using StarLock’s narrow-fi eld camera. Wide-fi eld photos of the
Milky Way showing remarkable detail and clarity can be taken.
Dew Shields: In moist climates, water particles suspended
in the atmosphere may condense on the front surface of the
telescope’s correcting plate. This dew formation may be inhibited
to a signifi cant extent by the addition of a dew shield, essentially
an extension tube attaching to the front-cell of the telescope.
#905 Variable Polarizer (1.25"): The #905 system includes
two polarizer fi lters mounted in a specially-machined cell, for
glare-reduction in observing the Moon. Rotate the thumbscrew
at the side of the unit to achieve light transmission between 5%
and 25% of its original value. The #905 inserts into the diagonal
mirror of the telescope, followed by an eyepiece.
Cigarette Lighter Adapter: Powering the LX600 telescope by
means of an automobile cigarette lighter plug.
Astrometric Eyepiece: A high-precision 3-element achromatic
eyepiece for a wide range of astronomical measurements.
Measure double star separations, position angles, planetary
diameters, lunar crater diameters and so forth. Includes variable
LED illumination control and batteries.
More accessories will soon be available for your LX600 model.
