Voyager 3

I mean, you are doing it right then!

So is Texas trying to say us something?

I guess it's not even safe to inform you about ES price hikes then. Just look at that 20mm ES 100 and the 40mm ES68........

Let me guess, 3.7mm,4.7mm,6mm,8mm Ethos 11mm Apollo 11 22mm Nagler 30mm UFF 4.5mm,6.5mm,9mm,12.5mm,14mm,17.5mm Morpheus What's the missing one? 24mm UFF?

OMG

So did you get either of these eyepieces?

How about the 28mm UWA? >40mm field stop, much lighter than 31mm Nagler, very good to excellent sharpness and most importantly around 250$ from TS.

Great job Louis. This is exactly how I want my reviews to be written.

Hmm.. then they must be smacking elephant seals with the ES92 eyepieces.

Have you tried the Leica zoom? Every eyepiece is a compromise, one way or the other.

Good one 🤣

I too agree that recognisability doesn't just depend on the no of bright stars. If I show the stars of Orion to a person jogging in the street, he might come close to saying a man holding something in the hand. One really can't think of any other thing. Crux is literally a cross. Now that's what I'd call recongisable. But the man who created the constellations Vulpecula and Canis Minor must have had god-like imagination for sure.

Wow, beauty of a session! Love the progression from low power to high power.

Well the XW sale has put the smack dab at the same price as DeLites and this is what the doubt arises.. if one doesn't want the ergonomics of DeLites(like binoviewing), why would one even buy one now?

Have you compared the XWs and DeLites in the 5mm and 7mm FLs? What is the consensus? Price is out of contention as they are both at the exact same price now with the XW sale. Going to be specifically used for lunar/planetary. Will I gain anything at all if I choose the DeLites? I've read enough that the DeLite might be a smidge ahead from respected folks like BillP but would like to hear from more people who've directly compared them. 8" F/6

There is a Omegon version of the 10mm in TS. https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p13051_Omegon-Eyepiece-Oberon-10-mm---82--Field---1-25--Barrel.html

This is an underrated comment lol!

Thanks Louis great info! Where did you find the zoom for 349$? APM website lists it at 395€.

Dono dav ,but yor woz r gret! 😄 PS : I do not want any weak hearted English graduates to see these posts! Probably would hang themselves lol.

We may never be sure in this situation. There is an infinite number of possibilities for life in infinite number of planets. We don't even know whether ET life requires a planet like us. So yeah, it's uncertainty at its best.

Who is the host? 🥶

Well the Drake equation is almost useless because most of the variables in the equation are unknown to us. What we could do is a pretty wild approximation. So yes, it's not going to come out and say anything useful like F=Gm1m2/r² or E=mc².

Honestly I've learnt more grammar in this thread than my entire English classes.

Stree lights go a long way in ruining deep sky observing. Certainly much more than background light pollution. This is coming from someone whose house is at the corner of the street with a street light just a few metres away. The best you can do is to avoid the direct light by hiding behind a wall or a light shield like you said.
