Description
THE SMARTEST TELESCOPE IN THE UNIVERSE!
A truly revolutionary product with ground breaking technology, SkyProdigy™ is the product of a culmination of decades of telescope advancements. It combines electronic motors, an intelligent on-board computer, a digital camera and StarSense™ technology to create an automatic, instant alignment telescope that requires no input from the user. Simply turn it on, push a button and enjoy the view! It’s that easy.
The SkyProdigy’s automatic alignment process takes only a few minutes, then you will be ready to select from thousands of objects to view. Not sure what to look at? Select the Sky Tour option; this feature offers a customized list of the best objects in the sky to view for your exact time and location anywhere in the world!
NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE NIGHT SKY IS REQUIRED. ONE TOUCH INNOVATION TURNS ANYONE INTO AN INSTANT ASTRONOMER!
Celestron’s SkyProdigy telescopes use an integrated imaging camera and patented StarSense Technology to automatically align with the night sky and determine where the telescope is currently pointing. The camera automatically captures an image of the sky, which is processed internally to positively identify the stars in the image. Once a positive match is found, SkyProdigy determines the coordinates of the center of the captured image. The process is automatically repeated two more times so that the system has three known alignment points that can be used to make an accurate model of the night sky. From this information the user can select any celestial object in the hand controller’s database, and SkyProdigy will automatically move itself to the correct position.
*THE SKYPRODIGY’S INTERNAL CAMERA DOES NOT HAVE AN EXTERNAL OUTPUT ALLOWING USERS TO VIEW OR SAVE THE CAPTURED IMAGES. THE CAPTURED IMAGES ARE USED INTERNALLY SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SELF-ALIGNING THE SKYPRODIGY TELESCOPE.

Overview
The shallow white umbrella with its highly reflective cover is often chosen for its slightly warmer tones and softer shadow transition.
When the reflective cover is removed this converts into a translucent umbrella offering a choice between shoot-through and reflected use.
The difference between the two can easily be seen in the catch-light of any reflective surface.

• Neutral Nylon Fabric for Balanced White Balance; Black Backing
• Limited 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Start controlling and modifying your light with this Silver/Black Umbrella. In general, the umbrella will soften and broaden the light output of any strobe or lower wattage constant light. This model features a reflective silver interior to provide a crisper, more focused light, revealing structure and detail in your subjects. The umbrella also has a black backing to minimize light loss and light spill while maximizing output. Silver umbrellas add specular highlights - a little bit more 'snap' than a white umbrella. Silver umbrellas may also add ½-1 f/stop of light output, depending on the light source used. Most studio lights include a built-in umbrella receptacle for instant mounting. There are also a variety of mounting brackets available for speedlights with adjustable and tiltable options for precise positioning. Additional control can be achieved by fine-tuning the 'focus' of the beam by varying the flash head's position along the umbrella's shaft.

Fotodiox Universal Barn Door Barndoor Kit with Honeycomb grid (45 Degree), Diffusion and Color Gels for Strobe Light with 5.5" - 7" Reflector
Fotodiox SKU: BarndoorKit-Universal | Helix SKU: FXBarndoorKitUniversal
Overview
The Universal Barndoor Kit comes with a grid and three color gels within metal frames. Barndoor devices alter the shape, amount, or color of the light output from the flash heads. The universal barndoor fits a reflector diameter of 5.5-7in and also has a built-in holder for metal and color gels.
Using a barndoor set attached to the front of the reflector of your light source will allow you to control the light cast on a subject. The more leaves on a barndoor set and the longer the leaves are, the more the light 'beam' may be specifically controlled. Positioning of the leaves will determine the size of the light shaft. Rotating the leaves will determine the angle of the shaft of light. A 4-leaf barndoor provides more light control than a 2-leaf barndoor set.

The LX200-ACF includes all the field-proven features of the LX200 including GPS, Primary Mirror Lock, Oversized Primary Mirror, SmartDrive; Smart Mount, AutoStar II and more. The new LX200-ACF. It’s the biggest news in astronomy since, well, the LX200.The “advanced” in Advanced Coma-Free. A traditional Ritchey-Chrétien (RC) is a type of reflector that delivers a coma-free, flat field of view via hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors. Because the mirrors in these telescopes have always been very expensive to make, few amateur astronomers could enjoy them. Fortunately, Meade engineers developed a radical new Advanced Coma Free design by combining a hyperbolic secondary mirror with a corrector-lens-and-spherical-primary-mirror combination that performs as one hyperbolic element. This ACF design produces a coma-free, flat field of view that rivals traditional RC telescopes at a fraction of the cost. The design even eliminates diffraction spikes and improves astigmatism, both of which are inherent in the traditional RC design. When reviewing Meade’s LX200-ACF Advanced Coma Free, Sky and Telescope magazine said, “ [It] does indeed perform like a [Ritchey-Chrétien]. The difference between the off-axis images (compared to a Schmidt-Cassegrain) was dramatic to say the least.”
