Throw away that crappy finder scope and get a Rigel!

Using the Rigel is EASY!

Step 1: Put the Bulls-Eye where you want the telescope. In this case, I'm looking for M13. Notice how I position the bulls-eye between the stars on the longest side of the keystone.

Step 2: Look in the eyepiece!

The Rigel comes with an extra base!

Everything included to mount it and use it. Batteries? Yes! Double-stick tape? Yes!

Helical Fine Focuser (Requires 2" Focuser)

$54.95 (Free Shipping)

Focusing at high magnification with a standard rack-and-pinion focuser can be a real challenge. The focuser action is coarse, making it hard to nail the exact focus point. This precision-machined adapter makes fine focusing a breeze. It replaces the 2"-to-1.25" eyepiece adapter in telescopes equipped with a 2" focuser, allowing very fine helical focusing with just a feather touch. Critical focus is easier to achieve, and images stay steadier. The Orion Helical Fine-Focusing Adapter features dual rubber grip rings and setscrew lock. Works with 1.25" eyepieces. Requires at least 9mm inward focus travel.

1.25" 2X Barlow

$43.95 (Free Shipping)

The BEST Moon Filter because

it has adjustable brightness.

Available in standard 1.25" and 2" models

This versatile 1.25" Orion Variable Polarizing Telescope Filter acts like a dimmer switch for your telescope, toning down the brightness of the Moon or planets to a comfortable level and revealing more surface details.

It consists of two high-grade glass polarizing filters in a rotating cell that allows you to vary the amount of light transmission from 1% to 40%.

Such control is highly desirable for lunar observing because the Moon's brightness varies with its phase and with the aperture and magnification of the telescope you are using. It's also a must for viewing the Moon in daylight hours.

Reducing the glare to an optimal level will reveal dramatically more lunar and planetary features, without significantly altering the objects' color.

The anodized aluminum cell threads into the barrel of any standard 1.25" telescope eyepiece. Includes a durable plastic storage case.
