Vixen SLV 2.5mm incoming

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...

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 :-)
