  1. Beautiful, Just makes you want to reach out and hold it in your hand.
  2. I am listening to you guys.Yes I would definitely prefer second hand.I have emailed ads on astrobands, finding it hard to get replies when I make an offer.Perhaps everyone is firm on their price as these are not coming up very often? zoom has sold
  3. Yes I am really keen and my next trip out with my astronomer pals is in 2 or 3 weeks.In the meantime I have it out the doors of my conservatory as much as clear sky's allow. I will be able to use some of their eyepieces which will give me a good indication of my scopes potential. I can possibly stretch to 3 new Delos eyepieces,thinking of starting with 6,10 and maybe 14 or 17.3mm .I have a ts 30mm wide angle with the scope for now. It's always nice to have and look after from new,but second hand would allow perhaps one more. I will keep looking at the ads over the next few weeks. cheers
  4. You are all so helpful and full of great tips thank you
  5. Hi Magnus, I will read up on the Delites. I live in Leigh on sea in Essex. Because I am new to the hobby,I have been over to a place close by,Great Wakering with a couple of experienced astronomers who have taken me under their wings. It has fairly low light pollution out there,surrounded by a high bank. They might as well be talking in quantum physics for all I know,but trying to pick up the basics.But we have to all start somewhere,I believe if you don't know ask. One of the guys has a similar 16inch dobsonian so his choice on eyepieces is helping me. I am hoping to take mine over there next time which will be a relief to my wife. She could not believe it when it was assembled in the conservatory,and thought I was bringing home one the size of Captain Birdseye! cheers Paul
  6. Thank you for that,really helpful. I understand the settings required.
  7. Thanks Steve, Yes the advice and help from everyone has been marvellous and I am taking onboard everything. Two local astronomers have taken me under their wings and I have had one of several, I hope ,viewing nights with them already. I have definitely decided I am going to use Televue Delos’s I have put wanted adds out on here and astrobuyandsell hoping for replies and if I can’t find two or three good second hand ones I guess I will have to buy new as and when I can afford it. I am going to try them without a coma corrector.If it becomes a problem on viewing the edges(I doubt I will notice,I am such a novice)a member on here has a good paracorr for sale. So any Delos guys out there?Want to donate a 6,10 and 14/17.3 I am waiting😊A nice 27-35 panoptic would be nice at a later date as I have a couple of eyepieces to get me started which came with the new scope. regards Paul
  8. Thank you John understood, As long as that problem can be overcome at the 14-17 mm range
  9. So I would need a ‘in travel’ televue adapter to focus the 17.3 and 14 mm? Would that be only when using the paracorr or even without?
  10. Hi, Can the complete range of Delos eyepieces work correctly with the last available tuneable parcorr 1 ? thanks
  11. Great Steve, APM could be on to something then. Look forward to some more observations. cheers Paul
  12. Thanks guys,look forward to your results Steve
  13. Are there any recent updates/tests on how these eyepieces fair with 16 inch F4.5 dobsonians? They appear to be good value if they work well thanks
