Well done Dom I wasn't quite brave enough to post mine amongst such big brothers!

I wonder if leegsi is aware of the legacy he has left behind? 2150 posts and still going.

Should rename the topic title to "Leegsi Legacy "

Holy Webster! Quaoar! That's a Beast!

All you fellas with ya big guns!!!

Someone should start a topic for the little dobs of the family, poor 8"ers feeling left out!

Wow!! Nice cases john, although I don't see any eyepieces, all I see is:-

Case 1: Remortgage

Case 2: Bankruptcy

Case 3: Divorce!

A typical starters case, small with basic instruments, but with the addition of my 82° Explore Scientific and maxvision it's developing in the right direction. DSC_0303.JPG

Ok, time for an image update, gone are the unused colour filters, replaced by the one and only Lumicon UHC, also ditched the 25mm standard (straw ep) to make room for the new addition Explore Scientific 6.7mm 82° series. So far, since the delivery of the new equipment it's been nothing but cloud cloud cloud!

Probably going to have to upgrade to a larger case in about 12 months if it carries on.

I got mine at Maplins. A deal was on their small cases, I missed their large cases deal last year but with my limited collection I figured the small one was adequate enough, was expecting the cut out foam but when I saw pluck foam I was well pleased!

Joined the team only about a week ago and I find myself checking in a few times everyday now

The wealth of knowledge, experience and honest opinions that can be gained here is extraordinary!

I originally came across this site while searching for eyepiece reviews on Google, it seemed that no matter what I typed into the search box relating to astronomy I would always find a link straight to here!!

It's still early days yet, I have much more to learn and equipment to upgrade and I'm sure that as long as the dark heavens keeps me looking up i will always find what I want right here at SGL!!

Thanks guys!!

Anthony :-D

It's good to find a positive review for an eyepiece your interested in and used in the same scope!!

Thanks for that write up, it may have given me the push I needed
