Telescope Accessories

A complete digiscoping solution: NexYZ connects your smartphone to almost any eyepieceNexYZ’s patented design works with telescopes (with most 1.25” or 2” eyepieces), spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes (with the included adapter rings).Works with virtually all smartphone models, including the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, and Google.Features three directional knobs (X-, Y-, and Z-axis) that perfectly align your phone’s camera with the eyepiece in seconds. In addition, you can make tension adjustments to keep the phone firmly in place.Stands up to rigorous field use thanks to its robust, durable construction with a metal frame and polymer body. The NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter is a great first step into the world of astroimaging or digiscoping. The NexYZ provides you with everything you need to capture sharp, detailed images and video. Patented NexYZ Smartphone Adapter NexYZ fits any eyepiece from 35mm to 60mm in diameter, including telescopes equipped with 1.25” or 2” eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. It also attaches to microscopes with the addition of an included adapter ring, which takes the usable diameter down to 25mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece. NexYZ accommodates a wide range of smartphones including the larger “phablets” like the iPhone 11 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier devices with ease, thanks to NexYZ’s strong metal spring and threaded twist lock. Should you need to tighten the tension on each axis for a customized secure connection, click the Support & Downloads tab to read our NexYZ Tension Adjustment Guide. Easy as X-Y-Z What makes NexYZ’s patented design different from other smartphone adapters? The three-axis adjustment. Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment in two axes. But NexYZ gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, centre it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs, and then move up or down over the eyepiece until you have the entire field of view in your shot. And even though this adjustment is ultra-precise, it’s still quicker and easier to use than other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexYZ, attach NexYZ to an eyepiece, start the camera app, and centre the camera over the eyepiece using the knobs. Switching phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, requires only slight adjustments to re-centre the camera over the new eyepiece. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexYZ’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action. You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X-, Y-, and Z-axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece. NOTE: NexYZ is compatible with telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, monoculars, and microscopes. It does not fit riflescopes. NexYZ works with most phone cases, but if you have an especially large phone case with built-in batteries or a folio-style case, you will need to remove it.

The Celestron Universal Barlow & T-Adapter is three accessories in one2X Barlow: Use during visual observing to double the magnification of every 1.25” eyepiece you own Prime Focus Photography: Use the T-Adapter portion of this accessory to transform your telescope into a giant telephoto lensTele-Extended Photography: Use the T-Adapter with Barlow to get double the magnification of prime focus modeT-threads accept camera brand-specific T-Ring (sold separately) This 1.25” accessory can be used three ways: as a 2X Barlow for visual use, as a prime focus T-adapter, or as a “Barlowed” T-adapter for double the magnification and the benefit of extra inward focus travel. The Universal Barlow & T-Adapter can be used as a 2X Barlow right out of the box. Insert any 1.25” eyepiece into the chamber and you’ll enjoy double the magnification, while retaining all the eye relief of the inserted eyepiece. The Celestron Universal Barlow & T-Adapter can also be used for prime focus photography, which means you use the telescope as a photographic lens—a very big photographic lens! Just unscrew the bottom section of the unit to remove the Barlow and slide the chrome barrel into the telescope’s 1.25” focuser or adapter. Lock it firmly in place with the focuser or adapter thumbscrew. T-threads on the top of the adapter screw into a T-Ring (sold separately) that is designed to attach to the brand-specific mounting flange of your DSLR or SLR camera. Please note that some telescopes, especially “fast” refractors and Newtonians, may not have enough focus travel to allow the photographic image to come to focus when used in prime focus mode. In these instances, adding the Barlow to the T-Adapter will allow the telescope to reach focus. In “Tele-Extended” mode, the Barlow doubles the focal length and f/ratio of your telescope, resulting in an image on the sensor or film plane that is twice the size of a prime focus image.Prime focus and tele-extended photography are popular for short exposure images of terrestrial objects as well as celestial objects like the Moon.

Sky-Watcher 90 Degree Polar Scope Eyepiece The new Sky-Watcher 90° Polar Scope Eyepiece now makes polar aligning your mount so much easier! The eyepiece sleeve securely clamps over the standard polar scope eyepiece using three non-marring, plastic-tipped, knurled metal thumbscrews. This is far superior method of clamping compared to similar looking products on the market that use only one clamping screw and more reliable than those using a brass compression ring, which can be problematic. The internal diameter of the eyepiece clamping sleeve is 30.1mm. For optimum positioning, the eyepiece can rotate 360º around its axis in click-stops. The eyepiece can be switched between 1x and 2x magnifications. For viewing comfort, the eyepiece is fitted with a soft fold-down rubber eyecup. An adjustment of +/-4 dioptres is provided to adjust to your eyesight.  Suitable for fitting to the polar scopes of Sky-Watcher EQ3, EQ5, AZ-EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6, EQ6-R, AZ-EQ6, SAM & STAR ADVENTURER mounts as well as many mounts of other brands.
