  1. When I saw this picture, Just for a split second, I imagined your Dob in orbit, over clouds, and the Earths horizon on the right. Then I woke up.........
  2. The etalon I have for sale is the LS50F, surprised I've had no interest at the price I ask. My wife made me a black opaque draw string cloth tube, which omits all extraneous light, yes it makes a massive difference. The ioptron was the mini tower 11, which I have now sold. I would not recommend it, as the clutch was prone to slipping, perhaps newer ones are better.
  3. My 60mm Lunt with Bino viewers, the second Etalon is only attached for the picture. The view through Bino viewers is too dark with the second etalon added. That is why I have the second etalon up for sale. I find that Bino viewing gives far more detail than Mono viewing, I would never go back to single eyepieces for Solar viewing. The Denkmeir 21mm eyepieces, give me the best views so far, of any pairs I have tried.
  4. Hi there,

    I have a problem viewing the suggestions, bugs, errors and foibles.

    I can only see one topic, and that is the one I created on 30th Aug 2015, nothing else is visible.

    using the sort by button does nothing but show the one topic.

    Any idea what is wrong?

               Thanks

      Hmmmm I saw the thousand odd topics and assumed all the problems would be open to view.

      OK thanks for the prompt reply.

  5. Stop your scope drinking that Diet rubbish. This is what it should be like...............
  6. Yes it's the Tak collimation scope. Gave me quite a fright, last time I fitted it to the 3" starlight focuser in my refractor. The brass compression ring, unbeknown to me, was a perfect fit into the recess of the 2" adapter........ When I came to remove it, I spent at least 10 to 15 minutes jiggling/pulling it, and I was starting to sweat over what the outcome would be. Luckily it came free, and I have not fitted it since. The recess is machined dead square, so I need to get a slope machined into it, to allow the compression ring to ride up and over.
  7. The Docter eyepieces are 12.5mm, and are the best Bino viewing eyepieces that I have ever tried. Superb contrasting views, great eye relief, and easy to look around the field of view. They only came a few days ago, and I'm waiting for the right sky to try them out...........
  8. Latest sets of eyepieces, optimised now for Bino viewing. Purchased the 24mm Panoptics at the IAS today.
  9. Yes, hold my hands up, real they are......
  10. Can't quite get my head around this picture, Photoshop comes to mind. The counterbalance looks all wrong, any sideways movement at all and over it goes. Why would anyone assemble such a rig, with so much inherent danger. Does anyone know what scopes they are??
  11. This should give palpitations, to those who think that a double stacked Solar scope is no good for visual. Well here it is, with Bino viewers also reducing light throughput.....
  12. My TMB 152, now with 3" Starlight focuser.
  13. Recently sent a Lunt LS50F Ha second Etalon, for repair to Bresser Germany. They replaced a faulty tuner mechanism, and returned it to me. They did this free of charge. Considering I was not the original purchaser, I felt this was Wonderful after sales service. A big thumbs up to this company.
  14. Any chance of a report on your Binoviewers, I am looking to get the same pair.
  15. This is my final collection, my wife's words........
  16. My wife says, if I ever buy another eyepiece, she is going to bang my head against the Keyboar9uydg$%()(jjoierufhpwuioeheuiywyyy%$$%^&**Ij,kljdfvoievjowerijfniorejfjwio77%$£$£EEDFGJI988weufiwehfpiowufiopjfpwioeu9eui^&ED%^&$RSD^&I^*(*9h98wer34uiniuh87^&%F^YUuy
  17. Space for a 10 mm Ethos methinks...............
