Mount Optics Where to find optics aid for target shooting.?
I'm not talking about telescopes , i'm talking about the one that is on an arm that mounts to the side of your glasses. I have checked the Brownells and Cabellas catalog, no luck so far.
Who makes the target shooting aid that attaches to the side of your glasses,it has an ell shaped arm that has a round disc with a small hole that is held out in front of your glasses. It makes the sights and target more clear.
The ones in the brownells or cabellas catalogs aren't the ones i'm looking for. The one that holds a variable size aperature disc out in front of your glasses is the one.
These are shown in an old Parker Hale catalogue that I have, I am not aware of any companies that make them now, which is a pity because I would like one also! I can only suggest that you do as I do and keep looking on ebay.
Optics gives a comprehensive and balanced account of traditional optics as well as some of the recent developments in this field while meeting the requirements of a course on optics meant for undergraduate students of science and engineering.
One-piece integral base and rings designed for traditional optics or similar sights that require two 30mm rings for additional support. Available in three different lengths for proper eye relief adjustment. AD-Scout-S is standard length for mounting traditional optics. AD-Scout Cantilever positions optics farther forward to provide 1½" of extra space at the rear for mounting night-vision devices or when additional eye-relief is needed. AD-Scout-X uses the same great cantilever design as the AD-Scout Cantilever but position’s optics 2½" farther forward for maximum room at the rear for mounting night-vision devices or making eye-relief adjustments. Mfg: American Defense SPECS: 6061 T6 aluminum hardcoat T3 mil-spec anodized matte black. Height measured from top of rail to bottom of scope body - .87” (2.2cm) high. Distance between rings - 2½” (6.3cm.) high. 7.1 ounces (201g) weight. AD-Scout - S - 4½” (11.4 cm) OAL. AD-Scout Cantilever - 6” (15.2cm) OAL. AD-Scout -

The SteadyStar AO Guider can easily make several tracking corrections in one second without lugging the weight and inertia of the whole telescope. Rather than move all that weight, the SteadyStar AO Guider moves a small on-board lens, allowing for quick and precise movements several times faster than any traditional autoguider could ever hope to correct. This refractive correction, while different than the adaptive optics used in professional observatories, is capable of making extremely fast movements to overcome even the most severe tracking errors. The SteadyStar AO Guider is capable of correcting motion more than 40 times per second, depending on guide star brightness and computer speed. This means you will overcome your mount's periodic error, wind, and even compensate for some of the negative effects of turbulent seeing conditions. Quite simply, the SteadyStar is the fastest AO Guider used for amateur astrophotography on the market today!
If you're serious about large format astrophotography, Orion brings you a new way to assure the best tracking performance possible, even in adverse conditions. The SteadyStar LF Adaptive Optics Guider (AO) makes any imaging-capable mount, even if a modest one, perform more effectively. Precise tracking is one of the most critical facets of astrophotography and this tracking is limited to the accuracy of your mount, plus external factors like wind and atmospheric seeing conditions. The SteadyStar LF AO Guider overcomes these limitations and challenges and takes control with super fast and accurate guiding. The SteadyStar LF Adaptive Optics Guider is ideal for use with large format CCD and DSLR sensors with its larger 50mm diameter optical window. The larger window provides full filed illumination to take full advantage of devices equipped with larger sensors, such as 35mm format CCD cameras. Traditional autoguiding involves moving the mount and telescope, along with all of your attached imaging accessories to correct for tracking errors. Furthermore, autoguiding can typically only make a single correction every couple of seconds or so; during that time your tracking is vulnerable to periodic error from your mount, wind, and atmospheric seeing conditions.

Saiga 12 Optics Mount How-To
new to astronomy, first telescope, advice?
im looking for something capable of deep sky observing with the largest aperature possible, however i live in an apartment so a dob is out of the question. i need something portable, quality optics that i can use for years, good solid mount, goto if possible, largest possible aperature and under 1200. thanks in advance for your answers.
thank you all for your advice. first thing im going to doo is go to an astromeet and check out some scopes. your advice has been very helpful and probably saved me the 1200 i was going to drop on a nexstar 8. i obviously have a lot to learn.
thanks to all, although some of you slapped me around a bit. remember im new to the game!
You're not going to like what I have to say on this, but if you are new to astronomy, I would hold off a bit. I've been doing astronomy for a while now, and have worked with a lot of people who are just getting into it. Experience over the years has taught me that if you are new to astronomy, and try to start by buying a telescope, that you have just increased your learning curve more than you think (unless you have someone standing there helping you step by step as you learn). Even if you've done the research before you buy it.
Contact a local astronomy club and meet with them. Maybe see if you can join them on a few outings and learn about their scopes. Learn about things that work and don't work. Find out what you like, get some experience learning about eyepieces, learn how to use a scope, and above all, get more familiar with the sky and how to find things with a telescope first. All of this will make the telescope more valuable when you get it.
You have the right idea for what to look for but be warned that an equatorial mount with goto will drive the price up, limiting the apeture you would be able to get if you are trying to stay under $1200. You also don't want to forget about eyepieces. Good eyepieces cost money even for just one or two. And I wouldn't say that an apartment should make a dob out of the question. I live in an apartment and have a 10" dob. It's quite portable with the carrying case, just fits into my back seat, and cost less than half what your are thinking off. And the views are stunning. That extra money could buy you a eyepiece set with a nice range of basic eyepieces or one or two really good eyepieces to go with the basics that come with the scope. You could also get a carrying case, an eyepiece case, a couple of useful filters, a basic collimator, and still leave room for an invaluable pair of binoculars, a nice guide book, and a Deluxe SkyAtlas. And you might still end with some money left over. If you are wanting a larger apeture equatorial mounted scope for an affordable price, you'll have a hard time finding it for $1200 and be able to complete your gear with those other items. You can always look into a tracking mount for a dob down the line. Plus, compared to an equatorial mount, a dob has a much more comfortable learning curve for a beginner.
Again, it's your choice. If you really want to do this, I'd still say AT LEAST meet with some people at an astronomy club and ask to see some examples of scopes before you buy. At least that way, you've had a chance to examine a few and possibly handle a few to get the feel for them. You might get lucky and find out that someone in the club has decided that they want to upgrade and is interested in finding a buyer for their scopes. I've seen some great scopes at great bargains this way through my old club. If they don't have any...start looking through Orion Telescopes.
But, you asked for some opinions. This is mine. I say get a nice guide book and a pair of binoculars (heck, go for a nice pair of 10x50's), then join an astronomy club and start learning about the equipment and the skies before you rush out and buy one on your own.
Good luck.
