ToupTek HOPE D60
This is 1st test by D60.
D60 + Canon Ra, 98 x 2′
Looks very nice! The scope seems to perform as their publishing. It should be the premium wide-field telescope. The illumination power is more than 90% at 22mm radius. So I’m sure it is quite comfortable to the full frame camera owners even under the light polluted sky too.
POA Zeus-M & Poseidon-M
Those cameras are now back in stock.
Player One Holiday Specials End Soon
Player One’s Winter Sale will end the coming Sunday. All prices are really attractive. Don’t miss this great opportunity.
Nikon Filter Drawer
Nikon filter drawer is now back in stock.
WA M54 Camera Rotator Back in Stock.
Sightron DBP-EX UHS
UHS version is available now.
Pre-shifted off-center design is ideal for RASA,HyperStar and regular camera lenses.
Also Hutech carries several filter drawers like
All filter drawers are fully designed for Sightron’s glass thickness. So no compromise due to the improper light path length.
I will keep updated on the test.
1st Light thru SJ DBP EX
This is 1st shot through SJ dual narrowband filter EX. Unfortunately the sky was a bit hazy and the optics used was a slightly improper. So it might be a little lose the Ha signal due to the blue shift. Originally I planed to use F3.6 scope. But I forgot an adapter for that. So this is a backup system.
SJ DBP-EX + Sigma 105mm Art @F2.2 + Player One Poseidon-C, 30×3′ (gain 0/-15°C）
And my setup.
The new filter is expected to come in stock next week.
Takahashi PM-1 Ted Special
I loved this mount. But now I have too many….. So I decided to release. The controller synchronizes the mount and the camera (DSLR or mirrorless) . So it is cable of the dithered guiding without an external computer.
SJ Dual Narrowband Filter
I got 1st sample of SJ DBP EX.
Red line is a new EX version
Features are;
- Higher transmission
- Flat top
- Steep cutoff lines
- Clean bottom cuts
- Fused Quartz – excellent purity and transmission
- SJ-proprietary premium coating – virtually halo-free
I had the chance for the halo test just before the marine layer came in last night. Sigma 105mm is like 3.5″ scope at F2.2 speed.
Unfortunately California’s June gloom season came in again. This will be commercially available middle of this month.
