I had an Equinox 120 but soon sold it on. Was just disapointing but was probably a poor example. Some of the earlier ones were a bit variable in optical quality.

You should pay attention to some of the very experienced observers on this forum who from real world experience of using these mounts have found the HEQ5 to be far superior to the AVX in every way. No contest. The AVX is a lighter duty mount and simpy not capable of handling the same load as the HEQ5 PRO.

Just came in. Bit of a waste of time really. Although mostly clear seeing was attrocious. Looking at Venus was like looking through running water. 🙁

A barlow changes the focal length of the eyepiece so a 10mm eyepiece is effectively the same as a 20mm eyepiece with a 2x barlow. It is mutiplying the magnification of the eyepiece. You could also think of it as dividing the focal length.

This scope is rapidly turning into one of my all time favourite scopes. There is just something about it. It’s one of those scopes that just feels “right”.🙂🙂

Wonder what the Omegon 66ED scope is like? Notice they have just upgraded the focuser.

Found it now. The ad title doesn’t say Nagler which is why my search came up negative.
£280.00 is a bit high though. Wouldn’t want to pay more than £250.00 myself.

Just took a look but couldn’t find any used Nagler zooms in the UK on Gumtree.
There was an expired ad for one at £280.00 but that ad was posted about two years ago.

Did you like the bit at the end of ep3 where Picard got to say ENGAGE ?

I beleive JeremyS has one or had one and thought it was OK for the price but the imcluded table top tripod was rubbish. The version with a dob mount would be more usable but not so usefull as a tiny travel scope.

I bought my 405 head new for £295.00 a few years ago but prices have certainly shot up. 🙀
Got the QR adapter from Amazon.

Yes the 2.5mm is simply too much. When I had a Skymax 127 found 7mm to be of more use as my high mag eyepiece and occasionaly a 5mm for the moon.

Had SkySafari but after trying Luminos deleted SkySafari. Luminos is much nicer to use and is a lot slicker and better looking.
Fouund this on CN.
“Fortunately, I just learned that Luminos (another planetarium app) has added SynScan compatibility. I tested it out last night, and it works great. You simply log into SynScan on your iOS device, open SynScan, and do an alignment. Once you're aligned in SynScan, you simply open Luminos and connect. In Luminos, go to "Observe", "Remote Control", "Configure", Protocol "Sky-Watcher SynScan App". Then, after your SynScan alignment, in Luminos go to "Observe", and toggle the "Connection" button. It works like a charm, and only uses a single iOS device“

The ES 3mm worked well on the moon last night even though it as a bit hazy. Here’s a smartphone image taken using the 3mm and the StellaMira 80mm f10.. Would be a lot better without the haze. 🙂
Maybe the Nagler Zoom next month. 🤔
