Digital Light Meter

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.

Photo Porta-Pod
Call it the HandiPod. Lighter than metal tripods, flatter than round versions, this digital camera must-have is heavy-duty gray plastic with non-slip rubber feet. Measures 3" tall in use and collapses to a flat 5/8" x 1-1/2" x 6" long for storage. The mount swivels vertically 145° and locks in place. Fits a standard camera thread.

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.

A Stellar Telescope
We've priced this Bushnell Reflector Telescope to make it attractive to those on a budget, but it's a far better scope than you see around town for that price. It features sturdy metal construction, from the mount, tube, rack-and-pinion focuser to the adjustable metal legs. Includes:

Sun Scope
We haven't had this much excitement around here since the first shipment of burp guns arrived! The Solarscope is here, and everyone's lined up to look into it! This solar viewing device lets you indirectly watch sun spots, solar eclipses, even clouds drifting across your line of sight. Using it, you can determine the changing times of solar noon, the sun's rotation rate, the earth's pole axis inclination, your latitude and more. The adjustable corrugated-cardboard framework holds a first-surface mirror, and a Cx lens in an 8-1/2" long tube, which reflect the sun on a white panel of the frame. On sunny days, it can be used outside, or inside through a window that faces south (or north, if you drag it down to Argentina or Australia). Simple to assemble, and to disassemble for storage between solar viewings. It's 14-1/2" x 16-1/4" x 24" high OA, and comes with a 38-page teacher's guide. It's made and sold in France by Light Tec Optical Instruments, and we're one of the few Solarscope sources in this country.

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.
