Just Right2009-03-08
I find this flashlight to be the perfect companion to my night sky viewing. The adjustable intensity allows me to decrease the brightness as my eyes adjust to the darkness. I would have liked the ability to switch between white and red LED's, as the white light would have been handy setting things up. I used a (2AA) battery mag-light with a red lens before and found it to be too bright.
Cheaply made and very bulky for what it is2009-02-24
I recently purchased this flashlight and have been very disappointed. The light from the unit is strong enough for my needs but I'd prefer the small light on my key chain over this product, although Celestron's unit does have a nice brightness control. Orion's light may be a little better for my needs because it also has a white light for all other non-stargazing applications. For those of us who haul their telescopes across dark fields in the middle of the night this light will not help get us to our stargazing spot, but it will help when we get there.
Telescope Flashlight2009-01-06
This is a very nice red beam flashlight. If I would add anything it should be a little brighter. Well worth the money though.
Not worth it2008-09-08
Hi, I purchased this flashlight based on Celestron being a brand that knows about night time. The light from the two LED's is very weak. Yes, it is red, but after this light being completely not enough for the work I was doing, I got some red gel and put it over a flash light. THAT was fine.

Too small, underpowered and over priced. Skip this product.
A helpful tool in the dark2008-04-07
Sure, it's expensive for a flashlight. But - it's cross-section is square, so it doesn't roll away in the dark. The brightness is adjustable so you can tone it down after your eyes have become accustomed to the darkness. The lanyard is very long, so you have a lot of freedom of movement, but it won't get lost easily. Unlike a headlamp, you won't find yourself bonking it against the telescope accidentally.
About the only thing I can think to complain about is the use of a 9V battery...come on! Every other flashlight this size on the planet uses AA size batteries, and I own a pile of rechargeable AAs...but not a single 9V. Recommended.

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
