New : Tube Rings from Parallax Instruments For many years the American manufacturer Parallax Instruments has been commercialising a wide range of tube rings (from 75 to 570mm!).

Recently, rotating models have been added to offer more comfort to Newtonians users…or astrophotographers wanting to achieve framing without having to rotate the camera. Complete description online.		New : Meade LightSwitch 203mm (8") Following the success of the revolutionary 152mm (6”) model, Meade has decided, as always intended, to extend the LightSwitch range with an instrument of bigger aperture.

GALILEO Green Laser pointer When showing beginners the night sky, nothing can be better to use than a laser pointer. There are so many stars that look alike that it can be difficult for a beginner to recognise them. Thanks to a laser beam with a range of several kilometres, you can point out the exact star, planet or constellation that you want to identify.
