A Red Night Vision Torch is one of the most beneficial accessories you can own as an amateur astronomer, no matter how occasional your night sky observations may be. When you are outside doing astronomy, or any night-time activity that requires you to see as well as possible, any white light is a detriment as it causes your eyes to react. The pupils contract, making their aperture smaller, and a smaller aperture always means less light-gathering, whether we are talking about your eyes or your optical equipment. A red torch allows you to see your star charts, find an eyepiece in your accessory case, or pick your way over telescope cables and other obstacles without affecting your night vision. The better your night vision, the more you can see in the eyepiece.The Celestron Night Vision Torch uses two LED’s to provide variable red illumination. Use the thumb wheel to adjust the light as you need it. The square shape of the flashlight keeps it from rolling off of your observing table to the ground. A lanyard is attached so you can wear it around your neck. The Night Vision Flashlight is powered by a 9V battery (included).Key Features Keep your night vision intact by using a red torch when observing The Night Vision Torch uses two red LED’s for even and variable illumination controlled by an easy to use thumb wheel Square shape keeps the Night Vision Torch from rolling away Powered by an included 9V battery

Control your Nikon or Canon DSLR from the Digital Director for iPad Mini 2/3 from Manfrotto. The Digital Director is an advanced tether solution comprised of three main components: a user-supplied iPad, an Apple Certified Digital Director iPad holder with a built-in micro processor, and the Digital Director App. These three components work together seamlessly to provide you with control over your camera's still and video functions right from the iPad.The heart of the Digital Director is the iPad holder which is customized to securely fit the iPad Mini 2/3 and features a lock to prevent accidental release. The iPad slips into the holder and the Lightning connector provides communication between the iPad and the built-in ARM Cortex A8 600MHz micro processor, and a USB cable connects the unit to the camera. The processor allows for real-time live view monitoring when shooting stills or videos, as well as fast download speeds when transferring full size JPEGs from the camera's memory card to the iPad.Digital Director App The intuitive iPad application controls key functions of your Nikon or Canon DSLR camera such as focus point, exposure, aperture and shutter speed. The app provides real-time live view monitoring, manual focus control with focus peaking, and touchscreen point autofocus. Interactive Focus can be used to select the focus point anywhere on the iPad's screen. Digital zoom magnifies the selected focus point to ensure crisp and accurate focus. A toolbar shows histograms, exposure controls, focus controls, colour temperature, the shutter button, and audio levels when shooting video. In full-screen mode the floating toolbar can be moved anywhere on the screen, and the individual control can be opened and flicked away to remove on-screen clutter. Image star ratings allow you to sort images, and the app can organize them into albums, shoot profiles, and connection profiles. Download full-size JPEGs to the iPad and adjust the image's exposure, contrast, and light. You can also crop and rotate the image, check the histogram and EXIF data. Once complete, you can share your edited images via FTP, Email, or on social networks directly from your iPad's camera roll.The app allows you to choose between single shot mode or continuous mode using the large shutter button on the iPad screen.
