  2. 10, 15, 18 & 24 UFF. would love to see a 13 & 21 added... My OCD needs balance..
  3. I have a Celestron 102mm f6.5 achro & Bresser 127L which I really like, my 6” f/8 Newtonian (sold) was better than both for colour, better than the 102 for sharpness on planets but not as sharp as the 127L, Neither are as good as my 12” Revelation dob with Hilux coatings. I’ll get around to mounting the 102 on my dob at some point as it has encoders + Nexus and can easily take the weight, should be easy to dig out bigger OIII targets.
  4. Baader Hyperion 13mm and Morpheus 12.5mm my wife who has little to no interest in anything apart from Saturn says she can tell the difference. She describes the stars in the Morh 'yes very nice love' and could tell the difference in 3 seconds while carrying a bottle of wine from garage to house, a justified upgrade. 😊
  5. BST Star guiders are a good start https://www.firstlightoptics.com/bst-starguider-eyepieces.html You will not get whole a lot more for your money..
  6. Found this on eBay, Cadac Grillo Chef 40 BBQ Cover £13.99 delivered.. 🙂
  7. Hows the vibration during focusing? Would the AZ-GTiX be ok with something like my Vixen 90M be ok for visual? Thinking about buying one for visual
  8. Agreed, 12 inch solid tube dobs rule! 😁 Needle galaxy in my 12 inch dob is spectacular so is M51, my 127mm f9.4 is now a solar scope...
  9. Anyone looking I bought some cheap on Aliexpress and only 1 out of 4 worked, they were over plaited ! I prefer shoulderless myself.
  10. 12 Inch dob shows faint bluish grey, my vixen 90M shows sightly faint pale washed out blue with occasional loss of the blue probably seeing, ive not had perfect obs conditions all year. 😥
  11. Aye up! from Preston..
