			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dynasun offers optical products and magnifying devices. In its range of products comes this model which is simple and stylish. Like the preference of most beginners and the first time users the design and the technology supports in a big manner. <b>Dynasun 114&#215;900 Equatorial Telescope</b> rightly comes with the life time excitement to view all the favourite astronomical and celestial objects. The following review tells you more on the uses and application of this product.</p>
<p><b>Structural Features</b>:</p>
<p>This model has a portable structure and its size is never a hinge to carry around. The housing is white in colour and the body of this device is made of solid aluminium material which gives it a robust and solid appearance. The aluminium make also brings down the weight of the product and hence just goes best for transporting in the back seat of the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1041 aligncenter" title="Dynasun 114x900 Equatorial Telescope" src="http://www.telescopereviews.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Dynasun-114x900-Equatorial-Telescope.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="448" /></p>
<p><b>Type</b>:</p>
<p>The objective lens is made of high quality glass lenses. <b>Dynasun 114&#215;900 Portable, White Colour Telescope comes with the concave mirror and it has a hard coating</b>. This helps to bring the images with better clarity and better performance.</p>
<p><b>Application</b>:</p>
<p>Being quite sure that this model can be used at the beginners level with gives a great vision of the celestial objects the moon, star clusters and the planets. It is also possible to view the rings of Saturn and the craters of the moon. As a dual application this device can also be used for viewing the terrestrial objects with the help of the erecting eye piece without which the images will be viewed up side down.</p>
<p><b>Technical Details</b>:</p>
<p><b>Magnification</b> – The 225x magnification can be obtained with this telescope and with the help of the eyepiece additions the magnification can be enhanced.</p>
<p><b>Aperture</b> – This is the size of the objective lens and its diameter measures 114mm. The size of the objective lens determines the light gathering ability and this model groups up with the beginners to the intermediate level of telescopes.</p>
<p><b>Focal Length</b> – The total size of the device along with the magnification effect is the focal length and it is 900mm. This allows the user to view the objects with greater magnification as the images gets magnified in the folds.</p>
<p><b>Power</b> – The resolving power of this device is 1” while the visual magnitude is 12m. This makes it suitable for both astronomical and terrestrial observation.</p>
<p><b>Other Product Details</b>:</p>
<p><b>Dynasun 114&#215;900 Astronomical and Terrestrial Telescope</b> is been equipped with the tripod made of aluminium and it gives hands free and long hours observation. The mount of type equatorial is convenient and it allows for the complete adjustment. It does come with the Barlow lens with the power of 2x magnification. Present in this model are eyepiece for the extra support and they are 20mm, 12.5mm and 4mm. It also comes with the erecting eyepiece with the power of 1.5x and the moon filter for the safe observation.</p>
<p>Nevertheless this model is impressing for both land and sky observation, the style and the design goes impressive although the advanced features like the astro-photography and the built-in database are absent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is easy to begin the journey to become an astronomer with an efficient and well equipped device. Saxon the optical brand proudly introduces this model as an all in one solution for the amateur astronomer. It gives hands on for many features that are competitive with the high end models. More about <b>Saxon 606R Refractor Astronomy Telescope</b> is been discussed in the following review.</p>
<p><b>Type</b>:</p>
<p>This model is designed with the refractor type of engineering which is a most familiar type. It uses lenses to get the magnification done and to transmit light, maintaining focus and also rendering the image quality. It opens up for exploring both terrestrial and the astronomical observation. This type gives a touch of razor sharp product definition. The dimension of the tube is 7cm in diameter and 66.5cm in length. The weight of the product is 5kgs and the height of the tripod can be set from 67cm to 119 cm.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1022 aligncenter" title="Saxon 606R Astronomy Telescope" src="http://www.telescopereviews.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Saxon-606R-Astronomy-Telescope.jpg" alt="" width="361" height="336" /></p>
<p><b>Technical Details</b>:</p>
<p><b>Aperture </b>- This model is been designed with the objective lens with measures 60mm in diameter. The size of the lens dictates the brightness of the viewing image and hence it is quite clear that larger the aperture the brighter will be the viewing image. This model does a justification up to intermediate level of observation and beginners can get the most out of it.</p>
