On 12 August 2026, Europe will turn its gaze towards the Sun: the eclipse will be total in northern Spain, among other places, and visible as a partial eclipse across large parts of Europe. In the Solar observation section, you will find solar eclipse glasses and much more for safely observing and photographing our home star.
These are the latest additions to our range of solar observation products:
| The Seestar solar eclipse glasses from ZWO offer a straightforward solution for looking directly at the Sun without optical magnification. An integrated UV/IR filter and an optical density of 5 protect your eyes, while the Sun appears in a bright yellow colour. Lightweight, ready for immediate use and ideal for solar eclipses, the glasses fit easily into any travel or observing bag. |
 |
| The Buki Family Pack lets adults and children enjoy the Sun together. It contains two pairs of glasses for adults, two models for children and two filters for smartphone cameras. A multilingual accompanying booklet provides additional information about the solar eclipse. The CE-certified glasses comply with EN ISO 12312-2 and are ready for immediate use, making them a practical all-in-one solution for families, schools or small observing groups. |
 |
| The Omegon Solar Safe Deluxe Cam allows you to take smartphone images of the Sun without improvised adhesive or hook-and-loop fastenings. The modular set includes an M48 solar filter with an optical density of 5, a sturdy filter holder and a smartphone clamp mount for tripods. This keeps both the filter and the phone securely positioned while capturing a yellow-orange image of the Sun. The holder can also be used with other 2-inch filters, making it practical for a variety of photographic applications by day and night. |
 |
| The Lunt Mini Sunocular 6×30 OD5 provides a convenient magnified view of the Sun. Permanently installed white-light glass filters turn these compact binoculars into a specialised instrument for observing sunspots, solar eclipses and transits of Mercury or Venus. Weighing only around 160 grams, they are ideal for travelling and always close at hand. Important: because the solar filters are permanently integrated, the Sunocular is intended exclusively for solar observation. |
 |
| The Omegon Horizon AC 70/700 EQ Neo is a versatile starter set for observing the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects. The achromatic refractor delivers high-contrast images, while the Crayford focuser enables precise focusing. With the Amici prism, the telescope provides an upright, correctly oriented image, making it suitable for nature observation as well. An EQ Neo mount, stainless-steel tripod, two eyepieces, Barlow lens, LED finder, smartphone adapter and Bluetooth remote shutter release are all included. With a free solar filter until 15 August 2025! |

In recent days, Swarovski Optik has unveiled a new spotting scope, the AT Endura 21-65×75. This model stands out due to its relatively low weight (1,510 grams) and a wider range of magnification (21–65x) than previous ATS or STS models. With a 75mm objective lens diameter, it strikes a balance between the 65mm and 80mm objective lens diameters. The eyepiece is fixed and cannot be swapped for previous models.
Nevertheless, this relatively affordable spotting scope is manufactured in Absam, Tyrol, and features high-quality HD optics. All this comes at a very fair recommended retail price of €2,490.
Deliveries will commence from 6 October 2026. Pre-order now and be among the first to receive one!

Compact spotting scopes have been very much in vogue for some time now. ZEISS has now also launched a new compact spotting scope featuring high-quality HD optics at an attractive price.
The Conquest Apia! The high-quality HD optics with a 65mm objective lens offer a magnification range of 20–50x. The comfortable viewing experience and the wide field of view of 48–27m at a distance of 1,000 metres are also impressive.
And to help you capture your observations on camera, ZEISS has also launched a new smartphone adapter and adapter rings. These are expected to be available by mid June.
HD optics in a compact format – the days of lugging around heavy equipment are now over!

Now available: The SmartEye from PegasusAstro
What is the “SmartEye” actually?
It is the first smart eyepiece with technology similar to that of smart telescopes – except that you can use any of your existing telescopes with this eyepiece. It is therefore universally applicable and can be used in Newtonian telescopes, refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutovs, provided that a 2” focuser is available on the devices. In contrast to conventional eyepieces, the SmartEye has a built-in camera sensor, namely the Sony IMX533 Color, which you already know from the ZWO ASI 533MC Pro camera. As a result, color images of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters are created before your eyes, just like with a smart telescope. These can then also be saved, so that you get instant astrophotos at the same time as the live observation is happening.
By using the SmartEye on any telescope different magnifications and fields of view can be realized. The built-in Sony camera chip is an ideal sensor for dim DeepSky objects. It has a high resolution thanks to its 3.76 µm pixels and shows a high sensitivity (QE approx. 80%). With a 90° field of view, the SmartEye itself also offers a wide-angle viewing experience.

Once again Swarovski, the premium optics manufacturer from Austria, proves that it is not resting on its laurels. The latest additions to the spotting scope family are the two very compact and image-stabilised AT and ST Balance spotting scopes. The AT has a 65 mm objective lens diameter for angled viewing and 18-45x magnification. The ST Balance has a straight view and is even slightly lighter at 14-35×50.
The basic idea behind these two spotting scope models is that some nature observers have always rejected spotting scopes because of their size and the fact that you cannot observe properly without a tripod. Swarovski, as the leading European manufacturer of high-end optics, now has something to counter these two arguments. We were able to get an idea of this during a pre-launch event.
At the end of September, we tested the new product and the technology behind it on two extremely rainy days. Among other things, we were also able to observe how these spotting scopes are mounted in Absam. The next day, we went to Lake Chiemsee and were able to test the functionality of these spotting scopes and the image stabiliser both inside Herrenchiemsee Palace and on the shore.
In conclusion, we can only say: the usual excellent image quality and a very steady image when held in the hand.

With the iAFS, iOptron presents the most versatile electronic focuser currently available on the market.
The big advantage: The iAFS is mounted along the optical axis and does not require any cumbersome, wobbly mounting, but is screwed firmly to the telescope.
More information about the iAFS here in the shop.
