Celestron Advanced VX Mount # 91519
Nice Mount
I bought this mount to use with my Celestron C5 for astrophotography. When it came in I did not anticipate how large it would be. The C5 looks tiny compared to the mount but that also means it is rock solid. I bought the SkySync GPS accessory to m...

Agena 11" Dovetail Bar for Vixen/EQ5 Mounts
Awesome economical lighweight design
Bought 2 of these a couple of years ago. Still have them mounted and going strong. Attached them to my Saxon 8" Mak tube rings and mounted my Canon dslr on one of them. The pre drilled holes are real handy to attach stuff to. I was really amazed how ...

Agena Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Rosette Handle - 11.5"
Good Cables...only cables around
Got the cables within days of purchasing which is always great. The quality is of okay construction, but I was expecting this. It is these or some Vixen ones that are like twice the price. They work great and really help me slew my newtonian scope...

GSO Telescope Tube Mounting Rings (Set of 2) - 90mm (3.54")
Satisfied..
I bought this item for mounting Celestron 80mm guidescope on Edge HD 11'". It was stable and I am satisfied with this item.. One drawback is, in my item, one fixation knob screw is shorter while another one is normal length, so I always am careful no...

Vixen Mini Porta Mount # 3992mini
Not bad
I purchased this mount for my ST80 after getting fed up with the tabletop mount that I used to have the scope on. First off, let me say, this is not the most stable mount ever. If you're looking for something capable of holding the scope steady for h...

GSO Telescope Tube Mounting Rings (Set of 2) - 90mm (3.54")
Perfect match for Orion ST80
I was looking for a pair of rings to mount my ST80 that didn't have the drilled & tapped holes on top. These fit the bill perfectly. Agena Astro has outstanding service & selection. They have proved to be best source for hard to find items, such as e...

Celestron CG-5 Universal Mounting Plate # 94213
Does what it's supposed to do
I used this to replace the dovetail bar on an astro-tech AT65EDQ, which was too short to properly balance with camera gear attached. It's light-weight, rugged, etc.

Agena Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Rosette Handle - 11.5"
Awesome cables!
These cables were even better than the cables that came with my son's telescope. I will recommend Agena whenever I can and I will use Agena first for all of my Astronomy needs. THANKS!!!

Agena Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Rosette Handle - 11.5"
6.5" cable
I bought these to substitute for the longer controls that came standard on my StarGuy version of the Vixen Porta II mount. The long ones are fine for a longer telescope tube, but I needed something shorter for use with my short tube Lunt 60 Solar sco...

GSO Telescope Tube Mounting Rings (Set of 2) - 90mm (3.54")
Quality with economy
These rings are very good for the price. The ring has a wide enough width for strong and secure hold on the OTA. Good solid felt all the way around to protect the OTA. Though they are cast rather than machined, they are done very well and provide a g...

Blue Fireball Binocular Tripod Adapter - Slim Profile # B-02
Perfect fit
I bought this for my wife to use with her Celestron 10X42 Nature series binos. This is the only one I've found that would give a small interpupillary distance.

Agena Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Rosette Handle - 11.5"
Decent for the cost
These are OK for the cost. I had to drill and pin the ends to keep them from slipping. These were purchase as a replacement at about half the cost of the originals. These are functional after the mod, but not the same quality as the Vixen ones I r...

Blue Fireball Binocular Tripod L Adapter - Heavy Duty # B-01
The only way to go for bino mounting
The thick metal construction of this L-bracket makes it far more suitable for mounting binoculars on a tripod than the plastic brackets which often come with binoculars. And Agena's price makes it a VERY good value!

Agena 13" Anodized Dovetail Bar for EQ5 and Other Mounts
Simple hardware, good construction
Good product, there's not much that could go wrong anyway, it's just a extruded aluminum bar. Good quality.

Celestron Polar Finder for CG-5 Advanced, CGEM, and Advanced VX Mount # 94224
Celestron polar finder
This polar finder was a dissapointment. The optics were not centered, they rotated 2 degrees off center. Thread collar was off. I had to rethread this unit. Now the unit functions as needed. I hope that other units undergo better quality control...

Agena 11" Dovetail Bar for Vixen/EQ5 Mounts
Dovetail Bar
I used this to adapt an older 4.5" reflector to my Celestron CG4 mount. Worked out perfect after attaching the tube rings to the bar.

Agena Flexible Slow Motion Cable with Rosette Handle - 11.5"
Pretty Good
On one the cover was too short showing the metal cable on both ends. On another, the head of the set screw was too long, thus hitting the head of the Porta mount and making it impossible to use.

GSO Telescope Tube Mounting Rings (Set of 2) - 358mm (14.09")
Great tube mounting rings, very strong
Very strong rings, fixing the telescope heavy safely.
