    m31 can be very good sometimes. if everything is spot on you can see dust lanes rather than a mass of light. but as you say, generally not exciting

    very good eps for that budget and could transfer to other ota is skywatcher nirvana or ovl. same eps the ortho you mentioned are brilliant but very small eye relief and very narrow field of view https://www.firstlightoptics.com/ovl-eyepieces/ovl-nirvana-es-uwa-82-ultrawide-eyepieces.html

    nice report mercian. you had a few problems but you got through it. the dew heater will eventually clear your glass but best putting it on before dew sets. prevention is better than cure

  21. faulksy
    @John you can make your own like i did for around 9k sell some of your finders, sorry i mean apo,s and you will be laughing 🤣 seriously, if you can transport a big dob or have a dark garden it is worth it
  22. faulksy
