Massive telescopes on the way!
After all the interest in the JWST (James Webb Space Telescope), did you know a new generation of vast ground-based telescopes are now under construction?

Looks like there's even more amazing images of the Universe on the horizon courtesy of the JWST. We'll keep you updated with them as well as the best places to find them. Did you know a new generation of ground-based telescopes are now under construction? When finished, they'll have resolutions many times that of the Hubble Space Telescope and who knows what discoveries will be made in the coming years.
This BINTEL article touches on some of these new optical telescopes, why there's no "Hubble 2.0" on the horizon and even covers the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope that will be located in Australia and South Africa.
Astronomy Calendar 2023 is here now $19.95
Didn't 2022 just start a few days ago?
The Astronomy Calendar 2023 has just arrived at BINTEL.
This popular calendar features 13 stunning images of the night sky, all winners or honourable mentions of the prestigious David Malin Awards 2022.
Simple and effective way to handle dew for DSLR lenses or small refractors - runs off a standard USB power bank and only $49.95
Following on from our recent articles about dew control, we've just had this effective dew control belt arrive at BINTEL.
Haida Dew Control System
It simply plugs into a standard USB power source such as a power bank. The heater control has three settings. The Haida suits both DSLR lenses and small refractors up to about 100mm diameter. We think this is one the easiest ways to control dew for your small optics.
