About Kunming Optical

We differentiate ourselves in two ways of thinking: 1) We first find out the most experience staff, let them look for the best binoculars and telescopes manufactured all over the established optical factories in China, and then we choose the binoculars and telescopes models that are the most cost-effective. Result: it has been proved that all the binoculars, telescopes, monocular and spotting scopes listed in our catalogue are competitive winner-products in the markets all around the world. 2) We should pay more attention to the small business, even the home-based business for they're more adapted to specific niche markets, and due to the less levels of distribution and lower operation cost, they sell directly to the consumers at much lower price. Working with them, we can "fight our way out of the heavy encirclement of big guys". ¡¤ What we believe.

CN FORUMS ARCHIVE Telescope Reviews: Amateur Bino Mount Making (ABMM)

P-mounts and unpowered Binochairs While I have gone thru a lot of trial and error, many of the errors were successful up to a point. That point being the amount of bino weight a mount could carry or ergonomics. So while a design wouldn’t work for the heavier big binos, it would work for lighter ones and therefore not worthy of the “It didn’t work” label. I could get into the nitty gritty of building various bino mounts, but that would be like writing a book which I don’t have time for.

It passes in front of and between the binocular objectives. A hand-nut is used to adjust elevation. Not shown are holes for attaching an "L" bracket (to accomodate smaller binoculars), an altitude scale, an azimuth circle, and a red-dot finder. The mount is balanced (with 25x100 binoculars) at elevations up to 38 degrees. Beyond 38 degrees a person can either tighten the hand-nut that attaches the fork to the tripod or add a counter-weight.

These include fences, tree branches, hide railings, tubular structures and even tripods, which enables you to use two pieces of equipment like a camera and a pair of binoculars with one tripod. What to look for in a good clamp Look for a clamp that obviously is well constructed and sturdy as there is no point in using any sort of stabilisation device that is not stable! The jaws of the clamp should have a tough rubber surface to help them grip to what ever it is you want, but also so that if you do attached it to your window, it does not mark or scratch it. The maximum width of the jaw or the "jaw size" can also be important as the wider it can go, the more versatile your clamp will be.

Another DIY Parallelogram Binocular Mount Submitted: Wednesday, 28th March 2007 by Dennis Simmons Introduction At the Queensland Astrofest in 2003 I stood mesmerised by the sight of a fellow astronomer, gliding effortlessly around the cosmos on his commercial, motorised, binocular chair, replete with GoTo capability.

Another DIY Parallelogram Binocular Mount

The whole two-eyed, recline-in-comfort, “drive-me-there” observing experience looked simply awesome. At the time, I had with me my Vixen giant binocular (30x125), supported by the very nice Vixen Alt-Az fork mount, all fitted on a home made wooden tripod. Much later, I began thinking of a parallelogram design that incorporated the Vixen fork arms, to be used in a recliner. I started the design at the fork mount support end, working backwards to select components and materials that would support this substantial cantilevered weight. Astronomy Binoculars - Discount Oberwerk, Miyauchi, Fujinon Binoculars. Steve Lee's telescopes. I now have a nicely large telescope mounted in my dome - a 50-cm (20-inch) f/4·5 Newtonian on an alt-az mount. (It's not a Dobsonian - it has bearings and machined surfaces and real soon now a computer-controlled drive system. JD would not approve.)

The optics were made by George Livanos from a 30mm thick piece of plate glass. At f/4·5 it is faster than I like (I prefer f/5 or slower for visual use) but the price was right and I was willing to compromise. A 90mm minor axis secondary mirror is used. The OTA is made from 25mm aluminium RHS, 1.6mm thick. The mounting is designed from the ground up to be computer controlled. The altitude pivot is a large disc on one side, and a large bearing on the other. Encoders have been fitted. The azimuth encoder, however, is a very clever design by my friend Rob.

Equipment (How To) - Binoculars for Astronomy. If you're new to astronomy, you've probably been flipping through magazines like Sky & Telescope and Night Sky and marveling at the pictures of celestial objects.

Surely you want to see these objects in real life. But what if you don't have a telescope? What if I told you that, within limits, you can find galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae without a telescope? Sound too good to be true? Well, if you've got an ordinary pair of binoculars lying around, astronomical observing is just a clear night away. Beginning stargazers often overlook binoculars, but experienced observers keep them close at hand. 173cm Monopod with Ballhead securing foot and carry bag (eBay item 230569198057 end time 03-Mar-11 09:02:46 AEDST) : Cameras.
