Extensive chatter as always on CN, but only one person who has imported one to the US. It has a bigger eyelens and about 15mm eyerelief from the owner and Don Pensanks comments. Looks to be ES revising the 82 range.

15mm inter pupils distance, is that eyerelief to the rest of us?

Noticed that Explore Scientific have brought out a few 82 Degree Long Eye Relief EP. They are very close FL to the existing ones and well priced, interesting huh. Not listed at FLO yet but popping up on other internet sites.

Glad you got first light and a set up and test run with that nice 100mm scope. As a non imager, you lost me after balancing the scope unfortunately - that is my failing of course. I wish you and the scope a long and happy imaging career together.

New halls and separate lecture hall, looks to have grown rather than shrunk.

@Rainmaker that looks very nice indeed. What are the L-O-A 21? not seen these before??

Indeed, but he can have too few.

If Astro ever looses its charm, Medieval themed banquets can be held, fed by the brewerey next door, sorted ?

At least I have not had to trade in an arm or a leg yet Jeremy! In all honesty another blood test as unwell over and since Christmas, it was not to buy an EP.

Post person knocked this morning while I was out having blood taken this morning, most fortunate that my Father In Law was about to sign for it. Something I have been wanting for quite sometime and looking for since early December ? Happy astronomer me ? patience pays off, I must remember this is the case.

But the clouds were left behind in Exeter!

It looks huge, because it is huge Kev. James has covered half of Somerset with it! ?

According to the IAS Facebook page and an answer to that very question. Yes IAS 2019 is happening, they are finalising contracts and will release a date very soon.

Blimey, that Post Person was busy! Nice EP's.

That looks nice to me Agnes, hope you can find one.

New day, new eyes and yes, it's Blue. My screen is spot on and calibrated for photography, so I know it's my eyes.

That is worrying Dave as it looks Green to me........... It must be the remnants of my Christmas viral infection still having effects

Nice to see the house is painted in Tak green to match the scope Dave ? Funny how we change our viewing taste or style and eyepieces to suit, problem is the kit is so much more accessible than times past. I do appreciate your change is perhaps more to do with your ongoing eye challenges of course and wish you well with this situation.

But I still think I would have put the rails on top and had the wheels pointing "upwards." Quote from Rusted Indeed, always nice to see an alternate view and option. Wonder why this has not become the norm, it has crossed my mind reading everyone's build threads.

Just for a minute there I was expecting you to say Yoga was the new you Jeremy!

Fully understand that reasoning and agree. Some nights not finding takes over from finding and observing and then the fun evaporates. I think you should fit the SW Goto kit for the EQ5 to your mount, it will be a sensible move forward, you don’t remove any of the main mechanical parts so should not change the mounts good behaviour. I am tempted to get a GP or similar and do the EQ5 Goto kit fit myself, but ......

Indeed,if only ........

I can see why it's such a fine quality mount now.
