    1.25" IR / UV Block Filter . . . . Rs.5,700.

    Our high-quality infrared and ultraviolet blocking filter is designed for use with modern webcam and CCD imaging cameras. If you use a webcam with almost any telescope except a well-corrected Newtonian, you are likely to encounter halos around stars and a problem often referred to as "fuzzy focus". This happens because any telescope that employs any form of lens in the light path is unable to bring the whole light spectrum to a single well-defined focus. The UV and IR parts of the spectrum will be brought to different focus points to the rest of the spectrum, hence the loss of resolution and halo effects.

    Our IR block filter passes 88% average of the visible bandwidth - 400mm to 700mm - whilst blocking 98% average of the bandwidth in the range 750mm to 1150mm. It also blocks near UV energy.

     

      8-24mm Zoom Eyepiece plus adapter . . . . Rs. 5,700.

    Most sophisticated eyepiece projection tool for SLR and fixed lens digital astrophotography.

    You do not need to spend a fortune to get a decent zoom eyepiece. Our 1.25" zoom eyepiece features fully multicoated optics, a flip down and removable rubber eye-guard, and is threaded for filters. The zoom ranges is from 8mm to 24mm and it is near par-focal throughout the zooming range. Zoom offers superb control of magnification and image scale at your fingertips , gives you more magnification and wider vignetting control than any other digital eyepiece in use. It provides stunning medium to high power views with a smooth turn of its rubber-clad barrel. However, if fitted to a digital camera (either fixed lens or SLR) the performance is simply amazing. We offer a digital camera adapter for use with many digital cameras. The adapter is attached by simply pulling off the rubber eye-guard, slipping on the adapter and tightening 3 thumbscrews. The Adapter / Eyepiece combination is then threaded directly into the camera. Some cameras may require a lens tube at additional cost.

    Here are just some of the great features:

    * Great 8-24mm Zoom Eyepiece- for purely visual use

    * Fits all fixed lens and Digital / Film SLR cameras using suitable rings (using separate T thread

    adaptors- not included).

    * virtually all web cams with our standard adaptors.

    * CCD cameras- most having female T-thread.

    * Fast, precise control of magnification and image scale at you fingertips

    * amazing magnification and image scale range

    * widest possible of control of vignetting

    * 1.25" threaded for standard colour filters

    * adapters available for all cameras (with or without thread)

    * Fully multicoated optics

    If your digital camera or camcorder is not equipped with a filter or accessory thread around the lens, your camera can still be attached via Universal A-focal digital mounting system.

    Recommended accessories for use with zoom: T-thread extension tube set Rs 660. A set of three tube ring to extend the range and magnification control of the zoom still further. This unit is also ideally suited with SLR cameras when using eyepiece projection system with a purchase of T-Ring separately.

     

      Notes:

    Which Cameras will the Digital T-System Fits?

    The Digital T-system referred above is available to fit most popular digital cameras. Most are specific to a camera model and many more will fit the most common lens thread sizes. The only requirement is that the camera should have a live LCD viewfinder screen ( or through the lens view) so that you can see and focus the image. Some of the cameras currently supported are Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Kodak, and many more.

    Note: In the open market there are many various brand of Digital cameras available having all different features.
