Hi ScotRod and welcome to SGL. 

Are you using the 1.25 adapter at the same time with the 2" adapter

Nice to see others have an eyepiece spreadsheet too. Mine's below.

My standard kit, regardless of which scope I'm using, is the 22mm, 13mm, 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm. The eyepiece chart gives an idea as to what these do in terms of field of view and magnification; also what I use them for.

I have a lot more than I need lol.

 

Where's the 5mm ortho🤣

I've heard of cooling down scopes but never of heating them up!🤣

But it was so cold after a long travel and it didn't even touch the cake and coffee 🤣

Two deliveries in one day, a foam gym mat to make a dew shield for my dob.

It's exactly the same one Mark described 😁

How did you find the 12" skywatcher worked for you and what made you move form that to you current one?
What are the model numbers?

I find the 12"skywatcher dob brilliant to use but it's on the heavy side and very big having a trolley to move it around helps.

I've brought but still waiting delivery the 127mm refractor for solar, Lunar and planet's 

Hi and welcome to SGL 

M13 ,hercules cluster is nice to look at

Hi and welcome to SGL 

I started with an 12"skywatcher dob for the faint dso's  and I've just purchased a 127mm refractor. 

Hi scifiman1966.

I'm new to all this but maybe an6" or  8" dob if you have a place to store it. I think it should be in your price range I'm sure someone will be able to give some better advice 

Hi and welcome to SGL 

Another filter thanks to Saturnalia

Hi and welcome to SGL 

If you turn it horizontally could ride it to a dark site🤣

Postman just brought me 2 spider covers  for my dob.

They won't be admiring themselves in the mirror no more🤣

Keeping the postman busy 

Hi and welcome to SGL 

I've just looked at the customer reviews from flo and they say the baader ortho works well in f 4.7 at that price I might give them a go
