SUNSET: 
Shooting Stars
Shooting Stars — and anything else that requires long exposures — is within your reach with Orion Telescope & Binoculars new StarShoot Deep Space Color Imager II.
Multipurpose Spectograph
You can view the solar spectrum or split spectroscopic binary stars with Shelyak Instruments Lhires III Spectrograph.
Lightweight Observatory
Smart Astronomy has introduced the Clear-View Portable Observatory Tent, a lightweight and effective means for you to observe in comfort, free from wind and annoying stray light.
Economical "Go To"
With the overwhelming popularity of Go To telescopes, it's surprising that a product like the Cube from iOptron hasn't come along before now.
Affordable Narrowband
Baader Planetarium, long a source of premium astronomy accessories, now expands its line of imaging filters to include a set of four narrowband filters.
Clear-Sky Gadget
If you live in North America and have a PC running Windows Vista, you can have Attilla Danko's Clear Sky Clock (CSC) on your desktop 24 hours a day.
Smart Eyepieces
Smart Astronomy has introduced an affordable line of high-power eyepieces.
Cloud Control
Diffraction Limited's new Boltwood Portable Cloud Sensor enables you to sleep when conditions are astronomically poor, and then alerts you with an alarm when the skies clear.
Extra Narrowband Hydrogen-Alpha Imaging Filter
Orion Telescopes & Binoculars' new Extra Narrowband Hydrogen-Alpha Imaging Filter lets you shoot high-contrast views of emission nebulae even from light-polluted locations.
Portable Tracking
Orion Telescopes & Binoculars now offers the TeleTrack, an ultra-portable mount built for small telescopes and cameras with telephoto lenses.
Canon DSLR Filters
If you own a Canon digital SLRcamera, you’ll soon be able to protect its sensor from dust during long exposures with Astronomik’s new EOS Filter Clip System.
Stellar Apo
Stellarvue adds a new affordable 4-inch apochromat to its line of premium-quality refractors.
Apo Bargain
Another good deal from Orion Telescopes & Binoculars comes in the form of its new Orion Premium 102mm F/7 ED Refractor.
Lightbridge Knobs
The Astronomy-Shoppe now offers the Meade Rescue Kit — a hardware upgrade for the collimation adjustments on Meade's LightBridge Dobsonian telescopes.
An Ancient Building Block of Life
Astronomers have long assumed that carbon-based molecules — essential for life as we know it — were among the building blocks of our solar system. Now they have the evidence to back their claims. The smoking gun came from measurements of the famed Tagish Lake meteorite.
Titan: Assembling the Puzzle
Since it arrived at the ringed planet, NASA's Cassini orbiter has flown past Saturn's cloud-enshrouded moon Titan nearly two dozen times. And with each encounter, scientists come closer to piecing together the complex story of the Saturnian system's largest satellite.
A Curiouser and Curiouser KBO
To date astronomers have found more than 1,000 Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) beyond Neptune. The strangest one of all may have fathered a whole KBO family.
Mauna Kea Earthquake Update
The telescopes atop Hawaii's tallest peak were shaken by Sunday's 6.6-magnitude temblor, but appear to have survived relatively unscathed.
Discoveries in Saturn's Dark
In September the Cassini spacecraft observed Saturn from within the planet's shadow. Astronomers used the unique illumination to find new rings and much more.
Cometary Puzzles
At this week's Division for Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California, astronomers spent two days presenting research about the elusive question of comet composition. One might assume that the makeup of dirty snowballs should be consistent. However, the consensus in the halls of the Pasadena Convention Center this week is that they can differ wildly from each other.
