GSO 2" Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 86.4mm Telescope Adapter)
Fantastic
I purchased this as a replacement for the stock rack and pinion focuser on my little Synta-made ST80 refractor. The focuser itself has quite a bit more mass than the rack and pinion did, lending a nice, solid feel. The new focuser was easy to install...

GSO 1.25" 90-deg Mirror Star Diagonal for Refractors # GSST
Great Diagonal

HoTech 1.25" SCA Laser Collimator - Single Dot
Decent collimator
Be sure to check the collimator's collimation! Mine was way off. Company claims that it is extremely rare to get one that is out of collimation, but would check mine an replace if I was right. I WAS right and they replaced at no cost to me. There are...

Blue Fireball 1.25" to 0.965" Eyepiece Adapter # E-04

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Large format Barlow
This Barlow appears to be well made with a rubber grip ring. It mounts solidly in the diagonal and the 2 inch eye peices Orion 26 and 38 are held well. Tolerances are good for loading and unloading the objectives without too much slop. Brass retain...

Meade Series 4000 f/6.3 Focal Reducer/Field Flattener for SCTs # 07545
Focal Reducer, What do they do?
Several things, actually. First and foremost, they reduce an f/10 SCT to f/6.3. For the CCD imager or astrophotographer this actually means two things; dramatically shorter exposure times, and a distinctly flatter field. Said differently, they add co...

Meade 1.25" #918A Diagonal Prism # 07202
Meade Diagonal
I bought this diagonal to replace a poor one that came with a 4" refractor I was giving to someone as a gift. The views with this diagonal were excellent.
I also bought a Meade 9.7mm eyepiece to use with this diagonal.

Good eyepiece for the moeny!
