bit of a war going on mak 90 v heritage 130p
Well ive had the full regalia out tonight, sky watcher 90mm mak out , heritage 130p dob,out and sky watcher 15x70 bins out and the revelation eye kit out. Now then the mak has the power but the contrast is poor on high power, say 9mm 1250 focal length, but heritage 130p has good field veiw but you have to use x2 barlow and 15mm ep 650 focal length for Jupiter quite sharp though.. Trouble with heritage dob is that the focuser his screw helix type, and there is a bit of slop in it. Pliedies does not fit in ep even with 32mm projection in mak but heritage 25mm ep does nearly. Went to mizar to split it with mak, easy with 20mm ep in, heritage again x2 barlow and 9mm full power and pushing the dob to limit. oh yeah trying to master the setting circles on mak eq1 what a pain, fumbling around in dark undoing the dec knobs etc, and the ra scale is a mile out only 10 minutes increments!! polar aligned first, scale red 60 degrees, instead of 53 degrees for my long.The dob is easy to move by far, and i can cover a lot of area, i got the mak for the setting circles so i can find other stuff!!
