  • Catching Up: Jeff Bennett's Tele Vue-NP127is Images (6/21/2023)
    Back in 2018, when this blog was still under 100 posts, we featured Jeff Bennett and his Tele Vue-NP127is images. At the time, he praised the scope as an "easy-to-use system that is excellent for both visual use and astrophotography. The scope provides an excellent FOV at f/5.2 with tack-sharp images to the edge." We thought it was time to catch up with Jeff and see what he's been imagining in the five years since we met him.

  • Tele Vue-NP127is Imaging the Skies over Southern Poland! (6/14/2023)
    We found some great images taken by Jan Bielański with the Tele Vue-NP127is under Bortle 3 (rural) skies in southern Poland. He uses a QHY full-frame camera with our Tele Vue LCL-1069 Large Field Corrector for capturing these images. He also employs an extensive suite of software tools.

  • NP127is: Image of the Day! (10/21/2022)
    Nicola Beltraminelli's astro-imaging work came to our attention when he won the AstroBin Image of the Day for his Lion Nebula image taken with the Tele Vue NP127is. Reviewers praise the effort for bringing out the complexity of the nebula with striking details and colors.

    Jerry Macon expands his Tele Vue-NP127is imaging to include Hubble Palette filters and mono camera. We also visit his Dark Star observatory.

  • Imaging the Skies with the Tele Vue-NP127is (2/9/2021)
    We're quite impressed with Frank Wielgus' exquisite collection of wide-field, deep-sky images. They've often been selected as winners in the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh's Kevin J. Brunelle Photography Contest.

  • NP127is Imaging the Skies Over Sydney! (10/2/2020)
    We were struck by the neon-like colors produced by Murray Parkinson's imaging through our Tele Vue-NP127is APO Refractor using different combinations of Hydrogen-alpha (Hα), doubly ionized oxygen (OIII), and ionized sulfur (SII) filters. His Porpoise Nebula image looks like it is leaping out of the page!

Tele Vue's APOD Images
Our "is"-series of scopes are made for imaging. So it is no surprise that many NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (or NASA APOD) selections were created with "is" scopes. See our growing list of APOD images.
