Didn't  think this Solar business was going to be so expensive oh well it's worth it here is the new Canon for use with the 

quark and wide field as the Bresser is great but can't use it with the quark so sadly it has to go and make room for this .

My new Solar set up 

Best be careful Piero that handgrenade looks ready to explode on the back of that 85 

A new Refractor to the Colection first light today and must say a def upgrade to the PST I used to own 

also last night First light on the Altair Jupiter was a lovely sight best view since I had the Vixen Atlux

no false colour used the 7mm luminos and lovely surface detail moons were disk shaped .

I did read quite a few stories about field brightness can't really say I've noticed any they give nice views very sharp  and pretty much to the edge around 85% I even tried them on my now sold solar pst and the view was stunning I'm looking forward to first light with my new 130'APO I think they are now a great affordable upgrade from the Maxivision I've been using the only point is they are a bit on the heavy side that 31mm is a monster are there better yeah if your prepaired to pay  £100s more do you see £100 s more I don't think so my friend has a collection of nice Delos and naglers and in our skies my and his eyes sometimes not that far apart certainly not £100s apart . And build quality is excellent although on the heavy side 

Thanks John I'm very pleased with it just need those clouds to go

Hi Derek yes I think you do works well between the C11 and now this 

Not Exactly case more bag but it's nice portable 

Went to Kelling on Sunday to look for a new mount went by the Altair Astro stall and got so tempted by this beauty so mount will have to wait a few months .

Had a few Dobs over the years this is my Latest seems about the right size for what I want it came with all the bags also which was a bonus so packs away nice for transport .

Yeah Chris I was surprised it was not snapped up right away I've been looking for a while for a short tube nearly pulled the trigger on an old blue tube SW glad I didn't now and this was cheaper can't wait to try It out will post up report when I do didn't realise what a canon it is .

Yeah that's what I want it for got the triplet for the planets etc

Thanks to a SGL member emadmussa I now have this fantastic Bazooka

Really nice guy done a fair bit of solar and other photography so showed me some images

And was really open and honest and yeah a really good bargain now all I need is a zoom eyepice

And a 34 mm 2 inch or above and I'm set lol

Hi Chris it's got the blue optics and is only 2 years old double checked before purchase as I'd read about the rusty optics

Another frac to the collection

Just added this little beauty to the collection .

Like that's been said before Refractors feel and look like real telescopes should

Just upgraded my OTA from the Meade 5000 102 to this

Big Sumorian it's a Meade 5000 102 ED triplet.
