      Congrats, Michael. What scope's it going on?

    2. michael.h.f.wilkinson

      michael.h.f.wilkinson

      the APM 80mm F/6, yielding a nifty 384mm focal length at F/4.8

  5. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Not enough eye relief. I have had a few EPs with 15mm eye relief (like the current Lunt zoom) and I find it too tight, on the whole
  6. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    I think the 26mm would be great if/when I get a faster big scope, like a dob. The 31T5 would then probably not work that well except under very dark conditions
  7. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Great collection Faulksy. I also like to see the 26T5 nestled between the 31T5 and the 22T4. Gives me an excuse to get the 26T5 as well (as if I need an excuse) at some point in the future.

      Revamp of 17Ah powertank

  12. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Awesome! Stunning effort and brilliant result
  13. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    I have also started storing my EPs in a similar fashion, and never yet grabbed the wrong one (I was worried about that)
  14. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    Not all series of EPs are parfocal. The Televues have a few series that line up quite well (like the Radians), but there are quite large differences between the series, and I need to refocus a lot. Having said that, my APM 80mm F/6 handles all the ones I have well.

    Lunt 7.2-22.5mm zoom has arrived

  17. michael.h.f.wilkinson
    I am never going to let go of the 31T5 Panzerfaust. The LVW 42 might go, but not the 31T5!! Awesome EP both in my C8 and in the 80mm F/6
  18. michael.h.f.wilkinson

    Looks clear here. Scope cooling, Fingers crossed

    That Meade 30 makes the Hyperion 31 redundant. That frees up a little space

    That affliction can strike even people with an F/10 SCT
