESSER Field Tripod ST-3 is a solid and height-adjustable tripod with double tripod leg clamp and made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It is suitable for direct usage with the BRESSER Slider Binocular Mount. Adjust the extendable stainless steel tripod to the desired base height and thereby pre-select your favourite observation position. For example, for landscape observation while standing or sitting, the full tripod height should be used. For night sky observation, a lower setting is recommended to ensure a comfortable viewing position while sitting or lying down. The tripod is equipped with a standard GP mounting head and a central screw with metric M10 threaded shaft. It is also suitable for EXOS-1 and EXOS-2 EQ mounts. The upper tripod leg tubes have a diameter of 50.8 mm (2 inches).FEATURESFor usage with BRESSER Slider Binocular Mount Standard GP mount head Also suitable for EXOS-1 and EXOS-2 EQ mounts Solid stainless steel and aluminium structure Double tripod leg clamp Height adjustable approximately from 68 to 110 cm Tripod weight: 5.5 kg Transport length approximately 87 cmUpper tripod leg tubes have a diameter of 50.8 mm (2 inches)SCOPE OF DELIVERYTripod Accessory tray Central spindle

The Explore Scientific Two Room Pop-Up Observatory is a useful weatherproof tent that protects your valuable equipment from wind, dew, rain and dust. Most amateur astronomers and astrophotographers dream of having an observatory to keep dust, dew and wind away from their telescope and to shield disturbing stray light from their telescope's optics. But for many astronomers, an observatory is only a dream because of the cost of a roll-roof building or an observatory dome. There is also the problem that an observatory building needs a permanent location that is suitable for an observatory. Portable, quick to set up and inexpensive A good solution is a portable observatory tent. Compared to their fixed counterparts, a tent is extremely inexpensive and can be set up almost anywhere there is a flat surface and a clear view of the sky. However, setting up a portable observatory tent can also be a hassle. No one wants to waste their valuable observing time reading complex instructions while trying to figure out which pole goes where. For this reason, we have used a sturdy pop-up design. Setting up the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Pop-Up Observatory can be done in a matter of minutes. By releasing a retaining strap, the complete tent unfolds from its packaging in just a few seconds. You really don't need to do anything other than connect the two observatory rooms with a Velcro seam and attach it to the ground. Thanks to this simple design, the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Pop-Up Observatory can be set up and taken down in just a few minutes, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your astronomy weekend. Plenty of space for your equipment and super compact when folded up. With just under 5 square metres of total space and 1.52 metre high side walls, coupled with 1.83 metre high windscreens, the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Pop-Up Observatory allows you to set up your computer equipment in one room and the telescope in the other, or set up two complete telescope systems. Each room is 152 by 152 centimetres. Mobile observatory with compact transport dimensions In addition to being easy to set up and take down, another advantage of the pop-up design is that it is travel-friendly, as it is light and easy to stow away. The entire observatory tent folds down to a package 70 centimetres in diameter and 10 centimetres thick. This allows it to be transported in a small car or even on a flight for distant expeditions. And apart from the fact that it allows you to go to your favourite observing site at any time, portable observatory tents are usually the first choice for astronomers and astrophotographers attending star party events.  Advanced materials provide optimal protection and durability However, the fact that the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC Pop-Up Observatory is lightweight and easy to store and set up doesn't mean it can't withstand bad weather conditions. The Black-Out coated polyamide material is waterproof and offers excellent UV protection. This guarantees reliable protection for your equipment as well as long-lasting durability of the observatory tent. Large doors for convenient use The doors to enter the observatory tent and pass through the attached rooms are very generously sized at 102 centimetres high and 92 centimetres wide, so you can easily walk in and through your equipment. The doors roll down to keep moisture out and their heavy-duty zips will last for years. The extra weather cover protects your gear when not in use. With the large weather cover included, you can protect your gear from the hot sun or a surprise rain shower during the day. Or even from dew at night. The modern, coated and waterproof material keeps all unwanted weather influences away from your equipment. Included are cords and pegs to tie down the tent. The structure also has additional holding straps for the use of heavy-duty straps, which can be purchased at local hardware stores.

An amici prism allows for a comfortable 45° viewing position and creates an erect image without left-right reversal. This makes it especially suitable for nature observations but it can also be very helpful with astronomical observations. Particularly beginners may find it easier to orientate in the sky when they compare the view through the telescope with what they can see with their naked eyes.With this  amici prism an astronomical telescope can be used as a powerful spotting scope.Suitable for Maksutov-Cassegrain style telescopes with threaded M35x1mm visual back adapter:item no.: 4701102 BRESSER MESSIER MCX-102 GoTo Telescope AZ/EQitem no.: 4701127 BRESSER MESSIER MCX-127 GoTo Telescope AZ/EQitem no.: 4890125 BRESSER MESSIER MC-90/1250 optical tubeitem no.: 4810140 BRESSER MESSIER MC-100/1400 optical tubeitem no.: 4827190 BRESSER MESSIER MC-127/1900 optical tubeFEATURESfits to BRESSER MESSIER MCX/MC telescopescomfortable eye relief for refractor telescopes45°- viewing position and image without left-right reversalastronomical telescope turns to a powerful spotting scopefor use with 1.25'' (31:7mm) eyepiecesSCOPE OF DELIVERY45° Amici Prism M35x1mm to 1.25''/31.7mm

If a observing session is a relaxing and joyful experience is heavily dependend on the choice of eyepieces. People wearing glasses very often have the problem to see the entire field of view when they are using eyepieces with large apparent fields. This problem is now history. The new 62°- LER eyepieces by Explore Scientific do not only offer excellent image sharpness and high resolution and contrast over the full field of view - you can see that full field without problems even with glasses on. Fatigue due to tense head positioning and strained viewing simply does not happen because of the excellent viewing comfort these eyepieces provide even to observers wearing glasses. Enjoy the unique combination of excellent image sharpness out to the edge of the field even for fast optics, superior contrast and unmatched viewing comfort. Eyepieces with perfect combinations of various modern glass substrates and highest standards in manufacturing, quality control and service are a tradition at Explore Scientific - the outstanding resolution and sharpness to the very edge.These eyepieces are the choice for observers wearing glasses - with excellent performance and durability. The rubber inlet and the foldable eyecups make handling and using in the field easy. The patentet EMD"-coating produces high contrast images and prevents reflexes and ghosting. The argon purging effectively prevents internal fogging, and you don´t have to deal with dirt, fungus or cleansing fluids getting between the lenses. The eyepieces are sealed - this makes sure you will be able to enjoy these eyepieces for many years to come.Eye relief: 22mm
