Arctic Star Clear Backpack

[Zipper] Xenon 3.0 Large Backpack Select a rating below(Select 5 stars = Excellent, 1 star = Poor) ★★★★★ ★★★★☆ ★★★☆☆ ★★☆☆☆ ★☆☆☆☆ Xenon 3.0 Large Backpack I have been looking for a good backpack for several months. Usually they are too big or too small. Some cost way too much & some are just not very well made. As I have other Samsonite luggage I thought I would give this one a try. First, it is well constructed of quality materials. It's storage areas are smartly organized & versatile. It's interior volume of ~28 liters makes it the perfect size for me, as I plan to use it as an airline travel personal or carry on item. I like it!

[Individual] These binoculars are beyond amazing. I took them to a star party at Vasquez Rocks and I was seeing more clear images than ten inch Celestron reflectors. The binoculars were light and I didn't need a tripod to use it. The other amateur astronomers are considering getting a pair of these also as setting up telescopes can be a pain. B&H shipped it super fast and will be getting more business from us in the future.

[32 x 26 x 12.5"] MY SHORT REVIEW: This is a great Telescope, Mount and Tripod. It's a good size for portability, it has exceptional image quality, it's easy to use and is made of quality materials. MY LONG REVIEW: On my first night of good seeing and clear skies I was able to see fantastic views of a Waxing Crescent Moon, Jupiter and at least 3 of it's moons and a tiny red spec called Mars. My first set up and SkyAlign(ment) took about 10 minutes (assembly, lining up the star pointer and the scope, leveling the tripod, typing in location and date info, 3 star align). The moon practically fills the field of view of the included 25mm Plssl eyepiece. And although Jupiter was clear, a shorter focal length eyepiece or barlow lens will be needed for a larger, and probably dimmer, image. My location in the city surrounded by trees in my back yard didn't allow me to see any deep space objects, so I'm looking forward to finding some nebulas and galaxies. I was originally thinking about getting the 6 or 8 NexStar SE but I was persuaded to get the 5 after doing a lot of research on viewing in the city and the fact that the 4 and 5 NexStar SE telescope tripods have an Equatorial Wedge feature that the 6 and 8 models do not have. This is important for long exposure astrophotography and that is something I may want to try in the future. I also used the scope to see distant buildings since Catadioptrics can be used for terrestrial viewing as well. But be aware that although the view is top-up corrected with the mirror star diagonal, it's not left-right corrected as it would be with a prism diagonal. I also read many reviews stating that an external power supply in conjunction with the 8 AA batteries will last longer. The AA batteries being used for those rare times the power cord is pulled out accidentally. So far I feel that this is a great investment for myself and my family to enjoy astronomy. Clear Skies!

[0.65 lb] 5 star

[0.32 lb] I have not used them yet. Going to the Arctic Circle in December. I'll let you know how good they are if I don't get frostbite.

[Roof (BAK4)] or an arctic fox chasing mice. Nothing better than these binox, especially as there are no batteries to charge, when in the wilderness

[Yes] This is a 5 star tripod

5 star

[Yellow] Five star !

[Black] I work about 250 miles above the arctic circle and do a lot of photo while at work, so these gloves have been a godsend. Most days are well below zero temperatures (Fahrenheit & Celsius) so having warm hands is essential to staying safe, but also enjoying my time outside. Being able to put hand warmers in the zippered pockets is a bonus for those really cold and windy days.