<p><b>Focal length</b> - The focal length is 600mm which is the distance between the eyepiece and the lens. It helps to seek the magnification level.</p>
<p><b>Magnification</b> - The highest practical power available in this model is 325x and it gives an entry to exploring the dark night sky. Viewing of the lunar and the planets along with the nebulae, star clusters and the planet rings are possible with this said magnification.</p>
<p><b>Focal Ratio</b> - The focal ratio accounts as f/10 and when it serves with the aperture and the focal distance it combines to give a perfect magnification effect on the viewing image.</p>
<p><b>Features</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Finder scope which helps to locate the object and track it in the deep night sky is an essential aspect for such devices and Saxon 606R Alt-Azimuth Mount Telescope comes with the 5&#215;24 finder scope.</li>
<li>If required to use this device for both the terrestrial and the celestial observation then the need for the erecting eyepiece exists. This model is been provided with the 45 degrees erecting eyepiece which allows the user to view the terrestrial objects when used without this erecting eyepiece the object will be transformed up side down.</li>
<li>Mount is another essential device which holds the telescope firmly and gives a hands free observation. The mount present in this model is alt-azimuth which allows you to adjust both ways making it suitable for the user.</li>
<li>Slow motion control is an added feature of this model which allows you to adjust on the vertical side.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Miscellaneous</b>:</p>
<p>Added to these Saxon 606R Celestial and Astronomical Telescope comes with the accessory tray which runs from wall to wall. The tripod belongs to the standard type made of aluminium. It also comes with the rubber eye cups of 9mm and 20mm for boosting the magnification effect. The other standard accessories are the soft carrying case, colour printed Star &amp; Moon charts and the astronomical software which are been provided by the manufacturer.</p>

<p><b>Aperture</b> - The objective lens which is the set mirror in the reflector technology measures 114mm in diameter. This is on the other hand is the size of the eyepiece. This is quite good enough for gathering more light and the entry of more light makes the viewing images brighter than before.</p>
<p><b>Magnification</b> - Based on the eyepiece, the focal length the magnification of the device is calculated. This model gives out the magnification and with the supported additional eyepiece the magnification rate can be increased when the eyepiece of 4mm in is 125x, got 6.3mm it is 80x, 25mm it is 20x and soon.</p>
<p><b>Focal length and Ratio</b> - The focal length is the distance between the lens and the eyepiece. This model gives the focal length of 500mm while the focal ratio is 4.3. This combination of the focal length and the ratio makes it suitable for the planetary observation, the star clusters, nebulas and much more.</p>
<p><b>Other Product Details</b>:</p>
<p><b>Konus 1781 Reflector Telescope</b> comes with the equatorial mount which has the support of R.A. Motor drive. This mount is adjustable side ways from left to the right and vice versa.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tal has introduced various optical products that give magnification which are suitable for different application. Among them is this model which gives an intermediate level of use for the astronomers. It is been designed with the Russian design which gives high performance. The design is compact and portable which makes it handy in all ways. This review gives you more technical know how about <b>Tal 150P Newtonian Reflector Telescope</b> which helps you to judge the product better.</p>
<p><b>Type and Technology</b>:</p>
<p>Belonging to the Newtonian Reflector type it suits best to observe the celestial objects that includes the planets, nebulae and the galaxies. It is been engineered with a large mirror to help the magnification. It gives a portable dimension and makes it compact enough to help transporting.</p>
<p><b>Aperture and Magnification</b>:</p>
<p>The diameter of the primary mirror used in <b>Tal 150P Newtonian Reflector Portable Telescope</b> measures 150mm this denotes the size of the mirror which also gives the dimension of the telescope. It is an obvious fact that when the aperture is larger the images transformed will brighter than otherwise. Further the highest practical magnification is 375x which makes it a model for the beginner to the intermediate level of usage. The planets, the rings of Saturn, the lunar and the craters of the moon are been visible in this level of magnification.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-969 aligncenter" title="Tal 150P Newtonian Reflector Telescope" src="http://www.telescopereviews.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Tal-150P-Newtonian-Reflector-Telescope.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="392" /></p>
