Given the popularity of our 127mm Mak, it’s only natural that we offer it with the best new mid-size equatorial mount on the market, the SkyView Pro. It is a telescope for the enthusiast who appreciates the practicality of a compact scope, yet wants the best features and performance available. In a market flooded with “Maks for dummies,” replete with plastic parts and with gadgetry that promises more than it delivers, it’s nice to know you can still get a telescope that puts quality above all else for a terrific price. The “SVP” 127’s 5″ Maksutov-Cassegrain optics pull in plenty of light for views of deep-sky gems. And with its focal length of 1540mm, you can’t beat it for high-magnification study of the lunar surface and planets. Not bad for a tube assembly that’s just 14.5″ long. The SVP EQ mount is as fluid in its motions as it is solid in its stance. A mount worthy of the avid observer. Click To Buy…

Add a little sophistication to your next presentation with the MiracleBeam green laser pointer. Green-beam lasers provide 20 times the visibility typical of red lasers and can even be seen in mid-air. The pointer itself is a discreet black matte cylinder that fits unobtrusively in the palm of your hand.

The laser pointer operates on two AAA batteries (included) and comes in a finely crafted teak case.

What’s in the Box
Laser pointer, two AAA batteries, teak carrying box, instructions, warranty information
Customer Review: Amazing at first.
I was very surprised at how strong the beam was initially. Problem was that the unit is very cheaply made and the contact point with the button became loose by the 2nd hour of operation. This resulted in an inconsistent beam that worked only part of the time.
Customer Review: Well…it is a laser pointer….
I just received my item and after testing it out, the beam is barely visible in daylight. Night time it may go its “600 feet” distance, but the beam is VERY small, and VERY weak. I tried it with some brand new batteries and same effect. it only operates at 5mw of power Click To Buy…
