GSO 2" Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 96.6mm Telescope Adapter)
GSO Dual Speed Crayford Focuser
It took about 10 minutes to mount this focuser on my Orion 100ED. It works as advertised and makes my observing sessions much more enjoyable. I particularly enjoy the smooth movements and rotating feature. I'm planning on getting one for my C9.25. I ...

GSO 2" SuperView Eyepiece - 50mm
Good item
A suggestion to add a step M42 below the rubber protection to install a reflex camera.

Blue Fireball Eyepiece Holder (2") with SCT Female Thread (SCT Visual Back) # C-01
Well made quality piece
Excellent item, quality build. The only con is when used with a heavy eyepiece, (eg: axiom 31 mm) which is an extremely heavy piece, the clamping power of the unit is barely enough to hold the eyepiece in place, and can be moved with minimal force.

Blue Fireball 2" SCT Visual Back
Work OK w/ my diagonals and seems to hold them adequately. The thumb screw that tightens the compression ring on the diagonal is way too small. It is dificult to adequately tighten the compression ring. This gets exciting when rotating the diagonal i...

Agena Eyepiece Container - 105x120mm
What's not to like?
Great bolt cases at good prices. What's not to like? I keep coming back for more as my eyepiece collection grows.

Blue Fireball T Thread Spacer Ring with 10mm Extension # S-T10
Excellent craftsmanship
I bought the 40mm spacer ring as an extension tube for astro photography (eyepiece projection) use. It works beautifully, it is a well crafted piece and since it is all black inside, there are no unwanted reflections.

Zen-Ray ZEN ED2 10x43 Waterproof Binoculars with Dielectric Prism Coating
Impressive!
I purchased the Zen Ray ED2 10x43 because I wanted a high quality birding binocular without paying $1800. The Zen has been everything I expected and more. I am constantly stunned at the quality of the image. Birder friends are also impressed with the...

Blue Fireball SCT Male Thread to 2" Nosepiece Adapter - Short # C-02
Very handy accessory
This adapter allows me to use SCT thread accessories behind my 2in focuser. A must have for fine focus with off-axis, T-adapter, even a 1.25in visual back for small accs! Really glad to have it!!

Antares Red Dot Finder with Quick Release Bracket
Great red dot finder!
I own about many red scopes and have bought the GSO and the Antares versions on Agenaastro more recently. These finderscopes are dead on and you can't beat the prices here. The GSO and Antares are identical except that the Antares version has the p...

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Classy designwork
Classy deignwork and good quality workmanship. Quality lenses, but heavy and bulky. It is a 2" barlow though and does the job it's designed for.

GSO 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece - 9mm
Very good quality for price
Use it with a C8 SCT. Received it from AgenaAstro in a nice case.
Maybe not the best EP on the market, but by far the best quality at this price level.

Agena 1.25" ED Eyepiece - 7.5mm
Lives up to the claims
Since purchasing this eyepiece, it is the one that I initially start out with viewing. With the 55deg view, it gives a nice expanse of the object. I use this with a Celestron XLT 6" refractor, and the views have been outstanding. The view is crisp a...

HoTech 1.25" SCA Laser Collimator - Crosshair
This is an excellent product!
I use this collimator every single time I use my 16" Meade Dobsonian Telescope and it is very accurate and easy to use! The other night, here in Oregon, we had a half moon and after collimating with the HoTech Laser Collimator, I got the most crystal...

GSO 2" 0.5x Focal Reducer
Inexpensive - But not cheap
Works great, especally for lunar pics. Going to get a 1.25in. for my ETX. Takes one lin k(and about 1in) out of attachment chain. ie. less stress-easier balance. No problems with focal length (behind a 2in. focuser). Great acc.!!

GSO 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece - 32mm
Lightest 32 for binoviewer on market
Compared to a 32 Televue plossl head-to-head this eyepiece offers nearly equal image quality. Slight astigmatism in outer 20% of field. A best buy for binoviewers.
