Moonshane Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 What about a Herschel wedge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Daystar Quark for solar h-alpha? Best astro thing I have bought, though the Sun has got to my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Can't think that an Evostar 90 would give you anything you haven't got already Jules.I think the Herschel Wedge is a great idea. You love your lunar observing so I think it would be something you would like too.Quark would be great too, or a Lunt 50?Or how about that Dob you threatened the other day? :-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfisher Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Gonna get myself shot, or at least demoted now...........................but im not really "into" Solar, i dabble on the odd occasion so no Lunt or Hershel jobby, and was jesting about the dobI really dont need the 90 evostar, just sort of fancy one, i dont think i will bother though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightfisher Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 120 ED would be nice but think i would have to sell all other scopes to justify, thinking maybe a Vixen scope could be nice, i miss my old 80 f11, and sort of like a VMC110 but heard mixed things about them, this wont be for a while even if offer is accepted, will take a while to get money into bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceboy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I do enjoy my Helios 90mm but I agree as others have said in that it wouldn't really offer you anything you haven't already got. A 120ED would be a no brainer for me if I were in your shoes but then you already know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macavity Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 How many way can one SEE a *visual* target? Maybe a (challenging, budget) 8" / F4 Photo-Newt?Video Astronomy? When one is "fairy well served" with scopes, perhaps a change of direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfisher Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Decided what to get, a bit of a surprise but a scope i have sort of hankered after for a while, it will work very well as a grab an go, and will be good on my AZ4 plus my AZ supertrack for webcam lunar and solar..............the Vixen vmc110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
