Bay City Western Middle School Supply List

I use it in a middle school. Works great. Durable.

Best solution for indoor power supply but could have put the transformer at the end not in the middle.

This is the first telescope I have ever owned and I have tried it under different circumstances. At a place moderately effected by city lights during half moon, at a place with relatively lower light pollution with full moon shining, and in the middle of the city with Saturn in the view. As a beginner, I can say that the results are satisfying and the experience is full of new lessons and excitement. Even in the middle of the city, without aligning the telescope for tracking the targets, I was able to manually track Saturn at a magnification level of 160X using my smart phone and the views get better and better as you manage to run further away from the city lights. The tube is of average build quality with some problems on the collimation knobs of the primary and the secondary mirrors for the unit I had received. I fixed the secondary mirror issue by myself and B&H was very helpful for contacting Celestron about the bent primary mirror knob. Even more satisfying was the prompt response of Celestron by sending me a spare knob in less than a week for free. The tripod is sturdy and does the job. I suggest anyone with intention to have this telescope to buy a 12V rechargeable battery for a price of $15-25 with free shipping from China (or ebay). A 6800mAh battery will be probably more than you will need even for long nights of observation. Another issue is the eyepieces and the non-existing filters. For a more serious observation on the planets and the moon, the cheap Kellner eyepieces (10 and 25 mm) available in the box are not enough and you are going to aim for a moon filter (possibly with a transmission ratio of 25%). A 4 or 5 mm eyepiece or a Barlow of 2X might be good additions. In case one looks for improving the skills and also having some deep sky observation, the planetary filters and a T-ring with a corresponding adapter for a specific digital camera will be the next steps in my opinion.

All studio cameras should have a power supply like this. No more changing the batteries in the middle of the shoot.

This thing is awesome! Does everything I need it to do. One thing to be aware of - it DOES come with a power supply, even though it's not listed in the What's In The Box list.

I didn't know what these were for when I bought it, I just bought what was on my class supply list. I think it was a little pricy, but it works great and I do like having different colored sides.

This is a very reliable microphone. I use it with 11-14 year old middle school students and they hold up very well.

I have 2 T3 and 3 T5 Canons.. Easy to use by Middle school yearbook staff.. Great quality Photos

I've always found Western Digital products to be trustworthy, from old school mechanical drives to solid state, and this SSD is no exception. Great capacity and good performance at this price point, all from a known, quality manufacturer.

I am a public address announcer for our city's high school basketball and football games. The Micmute PT works perfect with my headset. It allows me to speak and write at the same time during the game without holding a microphone. I had a similar style pedal switch but like the Micmute PT better, no doubt.
