Under the name NexStar SLT (Star Locating Telescope), Celestron offers computer-controlled telescopes that allow access to the night sky without any prior knowledge.
Two models with the very popular Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are now available in this series:
Schmidt-Cassegrain optics have a long focal length, which is ideal for observing the moon, planets and planetary nebulae at high magnification. Nevertheless, the tube is very short and easy to transport. The closed tube protects the mirror from dust. SC telescopes are stable in adjustment and show an image without colour errors – this is also ideal for planetary observation.
You can find all models in the NexStar SLT series here in the shop.

ZWO AM5 N – the latest generation of the proven AM5 Harmonic Equatorial mount carries telescopes up to 13kg without counterweight and even up to 20kg with counterweight (counterweight and counterweight rod are optionally available). The compact and very light mount, weighing only 5.5 kg, can be used in equatorial mode for astrophotography and in azimuthal mode for observation.
A hand controller and the App for controlling the mount are included in the scope of delivery. Thanks to the built-in WiFi cables are no longer necessary!

Another new feature of this version 2 is that the App now also supports Bluetooth and the dual dovetail clamp has a DC connection, as well as an USB-C port. This means that the cables no longer get tangled up so easily. The AM5 N has a 3/8″ internal thread on its base, so it can be attached directly to suitable photo tripods. GoTo, Live Preview and many other features can now be controlled via smartphone or tablet. This makes the AM5 N ideal for the use in combination with the ZWO ASI Air!

The ZWO Seestar S50 takes a first place in the selection of new smart telescopes. The main reason for this is, of course, the significantly lower price compared to other smart telescopes. But the Seestar can also score points with other features and this may also be seen in the customer reviews in our store. More than 95% of our customers are absolutely happy with the Seestar and this is certainly mainly due to the easy handling, the extremely compact design paired with apochromatic optics and the worldwide good reputation of the manufacturer ZWO, which has been established for many years, especially with astro cameras. ZWO has also incorporated its experience with camera sensors and user-friendly operation via tablets or smartphones (see ASI Air) into the Seestar S50, and it shows.
This smart telescope will delight beginners and advanced users alike, as it is extremely easy and convenient to use, yet still produces fantastic astrophotos!

The device is supplied with a lightweight carbon tripod, a solar filter, a carrying case and a built-in CLS (Light Pollution) filter, which can be switched on during exposure if required.

KOWA, the Japanese manufacturer of premium spotting scopes has revised its range of ultra-compact spotting scopes. The TSN-55 PROMINAR is the successor to the popular TSN-550 model. The most significant innovation is the design of a new eyepiece based on the well-known TE-11 WZ wide-angle zoom eyepiece. This results in a magnification range of 17-40x and an extreme field of view of up to 65m at a distance of 1000m using the lowest magnification. In addition, it has the well-known, previously unrivaled quality fluorite crystal lens of course and the dual focus gives you absolute control over the sharpness at your fingertips with the option of a separate fast or fine focus.
All of this combined with extremely compact dimensions and a weight of less than one kilogram underlines the slogan ‘Travel Light – See Bright’. Available as TSN-55A with angled view and TSN-55S with straight view.
Deliveries will start at the beginning of July, so make sure you get one of the first models already today!
