Are you a climber aswell? Did notice the Scarpa chalkbag Really nice kit btw

Great looking kit you have there Not an Expert on berlebach models but I think the difference on the Uni 4 and 8 serie is following: 4 is for "photo" and 8 Astro. But the 4 can also be had in "astro mode" with the spreadstop and tray but always with 1/4" or 3/8" screw mount and the 8 series you can choose all of the different mounts. The number before the model is how tall it is so, 8 < 18 < 28. Same with the Report serie. The first number is height, second is mount module (0, 1, 4, 7) and last is model. so a 212 is taller then 112, have a 1/4" or 3/8" center screw and is model 2.

rigel quikfinder Rigel Quikfinder Review
Joacim replied to FrankRyanJr's topic in Member Equipment Reviews
The Rigel is really expensive in Europe for some reason compared to UK but with the import tax etc it was not worth it ordering from the UK- 23 replies

rigel quikfinder Rigel Quikfinder Review
Joacim replied to FrankRyanJr's topic in Member Equipment Reviews
Great video! I just ordered one over the Telrad even though the Rigel was more expensive due to the fact it is much smaller and lighter and it comes with 2 bases so I can move it between my dob and small refractor.- 23 replies

What equipment got you into astronomy?
Joacim replied to refractor2345's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
Binoculars, Didn't know anything about the sky excepts Orion's belt and the big dipper (Karlavagnen in Swedish). I justed scanned the sky with them and found the Pleiades and my god it looked like a box of jewels. After that I started reading and learning about the sky and telescope and got a SW 8" Dob -
Where do I go from here? Eyepieces for 8" F5.9 Dob
Joacim replied to Joacim's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
My thought was that I maybe could see some details or colour on Jupiter for example with a shorter focal length EP and I really like the wider FoV of my 32 mm so was thinking to get something similiar in the 20-25mm range as the zoom is really narrow at 24 mm. Best would be to try some different eyepieces out before I buy anything more, I just joined an club so hopefully I get som advice from there
