    This is where my interest really is. These are all taken with an Explorer 150P or 250PX. Older images were taken on a driven EQ3-2 with an unmodded 1000D, newer ones on an NEQ6 Pro Synscan with an SXV-H9 and Baader LRGB+Ha filter set in a manual wheel.

  5. I have a Fullerscopes 40mm ortho. It is very nice as a finder in my son's Mak and for afocal Luna photography. Edit: I got that wrong. Mine is a Kellner. Still very nice though.
  6. I'll just repost this here to show how nice and neat I am There is nothing new inside from 10 pages ago other than a 2" Astronomik O-III but you can just imagine that under the UHC
  7. That's great Any chance of adding the same (7 options + exit pupil on image) for the Telescope visual FOV?
  8. Thanks for a great web resource guys. Having the DSS images is a really nice feature, thanks Are the eyepiece simulations from focal length & aFOV or from fieldstop diameters? Does it really matter?
  9. I ordered a couple of small items at 2pm on Thursday. Goods were delivered 10:30am on Friday. Well packaged and correct. Good service and quick delivery. I would definitely buy from 365Astronomy again

    Sketches

    These are pencil on cartridge paper, then scanned and inverted once my fingers warm back up. For some of them, I have gone over the stars using the brush tool in Photoshop.
  14. You can get 2" twist lock self centring adaptor that adds about 35mm extension and replaces the normal 2" thumbscrew extension. You still have the two thumbscrews on the focuser, but you only have to do them up once when you install the adaptor. I can't find a link at the moment though.
  15. I have been hoping that people would start posting great images from the 130PDS since it was released. I think the slow uptake was that it was perceived to be 'too cheap to take seriously'. I think it is cracking telescope. If it had been available when I started, I would have had one for sure. As it is, I have the 150P and it's just the same but with a tiny bit more focal length. They are close enough that I don't intend to swap to the 130PDS but if something happened to my 150P I would get a 130PDS as a replacement. Here is a couple from the 150P with an SXV-H9 and Baader filters on an NEQ6 with a QHY5 finderguider.
