Scope This Out
Because it's one excellent spotting scope from Celestron®. A Maksutov-Cassegrain design with multi-coated optics, it has a 65mm dia aperture and 30-90X magnification. It comes with a tabletop tripod that adjusts from 9-1/2" to 12-1/2" tall, and has fine-tuning knobs for horizontal and vertical angles. The scope itself, with an image-erect 45-degree eyepiece, weighs just over a pound and measures 3-1/8" dia x 8-3/4". Comes in a very nice black, soft carrying case with a shoulder strap, a hook-and-loop closure, and a handy chamois tucked inside.

Camera Tripod
A tripod with true portability -- It weighs only 2 lbs, the 4-ft aluminum legs (which can be locked down independently at any length) telescope to a convenient 22", and it slips easily into a zippered black-nylon quiver. The mast, which has a standard 1/4-20 camera mount and a built-in level, can be cranked up (literally) another 9-1/2". The manufacturer doesn't say how much weight the tripod will bear, but we'd keep it to under 10 lbs. Very nice for the money.

Perfect Porta Pod
The in-between aluminum tripod: bigger than a mini but a lot easier to tote than a full-size version. Collapses to 14-3/4" long x a triangle approx 2-1/2" on a side. Has 4-draw legs with clutches that extend (3) feet, and a shaft that pulls up another 12" to a full 4-foot height. Includes a 1/4"-20 standard camera thread. Very useful item for small digital camera users.

3-D Specs
You remember: white cardboard frames with red and blue plastic lenses. The temples fold to 5" long. 3-D's a lot more fun in these days of the Web: go to www.howstuffworks.com for binocular disparity and rivalry tests, or just Google around to find fun stuff or school optics experiments to use these with.

Combo-Scope
The manufacturer of this great little device, C&A Scientific Company Inc., calls this a Spy Scope, but we think its multiple optical applications in one very small package are the story here. The very cool 8 X 20 spotting scope has an adjustable focal length graduated from 25cm to infinity. It measures a mere 4-7/8" long when extended, with a rubber grip and eyepiece cover and wrist strap. And it comes with a 3-1/4" tall 5X loupe that's threaded to mate with the scope to create a 25X microscope. The plastic microscope stand/extender is also threaded and will come apart from the loupe. Comes with a black nylon belt pouch for the spotting scope. Can you say "multi-task?"

Ten Bucks To The Canary Islands
It's just like being in the Canary Islands…and looking through the Slooh Observatory telescope perched on the top of Mt. Tiede. This card works like a pre-paid phone card. You sign onto the observatory's website, enter the number from your card, and you've got (50) minutes of real-time viewing through the telescope, displayed on your computer screen. And if you're in, say, Chicago, Mt. Tiede is 6 hours ahead of you so you can do daytime viewing of a nighttime sky! All you need is a Mac or PC with an Internet access speed of at least 56K. Lots of viewing options, including archived missions and event notification. You can even designate an object to view and schedule your time to view it. Go to www.slooh.com for a description of the program. Very, very cool.

Fine Optics
You can count on the quality of optical equipment by Galileo(r), so we're confident you'll like these binoculars. Their die-cast aluminum bodies are covered with a suede-like rubber for comfort and grip. The wide-angle lenses are fully coated. They have lens caps and removable lanyards, and come in padded nylon-canvas carrying cases with shoulder straps. The C 840, 5-1/2" from front to back, is 8 x 40 with a field of view of 430 ft/1000 yds. The 6-1/2" deep C1050 is 10 x 50 with a field of view of 367 ft/1000 yds. Both have a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, and either one would make an exceptional gift that would be used now and for years to come.
