See this impressive setup. This mount should be ideal for serious visual observers. The compact and powerful ALT-AZ mount allows a binoscope to be mounted on top, making it perfect for BINO setups as well. It should also be excellent for total solar eclipse observations, as it allows multiple viewing configurations within a limited time of the totality.

The mount and accessories will be available at Astro Hutech shortly.

The current EM31Pro in top mode performs very well for my BINO setup. However, I may switch to the AZ40 in the future, as it is much simpler and more compact—making it ideal for overseas expeditions such as total solar eclipse trips.

Player One NEAF specials begin today.

This special sale is available at Astro Hutech through April 20.

Sightron’s new filter is scheduled to come up this April. The key features are

• Reducing red color cast at the corners
• Natural RGB color balance

See the following comparison test. 1st test image will likely look very familiar when taken with the astronomy-modified consumer cameras.

Since modified cameras tend to exhibit strong red color cast, this filter is optimized for such use.

The red color cast at the edges is minimal, making subsequent image processing much easier.

I will also publish the results obtained using a dedicated astronomy color camera at a later date.

This is the 1st setup for the local beginning user who has seriously started the astronomy.

If your eyepiece looks like the one on the right, it is uncoated. The one on the left is the normal (properly coated) version.
