  1. Hi all I have two cases the first one I got was with my telescope in 2011 then we moved house in 2012 & they went missing so I bought another eight ep's all plossal's but three were planetary ep's which are outstanding and the other five came in a nice silver case with a red torch and five different coloured lenses to attach to each ep. As soon as I work out how to send the pictures of them I will :-) :-) :-) jimmythemoonlight :-) :-)
  2. Hi I've just read your very informative piece about ep's which is quite enlightening but the problem is it doesn't cover my telescope my telescope is a skywatcher explorer 130 on a eq2 mount the focal length is 900 mm which equates to a ( f6.92) and your piece doesn't mention that I've just bought some plossal ep's for £80 in a case & I'm now wondering if I've done the right thing the lowest is 7.5 and the highest is 25 mm there are five altogether and I also bought three plossal's for viewing the planets only and they are stunning so what do you suggest I do now I also forgot to mention that I've got a x2 Barlow lens which I don't like using very much so if I get away without using I will thanx for incoming advice :-) Jimmy
  3. I would love to show my EP case but don't know how to take a picture and put it in the correct place so if anyone has any ideas I would be very happy to hear from you I'm writing to you on a Motorola XOOM which takes pictures but sending them to this site is a mystery. Jimmy.
  4. this picture is very very good thanks for sharing it with us all well done jimmy
  5. i havn't got used to using the eyepieces yet eg; dont know when to use the barlow lens is it with the 10mm or is it for the wide angled lens for optimum visability also just found out that i can only use the 10mm lens for taking pictures which is a bit restrictive also when it comes to mounts dont know how to set the r/a and the dec ive got a awful lot to learn but im having great fun doing so two nights ago i spotted saturn for the first time it took my breath away also saw two moons spinning around it and the clouds around the rings with a hint of blue cant wait until i can take a picture of it anyway stolenfeather enough about my escapades what can you tell me about yours jimmythemoonlight merseyside
