Hiya Luke,

2.5mm = 200 x in the Equinox so its on the Limit (240 is the max according to the literature) It is purely for Lunar use.

The 3mm setting on the zoom was easily achieved so I do not think an extra 0.5mm will overcook it.

I only sold the Nagler zoom because I have dedicated eyepieces to cover the same range and it seems pointless having more than one to me (tight wad attitde)

I will let you know how it performs

Thanks, Shaun, I look forward to your account :) I think the 2.5mm would give me 240x with my 85mm scope and I think it would be okay on the Moon, things were looking tidy enough at about 190x. The main problem I have is Sarah is not keen on higher power viewing, so it's a bit harder to justify splashing out! But I definitely would like something with more power than the 5mm...

Luke the 4mm SLV is also excellent on both the Sun & the Moon :-) However, head positioning is about the same as a high powered Delos

An Equinox 80ed Pro

Awesome,I hear they are great.Did you sell the Pronto?

I have the SW ED80...great optics...pity that it is going to cloud over..;-)

very nice!

I saw the Lyra one this morning, its also on ABS

It's about £50 cheaper from TS...699 euros is about £655..

£50 is £50 when all is said and done,that's almost a star diagonal for free :-)

I might even play them against each other

reshuffling your EPs?

Hiya Yong, Just having a change in direction :-)

Oh fab! Well here's hoping for ya :)

:-) thanks

Uho....watched Sunshine last night, hope your new scope doesn't turn you into a "space smeagol" like captain Pinbacker of Icarus 1!!

LoL Should be here Saturday :-)

Thanks for the good weather by the way :D.

I did think of that funny enough, it is pouring down here :(

Not a wedgie :-)

tidy shaun, weres the pics

Hiya Mike, I will add some after the football. :-)

here's hoping ;)

Ay, what fun you're going to have with that mate. I just love using Lunt's Wedge and observing the Sun each morning, doing a little sketch, or what have you. I finally managed to find myself a cheap Continuum filter this week and what a difference this makes after using an 81A & 11 for so long to get that green light affect. Variable polariser is also a good move if you haven't got one :-) We should write up reports on our wedges :-)

I have a polariser coming with it :-) A write up will be a good idea, I wish I could draw as good as you but my skills are limited to matchstick men and I don't think that works with the sun :)

Yes.. I am surprised steam can dry them :-)

Or maybe your tears got vaporized..

I am way to tough for tears :-)

All together an Pronto attached

Have a play let us know :)

just taking some pics

Very poo service from a supplier called Opticstar in Manchester

I bought two mounts from OpticStar...always next day delivery. What happened?

I have done a supplier review - I cant explain what happened Imad or should I say what didn't happen

LoL Its just a quick grab and go, the lighter the better for me :-)

Shoooooot! :D good stuff.. we need a review.

Im quite looking forward to using it all :-)

Thank you Alan,

I was on Astro buy and sell when it popped up :-)

Imad, that's not a bad idea, it will suit the Lunt when I get one.

I am thinking of the AZ4 also

I can sell you my ES..

They were out of stock and I believe they come from the US of A.

Sounds like an additional 2 weeks from what I can gather !!!

Well, the weather doesn't seem promising for at least a decade to come...so no need to rush :D

It might be clear in the early hours tomorrow morning so I might wait up

whoohoo!!

I think I just spotted a star on the way home !! I might get to try it out tonight :-)

Thank you young Jonathan

Is it the last one ? :)

LoL only if you want one young Imad :-)

It was as it goes, well only one showing in stock but that's probably a sales technique to make the buyer think it is :-)

Achieving focus might be an issue for some scopes, SCT's will be fine I guess as they have light years of travel.

My Dob comes with a focuser extension just for cases like that...so far don't have any issues...

That's good news then :-) Preparation is everything young Imad

Lol I know. I'm planning ahead.

Infact Imad Is a TV newbe until Monday / Tuesday next week :-)

LOL - indeed. I'm on expert on Hyperions if you get stuck though :D

That's brilliant. You'll absolutely love it mate. It's almost welded to my 102ED. Surely the best RDF that exists...

That's great news, they seem to have very good reviews

wow that's what I call a fast delivery.

And the fun begins :)

Has to be one of my favourite EPs. Hope you enjoy it :-)

Thank you guys - I will be able to have an input with comparisons now :)

I have always loved looking at the sun :-)

First rule in astronomy..dont look directly at the sun thtough your telescope. L OL..

I will try to remember,:-) Its turned up alredy.

How fast was that.
