What is Your Droolworthy Telescope?
stuy replied to Mandy D's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
As far as I know there isn’t another 9” lzos here may be wrong , a few 8” tho I think, it really is a pleasure to use planetary view in good seeing is quite extraordinary the contrast is incredible especially in the binoviewer! It’s a lump that’s for sure ! But stays in observatory but the mak newt is portable just!! -

I had some of the best seeing early morning today giving breathtaking views of the both Jupiter and Saturn with wind speeds of 31/ms at 9000m. I don’t expect much but how wrong was I ! Saturn showing C ring really well a difficult part of the ring at times also SPR showing a bluish tinge , equatorial regions showing lovely individual bands of various intensity, jupiter was a joy to behold stock steady at 400x lovely festoon in NEB and a very small oval in SSTB only complaint was the transparency was around 6-7/10 but seeing was 9+ /10 that bit of lacking transparency was robbing me of the EZ structure I’ve seen before with this scope just goes to show make the use of each clear night , the seeing in the UK can be like a lottery at times but when you get these special nights it makes it worth it scope 9” f9 lzos APO with zeiss binoviewer and various zeiss and takahashi eyepieces
