Apochromatic Refractors

Apochromatic refractor lenses are designed to minimize chromatic aberration far more effectively than achromatic lenses. An apochromat brings three different wavelengths of light, typically red, green, and blue, into focus at the same point, while also reducing spherical aberration at two of those wavelengths. This is usually achieved with a lens system of two or three elements made from special glasses, such as extra-low dispersion (ED) glass or fluorite, rather than simple combinations of crown and flint glass. The Skywatcher AP 150 refractor telescope has a three-element apochromatic objective lens.

Are You Tired of Compromising on Image Quality and Tracking Precision?

Let’s be honest:

If you’re passionate about astronomy, you’ve probably felt the frustration of blurry images, chromatic aberration, and the endless struggle to keep your target in view. Maybe you’ve invested in “good enough” gear, only to be disappointed by lackluster performance when it really counts – during that once-in-a-lifetime planetary transit or the fleeting appearance of a distant nebula.

You want to capture the Universe in all its glory. You want details so sharp, colors so true, and stars so pinpoint-perfect that your images rival those from professional observatories. But the reality is, most telescopes on the market force you to choose between optical quality, tracking accuracy, and ease of use.

And let’s not forget the hassle of heavy, unwieldy setups that make every stargazing session a chore, or the endless tweaking required to get your mount aligned and your camera focused.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. Every advanced astronomer and astrophotographer has faced these obstacles. The difference between frustration and fulfillment is having the right tools – tools that don’t just meet your expectations, but exceed them at every turn.

Imagine missing that perfect shot because your mount couldn’t keep up. Or losing precious imaging time to setup headaches and unreliable tracking. The pain of “almost” is real – and it’s time to leave it behind.

Skywatcher 0.85x Field Flattener and Reducer for EvoStar 150 ED

Skywatcher Flattener

This optical accessory combines a field flattener with a 0.85x focal reducer, specifically designed for the Skywatcher EvoStar 150 ED refractor.

The field flattener corrects the natural field curvature produced by the telescope’s optics, ensuring stars remain sharp and well-defined across the entire image, including the edges. Without this correction, stars at the periphery appear distorted or slightly out of focus. By flattening the field, astrophotographers achieve consistently sharp exposures across the full frame.

The 0.85x focal reducer shortens the telescope’s effective focal length, providing a faster focal ratio. This reduces required exposure times and increases the field of view, making it easier to capture larger celestial objects in a single frame while improving imaging efficiency.

Installed between the telescope and the camera, this combined flattener/reducer is an essential accessory for astrophotographers seeking wide-field, high-quality, and uniformly sharp deep-sky images.

Skywatcher GPS Mouse for V.3 Handset

Skywatcher GPS Mouse

The Skywatcher GPS Mouse simplifies the operation of your mount by automatically providing accurate location and time data. With this accessory, there is no need to manually enter date, time, latitude, or longitude—simply power on your mount, and the handset instantly receives all required GPS information.

Compact and lightweight—similar in size to a standard computer mouse—this module adds convenience without adding noticeable weight. It significantly improves ease of use while also enhancing positioning accuracy.

Compatibility
The GPS Mouse is designed for all Sky-Watcher SynScan handsets from version 3.0 onward and can be used with:

  • NEQ-3 Pro, NEQ-5 Pro, HEQ-5 Pro, and EQ-6 Pro mounts
  • Sky-Watcher AZ GoTo mounts
  • Sky-Watcher FlexTube GoTo Dobsonians

Installed between the telescope and the camera, this combined flattener/reducer is an essential accessory for astrophotographers seeking wide-field, high-quality, and uniformly sharp deep-sky images.

Key Benefits

  • GPS module for Sky-Watcher GoTo telescopes
  • Automatic input of date, time, and location
  • Improved positioning accuracy
  • An optional cable kit is available for PC connection

Power Requirements
The unit operates at 12V DC. If the supply voltage falls below this level, the GPS module may not be recognized by the handset. This accessory is an ideal upgrade for observers and astrophotographers seeking greater accuracy and convenience in telescope setup.

ELECTRIC CONSTELLATIONS Book Series

Challenge the standard model—explore the cosmos through the Electric Universe Theory. These Electric Constellations books contain full-color, data-rich investigations of four constellations each. They're not a beginner's star guide—they're a serious work for independent thinkers, astronomers, and scientifically literate readers seeking to understand the Universe beyond conventional gravity-based interpretations.

Each constellation is examined in detail, with attention to its Bayer-designated stars, mythological origins, meteor showers, and bordering constellations. In-depth profiles of deep-sky objects—including galaxies, planetary nebulae, and star clusters—are paired with high-resolution imagery from the Webb and Hubble space telescopes, delivering both scientific clarity and visual impact.

Central to this series is the Electric Universe (EU) model, which proposes that electromagnetic forces—not gravity alone—govern much of the structure and behavior of the cosmos. Rather than treating this as speculative fringe, the book frames the EU model as an evidence-based, plasma-physics-informed alternative to the standard cosmological narrative.

Inside each volume:

  • Comprehensive coverage of four distinct constellations
  • Analyses of deep-sky objects in the EU context
  • Original commentary on plasma discharge features and Z-pinch configurations
  • Mythological and historical context without romantic embellishment

Written for readers who demand more than rote repetition of gravitational dogma, Electric Constellations opens a new observational and theoretical frontier—where stars light by electrical currents, not fusion, and where structure emerges from plasma dynamics, not dark matter.

Whether you are an amateur astronomer, electrical engineer, or astrophysicist curious about alternative models, these books deliver a rigorous and visually stunning exploration of the night sky—illuminated by a very different current.
