    alternatively Michael get a 21mm Ethos or 20mm ES in 100deg and you will not need 24 or 26mm Nagler,but thats a dangerous route of 100deg and its either love or hate them. i personally like the 20mm and lower,but getting rid of high mag 100 degs to be replaced with orthos and erlfes.So new box again for me looool.

    Very nice looking collection Faulksy and grats on almost completing a set of BGO`s. Just 7mm left to get.

    nicely written and spot on explanations to every beginning astro fan what to expect and what can be achievable.
  4. Dude_with_the_tube
    your triplet with short focus travel is meant to be for astro photography where you do not require long focus travels and only one camera sits there pritty much permanently attached.For visual use focuser travel on refractors is normally much longer and rarely will require any extension tubes.You have 2 options there if you like your triplet: 1.Continue using it with a bunch of ext.tubes 2.Change focuser to one with longer travel what is meant for visual use.

      true,but the only thing missing for me is either 6mm ethos or 5,5mm ES in 100 degs for high power. As such for time being i am saying:Done.

      Cool.

      I need to get a moonlite for mine. The standard one is rubbish. Let me know what model you get and how it works.

      Also be very keen to understand if you can get it to focus with the stock focuser and eyepieces as I never could. Good job I had a range of extensions to get it to work.

    3. Dude_with_the_tube

      Dude_with_the_tube

      i am not even planning to entertain the stock focuser.it is coming off as soon as the boxes turn up.

    4. Stargazer_00

      Stargazer_00

      OK. Let me know how it goes :)
