Hydrophobic agent for cleaning and maintenance of firearms and air rifles. Effortlessly eliminates dust and aged lubricants while delivering dependable protection against corrosion, squeaks, and rust. Upon use, a protective layer is created on the weapon's surface to repel water. Minimizes friction and reduces component wear, prolonging service life and guaranteeing flawless performance of all weapon mechanisms.
Easy-to-use applicator enables the grease to be sprayed either as a direct stream or as a fine mist. Suitable for all varieties of firearms and air guns, the formula is safe for use on metal, wood, paint, lacquer, ceramics, rubber, and plastic. Delivers effective protection in temperatures from -60 to +250 degrees Celsius. Reaches inaccessible spots and allows application straight onto wet surfaces.
The Virtuoso Telescope stands out as a versatile instrument with extensive functionalities. Its construction merges elements of a portable telescope suited for beginners with a computerized photographic head featuring an accurate electric drive. Serving as a tripod, the device supports photographing chosen objects in a predetermined order, producing timelapse sequences and spherical panoramas. A compact design adds to its advantages—the lightweight telescope is table-friendly and stands several dozen centimeters tall.
Astronomical use of the Virtuoso
Virtuoso is a fully functional astronomical telescope utilizing the Maksutov-Cassegrain optical system, perfect for straightforward sky observations. Notable for crisp imaging and freedom from chromatic aberration, it comes equipped with a 90 mm lens and two eyepieces (with 20 mm and 10 mm focal lengths). These eyepieces provide magnifications of 62x and 125x, enabling detailed Moon views as well as observations of primary planets, such as Jupiter’s equatorial belts, Saturn’s rings, or Mars' polar ice caps.
Virtuoso excels through its capability to track celestial targets. Outfitted with an advanced mechanism featuring stepper motors and dual-axis encoders—patented by Sky-Watcher—the system seamlessly tracks objects across both axes. Virtuoso is compatible with SynScan AZ controllers from larger Dobsonian telescopes (controllers not included). Straightforward operation means that by leveling the telescope and supplying geographic coordinates, Virtuoso automatically commences real-time object tracking.
Virtuoso in photographic applications
Included is a robust mount for attaching cameras. Automated features in the mount make it possible to compose timelapses, record video with steady tracking, photograph several preset subjects in cycles, and execute panoramic imaging, including complete 360-degree shots.
A 2.5 mm mini-jack shutter release cable is integrated into the mount, compatible with all Canon models from the three- and four-digit ranges (such as 300D, 400D, 1000D, 550D, and more). The Virtuoso can be set upon a photo tripod rated for approximately 10 kg with a 3/8" connection; a reducer to 1/4" is also included. Attaching the telescope tube to a camera requires a dedicated T-Ring for the appropriate camera model.
The set comes with:
- 1.25" mirror diagonal (90 deg. ),
- Star Pointer sight,
- 1.25" Super 20 and Super 10 eyepieces,
- "L" adapter with 1/4" thread for camera mounting,
- Compass,
- 2.5 mm mini-jack shutter release cable.
The camera depicted in one of the photos does not come included.
