That long?

Reason enough to purchase another one Stu.

Postie has been a delivered a duplicate of an old friend and idea. In 2021 I used a plastic toolbox as my astro case, it worked well but got outgrown and I needed a new box for my tools, all was placed in multiple bags, cases etc. and I often forget items. So a replacement accessory box and how I used it before, watch this space... I intend to do much the same but perhaps not for Eyepieced.

With all these replies and my look through and at a t4, no surprise I am in the state of Paralysis from Analysis! Hmmmmmm.

Thanks for sharing Nigella and super images from you as always. Most thankful as while clear today, I was sat in the office and not at home😟

Yes, fully down, even checked by the owner to make sure.

Well I found a member of my Astro club that owns a n22 t4 and had a look at it. Then through it and with my glasses on, I cannot see the whole field stop without moving my lenses about. With a good ponder, I think I was loosing about 5 degrees of view working on 82 being the whole, perhaps ev3n a touch more. Ho hum, time to ponder again.

Sad to see this deconstruction, you take care and be safe in doing this Rusted

Thanks Mark, do you use glasses with this one?

@FLO Steve, the listing shows a 10.5mm but no details in the specification list for that one is shown. They look very interesting indeed.

XW with glasses are OK for me, but I have avoided the 20mm and 14mm for the reasons above. Must say the Morpheus 12.5 works great, but does not go to 20-22mm area, sadly. I am only even looking at this for exit pupil, due to light pollution, otherwise the APM UFF 30mm would be it alone.

Super progress Michael, looks really tidy too, love the cladding used. Probably the smartest observatory in Worcestershire or wider area (no insult intended to others) I look forward to seeing the Final Roof as the design you showed intrigues me.

Thanks guys for the responses so far and very interesting. I do note that both Don and Louis have got Nagler 22 t4 in the main cases, interesting. It does irk me that an EP that states eyeglasses friendly is only so if you make DIY changes, that's just not right to me.

My @mikeDnight, what a big un. That will no doubt give an advantage at lower magnitude.

Postie has been with my classifieds purchases, some for curiosity, some as spares and the filter for my 10"

Super images and thank you for sharing with those of us who were not able to travel over.

Watching Betelgeuse go Supernova, now that's a challenge to our patience as well as cloud cover. I love the thread @John, great idea in posting.

You must be flushed with success 😉 I will walk myself out with my coat and remaining dignity 🚶‍♀️

Looks nice. Out of curiosity, how do you focus this lens as it looks Electronic and the Filter Unit and Camera are not connected electrically?

Welcome back Jeremy, looks like a super location and that you were successful in your mission. All this talk of BBQ is making me hungry.

I am Astigmatic and need to wear glasses at the scope, no choice in this sadly. This calls for long eye relief up to about 10mm, so larger exit pupils mean a choice limited eyepiece selection. I love my APM UFF 30mm, but wish for a step down in exit pupil. The choices I am pondering are: SL 20mm 2" 80 UWA or Nagler 22 t4 I know the t4 will work well with glasses, but will the SL20? The description on the web says yes, but many posts on the same EP differing branding say not. Your thoughts please. Clearly I prefer the price tag of the SL, but... And its for mainly the 10" OOUK Dob and the 6" OOUK Newt use.

I expect your issue was that last night the Jet Stream would have been playing havoc with the seeing. To check the jet stream try using the following site: https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather You need to click on Outdoor Sports and select Astronomy to get to this data. Hope that helps.

That's a nice job, good on you. 👍 I need to build a base like this for my 6" Newtonians and as a challenge, for me it will be a challenge as Wood Butchery is my level.

I think this line hits it square on for me. I am visual only, tried a few images and went NOT FOR ME ta very much.

And one final update from me. The seat was working fine, then I hurt my back again, but I have slipped disc things going on, the seat was pressing on my damaged spot too much, so I have sold No2 seat as I could not sit on it without pain. That's not the seat, that's my back. I have gone back for now to a padded stool.
