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 :-) :-)

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

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.

i have just bought five new plossl ep's that means i have nine altogether what type of case would you think was suitable to keep them safe i also have a few bits and pieces to go in ie red led tourch and the things to tighten the screws on my eq2 stand things like that thanx for the info jimmythemoonlight

great advice wh i have a skywatcher 130p which has a focal length of 900 i think its a f6 just bought five plossl ep's 6.3 mm 10 mm 15 mm 20 mm and 40mm what do you think i should use the x2 barlow lens with if anything also have a 25mm wide angle long eye relief which gives me alot of viewing pleasure many thanx for for your information looking forward to our reply jimmythemoonlight

TOP DRAW !!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is an amazing project totally impressed at every level just one question maybe 2 do you favour one eye or the other when looking through and how would you move it to say the countryside could you take it apart easily my brother was a very good student of engineering in school so much so he built a normal telescope from scratch and got a a level for it and it was put on the school roof unfortunely the scool is no longer there but he also built one in our back garden he is nine years my senior hence my attraction to this wonderful subject by the way the schools name was john hamilton in liverpool once again AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!! jimmythemoonlight
