Hey, anyone using or used one of these? Thinking of adding one to the collection. What would the planet views be like ? Options are , buy this or spend the money on a few more DeLites for the Dob

Stunning images, Stu! Well impressed π

Barlow lens doesnβt focus with eyepieces
Mart29 replied to Hal-9000's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
Sometimes you literally need tiny tiny movements on the focuser knobs . The difference for me being in focus and out is literally a couple of millimetres. Also , the barlow and eyepiece should be outside to cool for 30 mins plus or it looks misty / out of focus -
Well happy with Europa's shadow on Jupiter this evening

Thanks mate. Yeah, single shots. Used the 200P but swapped the 10 Edge eyepiece for the 11mm TeleVu with x2 barlow. Used my Samsung Z Fold , which has a crap camera compared to some. Some nights the Celestron HD Edge 10mm is the best but others the 11mm TeleVu DeLite is unbeatable -
Amazing work and effort put in! Really good π

I ain't making one mate, I would be scared to look π€£ will look at purchasing one tomorrow.

Jupiter last night, last for a while

My life is complete π«‘ -
Things are getting tuff with Jupiter and Mars now. Mars is moving far away and Jupiter not at its best . Managed to get two images I'm very happy with on the phone but will change to eyepiece only for abit now and concentrate phone snaps on the Pleiades and individual stars π@Mandy D look no blue! π

Thought I would order a print of a Mars capture on mobile phone , just for curiosity. Wasn't expecting great things but all in all , not to bad
-
Great images! I would definitely get some prints done and framed π I have Mars in my living room but having your own images will be sweet

π I sent the VX6l flying over and it went through the TV screen in the living room. TV dead , scope all good -

Honestly as @Mandy D said , i also have only collimated my 200p once and the difference you should normally get is so small you aren't going to notice unless the scope has being dropped etc. Lots of tool's about for collimation but don't let it put you off as a simple star test is more than enough . -
Wish I had stayed out but the warmth called me! Did you use the dob for the moon?
-
Thanks mate, I really need to spend more time on the moon this year, so many features I need to tick off!
-
This is the sharpest I have ever done , I'm not great with a full capture but close ups seem to work. Love your full moons !

Amazing image! Very sharp mate π

Can't wait to see that! Cool, I will try and keep the WB at that and wait for better seeing!
