Star Finder guide book and red LED torch set

This popular guide book and torch set is an ideal compliment for a starter telescope or binocular that is to be used to explore the night sky. The red LED torch emits light that will actually protect your night adapted vision. After you've been out in the dark for 10 minutes your vision almost doubles in sensitivity - it's like putting a faster film in a camera. But if you use white light torch (to look at the star charts for example) you will instantly lose this sensitivity and will have to wait for a few minutes again to build it up. With our special red light torch you can read the book and look at the night sky without interruption.
