So easy to set up and use. the water and drainage system keeps everything clean. By far this is the best polisher to purchase. Also I love how you can have attachments for it.
Solid piece of hardware clamped firmly to the mount. Very happy with this purchase and I use it all the time now.
I purchased this filter for my Celestron Telescope and am happy with it. It fits the telescope well and allows for solar viewing as outlined.
This is a perfect alternative for a needoh and you could say even cooler than a needoh. The colors and the shapes are so cool.
I haven’t eaten new Tony in and replaced my guiding scope with this. It makes a big difference from tracking and staying locked on with the guiding.
So glad I got this, super happy with it. What an incredible piece of gear! Everything about this highbanker is amazing, easy to carry, easy to assemble, easy to level out, easy to clean out and the list goes on... just wow!
Ran it with a 6 inch blade shovel (what I used before, just panning) and bought a bigger shovel the next day... it just crushes material!
Will absolutely recommend it to everyone!
Order was quick to be process and delivered via Fed Ex promptly. The tumbling rough was relatively fragile chips that may not last in the tumbler. I am currently processing the batch and will hope I get a few decent pieces out of it.
Whenever I get clear skies, I can carry my S50, Fluid Head, and tripod out to a concrete pad in my backyard; point North and with a couple of adjustments be imaging within a few of minutes. I just use my SeeStar scopes all the time.
When I received it, and read the instructions, they said it is only compatible with C14s made after 2006. Googling suggested it would in fact fit my 1999 C14, and it does. The ring fits fine. I think any incompatibiity might be how the wires pass thru the Celestron dew shield on older scopes? Not a problem for me, as I am using a home-made dew shield and the wires are no problem.
Received the Antares 1.25” W70 Series 2 eyepiece and was very pleased with it. Purchase it for my 80mm ED spotting scope that accepts 1.25” eyepieces. Wanted to know if a 4mm eyepiece will work with the scope. It is a 70 degree Apparent FOV which gives me more field of view when viewing through it than a regular 50 degree Plossl eyepiece. Was pleasantly impressed with it the first time I used it. I used my spotting scope for night sky viewing. Saturn was great. Hope to use the eyepiece at a closer look at the moon. Very satisfied. All Star Telescope is a great Astronomy store. Was able to know when shipment occurred and to follow through tracking to know when it will arrive. DK

Delighted to have glasses for an eclipse. Sorry I didn’t need them this week.
These are great finders! I love the fact that you can turn the diagonal to whatever position is needed, so you don't have to strain your neck in certain situations.
A very well made product with plastic tips on the ring screws so they won't mar the finder surface. Thank you so much! Darrell
This is my 3rd Celestron Dovetail in my inventory. One is for mounting my 130mm APO to a GEM, the 2nd is for piggybacking my Solarmax II to the top of that APO, and the 3rd is for an 80mm refractor I use for outreach. The Dovetail is a decent and versatile product.
Great description of items made it easy to find what I was looking for. Straightforward Website made it simple to order and Delivery was on time.
I look forward to creating many projects.
I recieved a Dwarf 3 in the mail about 2 weeks ago and last night was the first night since I bought it that it wasn't cloudy. I was anxious to try it out since I got it and I finally got a chance to see how good it was for myself. My first target was the Andromonda galaxy but when I checked to see what time it was visible, it was after 3am, well past my bedtime. I didn't want to lose a night's sleep so I googled to see if I could set the dwarf up to do astrophototography before sunset to autonomously photogragh Andromenda overnight. I found out I could, so I asked the AI assistance in the Dwarf 3 app how I would set it up. Instead of giving me a list of steps I had to be complete, the AI assistant actually did all the setup for me in half a second! All I had to do was attach the Dwarf to a tripod and place it outdoors. Since this was my first attempt at astrophotography I decided to use alt-az mode instead of equatorial mode so no further setup was required. This setup seemed too easy so I didn't expect it to work. I was thinking that I must have left out something. The next day when I looked in the app Album, where images are stored internally on the Dwarf, I was amazed to see a thumbnail image of the Andromanda galaxy with a timestamp of 3:35 am. I looked like the images seen on the Internet, and at first I thought that's what it was. The only things that made me believe it were the timestamp and the file name had "stacked" in its name. Not only had the Dwarf automatically taken dozens of 15 second image exoposures, it had automatically did all the image stacking so I was pesented with the final image. I had thought that even if the Dwarf had done the exposures correctly I still would have had to do the stacking myself th next day, but that was not the case - everything is automatic. This image, taken in alt-az mode with 15 second exposures, is so good I can only imagine future sessions where I put the Dwarf in eq. mode, allowing much longer image exposures resulting in even more details popping out. Astrophotography is no longer just for night owls, us early to bed and early to rise folk can also participate.
