As if this is not enough, amazingly, the “Combi” also allows SLR cameras to be attached to LX200 Classic and GPS telescopes – that’s a pretty versatile adaptor!

AC341 GPS Right-Angle Cable Ref: BCF-AC341
The LX200GPS scope is rightly recognised as one of the finest telescopes made. And yet, as anyone who owns one of these magnificent instruments knows there is a very small number of minor “niggles”. The risk of power “outs” during automatic set-up or during a GOTO move is just such a snag, caused by cables pulling on the power jack plug as the telescope slews from one position to another. Our “fix” for this is a simple right-angle plug that has a lower profile than most straight jack plugs. The cable has a 2.5mm female socket at one end, and a 2.5mm right angle plug at the other.

AC346 Star-Raker Parallel Motion Binocular Mounting Ref: BCF-AC346
The sheer splendour of the night sky viewed in large aperture binoculars is an experience few will forget. Used with a good-quality pair of binoculars and a full height tripod, the observing comfort of the Star-Raker makes exploring the sky at night a pure pleasure. Ideal for group viewing.
One of the main benefits of the “parallel motion” design of the Star-Raker is that the mounted binocular or telescope retains the same angle relative to the ground for any change in observing height. It sounds complicated but this means you can centre a target in the eyepiece and simply move the perfectly balanced binocular vertically up or down to the height of the next viewer, and the target will still be perfectly centred - even for children!
The Star-Raker uses a retained counterweight system to allow it to be quickly balanced for use with a wide range of instruments. From large binoculars (up to 3kg with standard weight - more with other weights available separately) to small telescopes and spotting scopes. The Star-Raker must be mounted on a suitable tripod (such as the ash one shown below) and has a base that can be attached to photo-tripods using a 3/8” BSW fitting screw. (Please note, you will need a specific clamp to suit your particular type of binocular or telescope. Please see the options below.)
We find the Star-raker works well on a modified Meade #884 tripod as supplied with the ETX range of telescopes. We can supply a modified one for £235 or we can modify yours. Please contact us for details.
