Arriving This Week! ZWO Seestar S30 Pro Smart TelescopeAlmost Here — March 12!The Seestar S30 Pro is about to land, and if you haven't secured your spot yet, you might want to move faster than a meteor in Perseid season. ZWO took everything people loved about the original Seestar and cranked it up: quadruplet APO optics for sharper, color-correct images, a 4K Sony IMX585 main sensor with 4× the light-sensitive area of the S30, and a wide-angle IMX586 sensor with an 84° field of view for Milky Way and star trail photography. New tricks include one-tap Milky Way shots, 8K mosaic stitching, constellation recognition, and a Plan Mode that lets you schedule targets so you can actually sleep while your telescope does the work. At just 1.65 kg, this is astrophotography that fits in your backpack. $859.00 CAD |

Now In Stock! Pegasus Astro SmartEye — The World's First Smart EyepieceIn StockThis one's been the talk of the astronomy world, and for good reason. The Pegasus Astro SmartEye takes the familiar form factor of a 2" eyepiece and packs in a Sony IMX533 cooled camera sensor, a 2560×2560 OLED display, live-stacking software, and wireless connectivity. The result? You observe visually through the eyepiece while simultaneously imaging. Faint galaxies and nebulae that look like gray smudges through a traditional eyepiece suddenly come alive in vibrant color — in real time. It's electronically assisted astronomy (EAA) made simple: just slide it into your focuser and go. It also doubles as a full-fledged cooled astro camera with FITS file capture, and it's powered by SkySafari for plate-solving and object identification. Whether you're doing outreach, showing friends the cosmos, or just tired of squinting at dim fuzzies, SmartEye is a game-changer. $2,270.00 CAD |
