The Tiffen 127mm Low Light Linear Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. This results in a noticeable increase in the saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer imagery when photographing in hazy conditions. A linear polarizer differs from a circular polarizer in that it does not supports use of a camera's autofocus or auto exposure functions; it is best suited for use with manual cameras, such as view cameras, that are not dependent on internal mechanisms to determine focus or metering settings.

This low light polarizer has less of a polarizing effect than a standard polarizer, allowing for it to be used in indoor and darker situations when available light is at a premium. This filter is also more ideal to pair with others so the filter factor does not become overwhelming. The low light linear polarizer requires approximately 1 stop of exposure compensation.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings.

Low light polarizer is less dense than a standard polarizer, allowing for greater light transmission and more versatility when working in darker conditions.

Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.

Polarizing filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.

Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.

Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.

Constructed using Tiffen's ColorCore technology.

Q: 1. How can I buy this?

A: Currently B&H is not accepting any7 preorders on the Celestron AstroMaster 114EQ 114mm f/8.8 Reflector Telescope BH #CEAM114EQ • MFR #31042

Q: 2. what kind of things can i see with this, without needed to buy any extras?

A: Bottom line is buy this set! The telescope, tripod, equatorial mount, software and rd flashlight is worth EVERY penny. To be honest, you'll have to buy additional eyepieces. The 4mm eyepiece is not useful with this telescope because of the aperture and focal length. I suggest buying a quality zoom eyepiece (one piece but includes five or six different magnification stops) and a shorty 2x Barlow.With these, you can see Jupiter and its striated atmosphere AND several of its moons (the number of visible moons depends on the time of year. I've seen Jupiter and four of its moons ibn the same field of view). You can see Mars and its varying shades of brownish red. You can see Saturn and its rings. With the 2x Barlow, you can see the space between the planet and its rings!Observing the moon with the eyepiece I've suggested will absolutely knock your socks off! In fact, observing the moon from half to full is so bright you may want to consider buying a moon filter. It's not necessary but you'll understand once you've marveled at the full moon! You may even be able to observe nebulae, galaxies and clusters. I've had my telescope, the same one you're considering, since early June and because of where I live and the time of year, I haven't been able to view any of those yet.The day my telescope arrived and using only the contents on the box, I spent hours looking at the moon. I lost track of time because I was mesmerized. At about 2am, my wife came outside and told me I had to quiet down (I was oohing and ahhing, pretty loudly I'm told!) I was so taken, I had several telescope parties over the summer, inviting every friend who expressed an interest. EVERY person that looked through the eyepiece voiced their amazement at what they were observing. The loudest oohs and ahs came from looking at Saturn and the moon. I must disclose that for the parties i was using my zoom eyepiece and the 2x shorty Barlow.What I'm saying is BUY IT! It's a fantastic telescope for beginners and intermediates.Enjoy!

Q: 3. Can this telescope be used with a DSLR for astrophotography?

A: Theoretically yes. You would need parts that don't come with the telescope, like some kind of lens adapter. Also a kit to motorize the mount, if you're doing any kind of long exposure. It does come with a manual that offers tips for that sort of thing.

Q: 4. What type of focuser does this unit have? Is it a bird Jones?

A: The scope is outfitted with a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser.

Q: 5. I need this for my Para 133 and Flooter Broncolor. Is it ok? or better will be 126csu manfrotto?

A: This stand is plenty strong for the Broncolor Para 133 or the Broncolor Flooter Fresnel.

Q: 6. what will i be able to see with this? can i see the andromeda?(sorry if i spelled it wrong)

A: I've been able to see some beautiful moon craters and the rings of Saturn. We're all a little spoiled by the amazing images taken by Hubble and other NASA spacecraft, so don't expect miracles from an Earth-bound telescope. Depending on where you live, there will be atmospheric distortion as well as light pollution that makes things a little less sharp.I found an article that set my expectations accurately , but cannot paste the link here. Just Google for stargazers lounge What Can I Expect to See.... The one issue I've had with this scope is that the equatorial mount is hard to use and a bit finicky and the spotting scope is almost useless. The telescope itself gathers a lot of light, but aiming it in the right direction can be tedious with this mount. I suggest you take a look at a Dobsonian-style mount for easier viewing.

Q: 7. My powerseeker eq does not have a latitude lock what can i do?

A: I would recommend getting in touch with Celestron directly with this inquiry. CelestronTel: 310-328-9560 or 310-803-5955 Website http://www.celestron.com/

Q: 8. Is this easy to setup? I have never worked with a telescope before and am not much of a camera person.

A: In my opinion (as an amateur), it is not easy to set up. You have to first collimate it before you can see anything, and that requires taking the thing apart a little. We have someone from the museum teaching us how to use it or we likely wouldnt be able to figure it out ourselves. Our telescope tutor says it really is a great beginner telescope so if you can find someone who knows what they are doing then it shouldnt be too terrible.

Q: 9. Does a tripod come with this?

A: Yes. Tripod is part of the package.

Q: 10. Is the telescope itself metal or is it cheap plastic?

A: it is metal. overall parts quality is good