<p><b>Focal length</b>:</p>
<p>This is another important technical aspect which not only dictates the size of the telescope but also helps in the increase or the setting of the magnification. The focal length is the distance between the primary mirror and the eyepiece. This model gives the <b>focal length of 750mm and the focal ratio is f/5</b> which is obtained in correspondence to the aperture.</p>
<p><b>Features</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li>The magnification with the supplied optics which comes as an addition can be set at 30x, 60x, 75x and 150x.</li>
<li> It also comes with the Plossls eyepieces of 10mm and 25mm which give better observation of the targeted objects.</li>
<li> Available in this model is the 2x Barlow lens which is placed just before the eyepiece in order to increase the magnification. Another aspect is that the Barlow lens can be changed by fixing the extension tube in between the lens and the eyepiece which helps to increase the level of magnification.</li>
<li> The finder scope of 8&#215;50 provided with this telescope is a small level of magnification. It helps to locate the desired celestial object in the dark sky. The power of this finder scope is the 8x magnification and 50mm aperture.</li>
<li> The Rack and Pinion focusing is a real simplified focus mechanism which is been designed to view complicated objects that are difficult to come to vision. This focus is of size 1.25” in measurement.</li>
<li> The hands free observation is possible with the provided heavy duty pedestal stand which does have the built-in vibration suppressor pads and hence makes even long hours of observation interesting.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Included Accessories</b>:</p>
<p>The package contents on purchase of Tal 150P Newtonian Reflector Astronomy Telescope are the 10mm &amp; 25mm Plossls, 2x Barlow lens, heavy duty pedestal stand which has built-in vibration suppression pads and 8&#215;50 finder scopes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This model is one that is in the top line of its brand which is been designed for the user of intermediate level. Telescopes being the interesting innovation to view far off objects say even those in the dark sky. They are determined based on the technical and the technology for its effectiveness. Understanding the same Bresser has developed this product in the Messier segment which keeps it going impressive. <b>Bresser Messier PN-203/800 Exos 2 Telescope</b> gives excellent viewing experience of the deep details of the dark sky. The following review makes your understanding better about the product.</p>
<p><b>Type</b>:</p>
<p>Given it the Reflector type of construction it works with the use of the mirrors that brings in the vision of the magnified objects. This type clearly states that the focal length comes in many folds and makes the device a compact one.<b> Bresser Messier PN-203/800 Exos 2 Astronomy Telescope</b> also works well to carry along in the back seat of the car and can be easily set up in the open with less installation procedure.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-961 aligncenter" title="Bresser Messier PN-203/800 Exos 2 Telescope" src="http://www.telescopereviews.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Bresser-Messier-PN-203-800-Exos-2-Telescope.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="592" /></p>
<p><b>Design</b>:</p>
<p>The housing is white in colour and with the combination of black colour in the rim makes it a neat one. The weight of the device goes with the weight of the Tripod as 5.9 kg and the weight of the tube as 9.0 kg. Altogether the dimension of the device is manageable and it takes comparatively small foot print.</p>
<p><b>Aperture and Magnification</b>:</p>
<p>The size of the objective lens is 203mm in diameter which is known as the aperture. This is one of the prime factor for determining the brightness of the objects that is been viewed. The aperture generally is been looked for the higher side which in combination of the focal length gives the required clarity of the far off images. The said highest useful magnification is 400x which is great to look into the asteroids, planet rings, the nebulae and even the Milky Way. When you put the magnification level lower it makes the images brighter than other wise if it is higher. Based on the viewing object and the requirement the adjustment can be opted with.</p>
<p><b>Focal length and focal ratio</b>:</p>
<p>The focal length is the distance between the eye piece and the lens. This model shows the measurement of 800mm. This focal length comes with the ratio of 4.0 which gives it a great go for general celestial observation. The focal length also determines the length of the tube while this model gives a short appearance and more compact too.</p>
<p><b>Other product details</b>:</p>
