Align-Mate
Bubble-level and compass eyepiece

The Align-Mate is probably our most popular "GOTO" telescope accessory with literally thousands sold. The Align-Mate solves your GOTO alignment worries and allows you to find due north and get a perfect level of your telescope tube in seconds. For the more experienced user the Align-Mate is always useful for levelling tripods and optical tube assemblies, and it makes a great dust plug too! NB: The Align-Mate is useful with all instruments but is not really suited for use with Newtonian reflector-based scopes, as the eyepiece focuser cannot easily be placed vertically on these types of instrument.

The Align-Mate comprises a large bubble level screw mounted on one side of a solid precision turned-aluminium billet, and at the other end is a recessed oil-damped compass.

Titan Field Pier
Complete Anti-Dewing System for small refractors
up to 5.1" diameter tube size
 

This complete temperature-controllable anti-dew system is the best way to keep dew away from your telescope optics all night long. The kit comprises a controller with six temperature-control steps and a lens cell heating tape. The controller needs to be plugged in to a suitable 12V DC power supply available separately. The tape is plugged into the controller and is then simply attached around the front of the optical tube with an elasticated Velcro strap. The kit also includes a splitter to allow the use of an eyepiece dew heater (purchased separately, see section on Anti-Dewing Equipment). The controller can be plugged into the Portable Astro Power Station (see below AC338) and at a typical low to mid-range heat setting the Power Station will keep your optics dew free for over 8 hours! See Anti-Dewing Equipment section.

parfocal digital camera support
Ultra afocal/parfocal digital camera support


The easiest way to get into astro-photography! The Ultra Standard is a simple and lightweight way to mount any camera onto to any telescope with a 1.25" eyepiece holder and take pictures through the instrument's eyepiece. The Ultra does not use your camera's filter ring, instead the tripod socket carries the camera's weight. Clever design allows the Ultra to fit virtually every camera available. Fits directly onto any 1.25" fitting eyepiece (see Camera Mounting section for alternative products).

Versatile and powerful, the unit has a built-in night vision-saving red work-light to help set up your scope, and built-in jump leads to start your car! Supplied with 12V ETX/LX telescope connection cable, AC mains charging unit and a 12V car recharging cable (to recharge the battery unit from a car cigar lighter socket).
