Hello!

We are happy to announce our first Astrophotography competition! Full details can be found on the competition page here. Short version is that there are 2 categories and 4 prizes with the top prizes being; 4 tickets to Greenwich Observatory+£300, and in the second category one of our Theia90 Diagonals.

We currently have a table at the Federation of Astronomical Societies AGM in Birmingham so if you are there come over, check us out and have a chat out our products. If you are here representing a group we have also just started our product loan scheme so you could bag yourself a turret for a month for your astro group!

Wishing you Clear skies.

Alpha Lyra Reviews

On Our Theia 90 Star Diagonal
“First impressions of the diagonal itself are very favourable, looking like a solid and well-engineered piece of equipment.“ “Using Jupiter and a third quarter Moon, I evaluated scatter around the object which can diminish the visibility of low contrast surface features. If there were any differences in brightness and extent of the scatter (measured against the position of the Galilean satellites), I was unable to see it.“ “All these tests lead me to conclude that mirror in the Theia90 is of high quality and very much the equal of other quality, highly reflective mirror diagonals”

On Our Cerberus Case"The team seem rather proud of these cases and just how robust they are as Nick (who stands over 6 feet tall) demonstrated to me at Astrofest by standing on the case and then jumping up and down on it. [...] the Cerberus Case would be an excellent choice for an eyepiece case or as a travel case for a small 6-8cm aperture scope and accessories for trips to dark distant lands as those dimensions comply with the most restrictive of hand baggage allowances."
