New Eyepiece From HellOfAView

HellOfAView Optical Corp. in the US has started shipping a new type IIId Naygler eyepiece. This latest in oculars represents a tremendous breakthrough in optical design it sports a wrap around 360° field of view! All of the observers who have used the type IIId so far claim that they feel like they've actually stepped out into the field of view! This supports HellOfAView's claim that anyone using the new type IIId eyepiece will be outstanding in their field.

New Filters From Lunicom

Filter technology continues to advance as evidenced by the recent release of two new filters from Lunicom that promise to revolutionize Astronomy...

Cloud Rejection Filter:

Available in 6", 8", 11", 14", and 17.5" sizes, the CRF simply fits over the front end of the telescope. With the CRF in place you will not see any clouds. Unfortunately this filter reduces the intensity of radiation entering the telescope by 100%, so it is not suitable for photography.

Horizon Rejection Filter:

Can't afford that trip to the Southern Hemisphere? Try the HRF. This electronic filter module fits to any telescope that accepts a standard T adapter. Simply attach and point your telescope below horizon level. Also sees through clouds! Unfortunately the HRF is sensitive only to neutrinos, so it is not suitable for visual or solar observation. For best results, locate your telescope a kilometre or two below ground level.
