| Check out our seasonal savings
on premium astronomy gear! | | Explore Scientific has kicked off a seasonal savings event designed with the avid stargazer in mind. Now through the end of the year, we are offering out-of-this-world discounts on select telescopes and astronomical accessories. Products in this holiday sale event include doublet refractors, apochromatic refractors from our FCD1 and FCD100 series, focal extenders and 100° eyepieces. | | | Designed to deliver crystal clear imagery rich in contrast, the premium telescopes in our ED Triplet FCD1 and FCD100 Series are the ideal optical instruments to capture the universe's breathtaking sights. These apochromatic refractors feature an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations. In addition, they use a combination of genuine HOYA extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings on all optical surfaces to generate brilliant high-contrast images with crisp definition. The quality of the optics also allows those seeking to push magnification based on their choices of eyepieces or focal extenders to do so without sacrificing clarity. To further guarantee precision performance, these telescopes include a multi-point collimation cell that allows for pinpoint adjustments of the objective lens. | | | Available in three apertures ranging from a highly portable 102 mm to a far-reaching 152mm, our AR Doublet Series telescopes are classic f/6.5 achromatic refractors that use a pairing of a crown glass lens and a flint glass lens separated by a cushion of air to minimize chromatic aberrations. The superior optical glass is fully multi-coated, and each model comes with a 2" dual-speed focuser, a one-piece 2" diagonal with 99% dielectric coatings, an 8 X 50 non-illuminated straight -thru finderscope and a cradle ring assembly with a Vixen-style dovetail mount. | | 100° 5.5mm Waterproof Eyepiece

100° Waterproof Eyepiece Set | | | | Explore Scientific's 100° Series waterproof eyepieces are hyper-wide class oculars that can make your observing experience truly immersive.The lenses in these precision eyepieces are made of low-dispersion glass with a high refractive index and are fully multi-coated with durable enhanced multi-layer deposition (EMD) coatings. The combination of these factors brilliantly captures the celestial wonders you seek with sharp contrast, high resolution and crisp definition. To protect the precision optics, the body of each eyepiece is O-ring sealed and purged with an inert gas for a waterproof environment that is impervious to internal fogging and prevents contaminants like fungus and dust from entering. Each also offers foldable soft silicone rubber eyecups to provide the most comfortable viewing experience and a filter thread on the backside that will allow for use of moon or light filters. | |

1.25" 5x Focal Extender | | | | Explore Scientific focal extenders add versatility to your eyepiece line-up by allowing each eyepiece to perform at two powers. For example, if your particular eyepiece/telescope combination results in a 50x power, adding a 2x focal extender will change that to a 100x power. To guarantee superior image quality, our focal extenders use multiple lens elements that are made of high-quality glass and fully multi-coated with EMD coatings to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. | | | FirstLight telescopes include free holiday gift kit for a limited time! | | For a limited time, those that purchase a FirstLight telescope will receive a free holiday gift kit valued at more than $100.
