A 14mm Delos incoming, thanks to the lounge :) Managed to sell two BSTs in the space of 30 minutes and the Delos obtained a few days later. People don't hang about here do they ? :)

Never tried a TV plossl as yet, not doubt lovely the only thing you'd be missing I suspect is the extra FOV. The 6mm Radian is super isn't it, got one too :) TBH honest had a generous offer of a 14mm Radian for rather a lot less and was strongly tempted, but since it is my birthday this month felt a bit of extra extravagance was in order with the Delos, I always wanted one anyway. Since both my 10mm Pentax and the delos are in the of 2 - 3 mm exit pupil sweet spot I like to use a lot...

Maths GCSE on Monday, which would be stressful enough, but on top of this I'm taking it a year early and I'm expected to get an A* :(

Viewed Cassini at last. :)

I'm impressed - the last astro thing I bought was 6 weeks ago!

Very disciplined of you :D
So far the once a month eyepiece is working for me. surprised I've not yet broken that rule. I almost did, thought about a barlow last month but didn't in the end, how boring of me. Still to come delos 14mm, OIII, H beta, paracorr, set complete for the time being after that ... for a bit anyway I feel.

That's impressive Mike. I had to look up the car to check, do you fold the seat for that ? can you still carry a passenger, suitcases tents and extra stuff ? I was more thinking along the lines ( far in future ) when I do get a big Dob, which I would use a lot less it would be a truss design, 16 inch or so, and the 10 inch or a new 12 inch at some point as the most often used weapon at home, & some shorter local trips. Current car is a 90s Ford KA, tiny thing :) Couple of years I...

Dan, I haven't but I can imagine it would be fabulous :D That said, for me it is not practical, transport and all that, the 10 inch ticks all the boxes, planetary, deep sky etc and enough grab an go and good allrounder an goes in the car with room to spare. If I did upgrade it would perhaps be a 12 inch since that is just about still manageable for the same role. No doubt I will have a big Dob at some stage in the future, but I will not be without something in the 10 - 12 inch range e...

The more I use my 10 inch the more I realise its potential. Still getting loads of joy out of the 5 inch mini Dob. I can appreciate the galaxy detail you could see in a swamp 20 inch, it takes no rocket science to know that :D but a 10 inch can get an awful lot of observing done. I have no desire to get more aperture yet :)
