  1. Hi Roy

    The scope looks superb:). I'm assuming its the same Prinz originally that you bought from me a while back? These old Prinz Circle K objectives are so good, they are worth investing in,in the same way Neil English invested in the Moonrakering of the Meade 339 (Topic 80mm F15, Towa lens) which I now have in my care.

    Congratulations on a lovely project:-).

    Hi Dave, you seem to be missing a D an G from your sig....?

  2. 2015 version.

    Had to succumb and get a Maplins case due to the new additions of the Delites my wooden case was has been outgrown.

     Will get round to making a nice wooden case for these eventually but this will do for now.

    Nice Phil, your case is growing and mine is shrinking, i am in the process of slimming down my astro gear, going back to my smaller EP case

  3. You kept that quiet :grin: Nice one Jules. Good scopes and very versatile

    Yes, used it again last night and very good it was, i am nicely surprised at how little CA it shows and the lens is pretty sharp across the whole field, this is one scope that is staying with me, the rack an pinion focuser is well up to the job, the funny thing is i had been looking at getting a TAL 75 frac but they just dont ever come up, this is possibly a better scope so i am very happy

  4. My new frac for grab and go/travel has arrived, looks very nice, will post a pic when i get a chance

    I had a brief first light last night on the Moon, very nice, some CA as expected but nicely controlled and sharper views than i had hoped for, sits on the mount well...............jobs a good un :cool:

  5. Wow, you guys are really getting on well with these little newts, im on my second one and cant even get it to focus a 1.25 ep (just like the last one)

    I am pleased to say i solved the focus issues with a £5 astroboot long 2" to 1.25 adapter, now all my ep`s come to focus :cool:  this adapter is the same one as supplied with my old 150p ds

    Just need some time  and clear skies to make an imaging start

  6. Nice bunch of fracs Spaceboy :)

    Apart from the apartment store plasic frac I had age 7, the Evo120 was my first proper frac as well. 

    same for me, i had an ST80 for a short while, then got a blue tube 120 f8, this was a pretty good scope and there have been times when i have considered getting another

  7. Here's my latest acquisition - picked it up yesterday!! :grin: . I was unexpectedly offered this absolutely as new Bresser AR127L OTA complete with the following:

    -Good quality - and I MEAN good quality 2" solid alumium diagonal with compression fittings and THREE retaining screws at 120 deg spacings 

    -Really nice illuminated 8x50 finderscope

    -Really nice Bresser 25mm wide angle eyepiece (2" fit)

    -Excellent Meade 5000 HD 60 32mm wide angle eyepiece

    The scope honestly does look like new and is only 8 months old. I was lucky that it was one of the versions of this scope that did come with good quality accessories - I know some of them had rubbish diagonals etc.

    Hope you like the pics - I'll do a proper first light once I've had a chance to check her out. The lens coatings look superb and the cell is fully collimateable. Some of the pics show a comparison with my Tal 100RS for size - the AR127L is much bigger, but very manageable on my upgraded CG-5 :p

    Dave

    Nice looking scope Dave, i am a little surprised to see you have another 100rs
