The printed version from Amazon arrived today

How did this work out Rob?

And also Amazon says usually available in 3 to 7 months, feels like ordering a car.

Mike see the first post and you will see why it’s been written this way, might make you feel a bit of an ass…. I did say ass 😉

If you look at the second image in my post, you will discover my use.... I used it to remount a good filter than had odd threads in my case.

Looking more complete each time I drop by on the thread Michael. This will be a major upgrade on your first one of course.

I am the same so far, highly pleased with my initial handle and look through session.

My Astigmatism is 1.5 if memory serves me again = or - I have no idea. No modification, just with the eyecup fully down so far. Sadly weather has stopped the chance for mor testing.

I like it because it is story related, Its Folklore and that is something handed down by word or story. If it was scientific, then it would not be Folklore.

Postie Pete has been and delivered. a little filter based haul 🙂 First up a pair of Baader 2" Empty Filter frames, oddly cheaper delivered from Telescopes Canada than a UK supplier or Baader themselves. Allowed me to remount the Orion Ultrablock that I was very kindly given, but sadly I could not screw onto my then only 2" EP. And finally a Japan Made 80A filter, Bargain off eBay 👍

@Bivanus Thank you again for the link, I got it on Kindle to see how it went, have now ordered the paperback version.

Once mastered the eyepieces are very enjoyable to use, the feel wider than they are tagged.

I note your issue with the Morpheus 9, could I safely presume that you do not wear glasses? I use and adore the 12.5 Morpheus, nut wear glasses, the eye cup is used fully down and no spacer for glasses use. But if no glasses it needs the spacer and the eyecup to stop the eye being beyond the focus spot produced. (I probably have the terminology wrong above, others may correct me on this) but this is the difference between being a pain to use and being a dream in use.

I am overcome with awe at your nerdyness @Nigella Bryant.

OK, not that Nerdy in my case, well according to a single fun quiz anyhow. I will now go and Obsess on my own and not interact with others to grow my Nerdyness 😉 I would add that it being American biased that many of the terms are meaningless to me.
