Planetary Nebulae: a little guide
michael.h.f.wilkinson replied to Qualia's topic in Observing - Deep Sky
Great post, with great information and useful links. Maybe this one http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/plannebs.html Could be added (100 brightest planetaries) -
At ease private Fraser!

I realise I made a typing error. It should have read: CERTAINLY!!

CERTAINLY!!

True, but some have a lesser decibel range Anyway, I think that should read "We should all do BB impressions"

They are awesome, aren't they? I remember we had a long PM exchange about them. Glad you still like them -

Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

I bought one of the 20mm "Celestron" (no brand on the barrel or box at all) Plossls for 15 euro (new) for the kids mini-Dob, and I must say, it is pretty good (even at F/4.3), and excellent for the money. -
Vixen SLV Eyepiece Report: 6mm, 12mm and 20mm
michael.h.f.wilkinson replied to John's topic in Member Equipment Reviews
The eyecup of the old LVs was really the only think I could find to fault them (I had the LV7 and LV9 for years). The SLV series seems very nice indeed. -

Just added a WO dielectric diagonal to the case. I soldone when I got my Dennkmeier filter-switch diagonal but that will not come to focus with the 80mm F/6. The 2" Amici prism does reach focus, but I do not always like to use that. Still plenty of space. Note that the case does not contain my MV24mm or WO zoom, as I keep them in the solar case I take to work frequently -

When looking for a decent wide field, check out the MaxVision 24mm 68 deg. It punches WAY above its price tag.