<p><b>Bresser Messier PN-203/800 Exos 2 Astro-photography Telescope</b> shows compatibility to astro-photography and it does have an efficient mount of type EXOS2 which operates mechanically. For the use of the intermediate levels in astronomy it serves a great deal. However it does not have an accessory tray yet the tripod made of metal is sturdy for the frequent use. Overall, this model is impressive for the general celestial observation at the mid level.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saxon the optical brand the maker of binoculars and telescopes has also brought in night vision scopes, magnifiers and related accessories. It makes sure that they product models for all requirements. Without the compromise in quality it aims to give the products in affordable prices. Giving the priority to the customer interest all its products are enhanced with the service and the backup facility. In this review you are explained about <b>Saxon 1309 EQMS Reflector Telescope</b> in detail.</p>
<p><b>The basics</b>:</p>
<p>Tough and solid is the construction with the black colour glossy finish. The size of the tube is 17cm in diameter and it measures 90cm in length. The tube weight is 4.5kg which is of a kind that gives increased mobility. The mount and the support of the tripod give a stable imaging. The motor drive, accessory tray and the eye piece are few distinguished aspects of this model. <b>Saxon 1309EQMS Equatorial Mount Telescope</b> shows compatible use for both the terrestrial and the celestial observation. This is been possible with the help of the erecting eyepiece.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-951 aligncenter" title="Saxon 1309 EQMS Reflector Telescope" src="http://www.telescopereviews.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Saxon-1309-EQMS-Reflector-Telescope.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="438" /></p>
<p><b>Type</b>:</p>
<p>This model is been engineered with the reflector type which is the Newtonian type of magnification. It comes with the in-built mirrors which support the magnification. The mirror inside measures 5.2&#8243; that is aluminised and an over coated type. The compactness in the device is possible in this technology as the light transmission is been obtained in many folds which acts as a support for the magnification.</p>
<p><b>Aperture and magnification</b>:</p>
<p>The primary mirror present in this device measures 130mm in diameter which is the aperture of the model. It is capable of collecting more light about 30% more than the models with lower aperture say 114mm. This is one great reason for making the images transform brighter and with better resolution. The magnification of this device is 337x which is the highest practical power. It also makes it better when used with the eyepiece of different power. This is quite powerful when used for observing the dark sky, the planets, nebulae, star clusters and much more.</p>
<p><b>Focal length and the Ratio</b>:</p>
<p>This model measure 900mm as the focal length and this being functioning with the reflector technology gives a great go for viewing deeper sky. The craters of the moon, the rings of Saturn and the planets do come into vision easily. The focal ratio is 7 which is again a justifiable aspect of the observation.</p>
<p><b>Other Product Details</b>:</p>
<p><b>Finder scope</b> – This is another factor associated to such models which supports in the observation. The finder scope allows locating and tracking the viewing objects. It also makes it easy for the viewer to use the telescope. Among the different types of finder scopes the one associated with this model are 5&#215;24 finders.</p>
<p><b>Mount</b> – The mount is the support given to the telescope while it is put to function. This model comes with the Equatorial mount which adjusts in the side ways. This model gives a hands free observation for better use of it. The present slow motion control which adjusts both vertical and horizontal makes it easy for the observation.</p>
<p><b>Eyepiece</b> – The provided eyepiece are 10mm and 25mm which gives an enhanced magnification that are required for certain type of observation.</p>
<p><b>Tripod / Motor Driv</b>e – Both the mount and the tripod associated with this model are solid and gives a steady stand. This tripod is height adjustable which can be set as 71cm as minimum and 123cm as the maximum. The motor drive is a single axis type and it controls the telescope tracking speed. This also gives a better exposure to the targeted object. The motor drive use is indispensable as it compensates the earth’s rotation during the prolonged observation.</p>
<p><b>Miscellaneous</b>:</p>
<p>The other aspect about <b>Saxon 1309 EQMS Terrestrial and Celestial Telescope</b> is the presence of accessory tray that is of wall to wall type. This can easily hold the essential stuffs for the observation. With the option of the erecting image of 1.5x the device can be used for the observing the land objects otherwise which the objects are viewed up side down. Hence, this model is a great option for those wish for both land and sky observation, most likely in suits the intermediate level of users. It also ensures that all the necessary technology is built-in to keep the device on target any time.</p>
