Astrophotography Holiday Gift Ideas – 2019

Find the perfect for the Astrophotography (or visual astronomy) person in your life!

Mosquito Repellent

Thermacell MR300 Portable Mosquito Repellent. The nature of astrophotography and astronomy means you will be outside with nature. I use this when the mosquitos get bad or annoying. 

It really works!

Red Light Head Lamp

The last thing you want is to light blind your helpers. This head lamp allows you to turn on/off only the red light. You don’t have to cycle through the white light just to get to the red. Perfect for star parties or when you have someone helping you. Red LED Headlight/Head Lamp

Astrophotography can be a trip hazard and a safety risk. Stay safe and light your way. Stay courteous!

Portable, Adjustable Height, Folding Table

After watching many astrophotography YouTube videos, I have noticed most people are using makeshift tables, lawn chairs and very low tables. I have found this table to be adjustable to the perfect height. It also provides enough room to allow for a laptop, lens caps and other items you need during your imaging session. Portable adjustable height, folding table.

Filter Wrenches

Sometimes you accidentally screw on your filters or extension tubes too tight. Easily remove your filters when they can’t be removed by hand.

Set of 2, 48 – 58mm, Filter Wrenches.

Stop bending over, save your back, or your knees! If you image with a DSLR this view finder is for you.  Works with Viewfinder for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Panasonic and Other Digital Cameras.
