• TeleVue SKC-3000

"The Sky Tour Computer & Observing System, Your Magic Carpet to the Universe."

Tele Vue's Sky Tour is designed to help you find the best objects for viewing with their telescopes. It contains a database of over 2000 objects especially selected by Tom Lorenzin, and the accurate encoders attached to the telescope mount will guide you unerringly to all of them.

Together with the encoder set for your particular TeleVue mount, the Skytour will help you find and identify all the most popular objects in the night sky.

• TeleVue HAN-1000

The Mount Handle Assembly is standard on Tele Pod and Panoramic mounts and can be added as an option to older model mounts. Adding this handle to the bottom of a Tele Vue mount cradle gives you more control over movement in both axes of motion. The handle unscrews from the attachment block for space-saving storage.

This kit includes instructions for adding the handle to the bottom of pre-drilled Tele Vue mount cradles. A drilling template is included for older mounts.

Each ring has two accessory channels with #10-32 tapped holes, and a #¼"-20 tapped hole on the top and bottom to accept the accessory bar, a stud or bolt as necessary. The accessory bar has a variety of holes to accept Tele Vue Starbeam and even a slot with which you can piggyback a smaller Tele Vue refractor.

• TeleVue MRS-5000

Mount Ring Set for 5" Diameter provides a rigid means of holding any 5" diameter telescope tube.

The individual rings can be spaced any distance apart or from 5.5" to 6.5" apart with the accessory bar or bottom plate attached. This flexibility allows the Mount Ring Set to accommodate a variety of mounts.

Each ring has two accessory channels with #10-32 tapped holes, and a #¼"-20 tapped hole on the top and bottom to accept the accessory bar, bottom plate, a stud or bolt as necessary. The accessory bar has a variety of holes to accept Tele Vue Starbeam and even a slot with which you can piggyback a smaller Tele Vue refractor.

The included bottom plate (BPL-1098) is drilled to mate to a variety of mounts or mounting adapter plates - including the Tele Vue/Vixen Mount Adapter (AVT-1011) and Tele Vue Gibraltar-5 Head.

• TeleVue TEC-1018

These sleek little brackets attach with thumb screws to the yoke arms of all Tele Vue mount heads, keeping your eyepieces safely and conveniently at your finger tips. The set holds three 1¼" eyepieces and two 2" eyepieces. The 2" holes have removable 1¼" inserts as well.

The Eyepiece Caddy Set is highly recommended for all TeleVue mounts. The Panoramic and Gibraltar accessory trays are great, but they don't hold your eyepieces securely, like a Caddy, if your tripod gets bumped in the night! And once you experience the convenience of having a Caddy, bending to reach for an eyepiece will seem like a big inconvenience! The Tele-Pod does not offer a place to hold eyepieces, so the handy caddies will be a truly welcome addition.

The caddy brackets are made of 3/8" thick aluminum and are powder coated for durability.
