Setting up a NexStar GPS scope is pretty straighforward, but setting the telescope onto the tripod in the dark can be tricky. The Landing Pad makes installing a NexStar GPS simple, even in the dark. This attaches to tripod on newer NexStar GPS tripods (silver).

Anti-Blooming Filter (ABF) software quickly and easily removes blooming streaks from CCD images. In the past, imagers had to spend hours painstakingly removing blooming spikes from CCD images manually in programs like Photoshop. Removing the artifacts from dozens of images was a nightmare. But the ABF software automatically does the work for you, removing the blooming streaks in just seconds.

Have you ever been to a star party with both kids and adults and wished you had an easy way to adjust the eyepiece for observers of all heights? Have you ever wanted an easier way to frame your astrophotos without fumbling around with the camera adapter in the dark? Virtual View is the answer.

Virtual View - The Visual Back with a Twist! Have you ever been to a star party with both kids and adults and wished you had an easy way to adjust the eyepiece for observers of all heights? Have you ever wanted an easier way to frame your astrophotos without fumbling around with the camera adapter in the dark? With Virtual View there is no ring to adjust each time you move your eyepiece. The Virtual View replaces the standard visual back on an SCT and allows one-hand adjustments.

The Landing Pad has been one of the most popular accessories for NexStar GPS telescopes, and now it's available for Meade LX200 and LX200GPS telescopes, too. The Landing Pad makes attaching the LX200 to its tripod a cinch! No more sliding the scope around in the dark, trying to line up the threaded rod. Simply install the Landing Pad onto the telescope and tripod and set the scope in place.

HyperStar is based on Celestron's innovative Fastar feature. This feature allows the secondary mirror to be removed from Celestron's 8", 11", and 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. By mounting a lens assembly in place of the secondary mirror, a CCD camera can be mounted at the front of the telescope allowing for a wider field of view and much faster imaging.

Who wants to spend all night taking a picture of one object? HyperStar allows a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope to be converted to an amazingly fast f/1.8 imaging system! Pictures now take mere minutes, instead of hours, and there is no need to guide or even to have an equatorial mount! HyperStar is easy to install and use, making it perfect for the novice, but it is still powerful enough for advanced astrophotographers.

The all new HyperStar 14 system allows extremely fast, wide-field CCD imaging with the Celestron 14" SCT. The lens replaces the secondary mirror on Fastar-compatible 14" SCTs and turns the telescope into an f/1.9 imaging system! In addition to allowing fast CCD imaging, the HyperStar 14 is also compatible with large-format CCD cameras, such as the SBIG ST-10XME and ST-2000ME.
