Orion Tri-Mag 3X Barlow Lens
Great accessory!
by: ron mosher

Having a 120st refractor with a 600mm focal length, I needed something to boost the power. The Orion 3x barlow fit the bill nicely.I was able to get 180x with my 10mm EP and got shots of Saturn through my Orion star shoot solar system Imager II that would have been impossible otherwise! Thanks for carrying a great product!

Celestron Axiom LX 15mm Eyepiece 1.25"
Axiom LX 15mm

Very nice eyepiece in my 12" F/4.9 Dobson, very good contrast and light throughput and equal to other high end offerings with 82 degrees field of view.

Steiner 8x22 Safari Binoculars
Nice Binoculars
by: Lee Spain

These binoculars offer a taste of German engineering at an affordable price. They have a nice solid feel, thumbpads beneath the binocular tubes for stable observing, a nice case, UV coatings, and excellent optics. I find them a just a little heavier and significantly less jittery than discount brand binoculars with the same magnification and objective size. The case is a little larger and boxier than the soft bag that comes with cheap binoculars so these will take up slightly more room in a purse or be a bit more conspicuous on a belt.

Great product, great price. Works very well with my G11 with the Losmandy encoders. I had a question about it, called Sky Engineering on a Saterday and got an answer to my question from a real person !

Bogen 3068 Universal Video Tripod
Bogen 3068 Tripod
by: Joseph Donahue

I purchased this tripod for medium format photography using telephoto lenses and it fit the bill spot on. I mated the tripod with a Bogen 469RC ball head. The tripod has many excellent features. It's built to last a lifetime. Everything about it is smooth, and the fit and finish is first rate. Excellent price/value ratio.
