The GuideScope

Whilst nobody suggested GuideScope it came to mind after reading jonifive's suggestion Guide Star

So, jonifive, you have won a Baader Genuine Orthoscopic eyepiece

Let me know which focal-length you'd like and I'll dispatch one as soon as the postal workers come off strike!

JV good name and yoou'll love the eyepiece

[jonifive]

WOW! Thats great, thanks Steve, I'm chuffed.......

Well done everyone for taking part.....(sorry CW, you can borrow it for a while if you want, as long as you do a review!!)

I think the 12.5 is the one for me, anything smaller I tend to struggle with.

Steve, you should have my details on file, if not PM me.

Fantastic, thanks Steve & Greg :D

(didn't want one anyway... :crybaby: )

[StarMan1701]

Well done JV.

Lee.

[dogfish]

Well done JV. The 12.5 is what I'd have chosen, sniff, as I already have the 7mm, which is nice but doesn't get a lot of use TBH. Good choice of name too.

Martin

[James]

Nice one JV!

James

[barkis]

The name fits the bill nicely.

Nice one Jv. Now your wife knows you are a winner, she may treat you more compassionately in future.

Well done mate.

Ron.

[Cloudwatcher]

Good man JV and a good size choice too. Thanks for the kind offer of of a loan but I think it does the same job as the SPL 12.5mm I have so you will have to write your own review.

If the performance is the same you will be very happy with your choice.

Enjoy

CW

P.S.Mind you I still think that ............

'The independent observer & amateur imagers current optical equipment news review blog' is a much snapier title!

[Albedo 0.39]

Well done JV

JV

[themos]

happy to see mine shortlisted but I agree that GuideScope is better, (even though it's a mongrel word, half germanic/half greek)

[SteveL]

So, where is the blog then? Come on, need to see it!

[FLO]

First Light Reflections was second favourite but we felt GuideScope was snappier...

So, where is the blog then? Come on, need to see it!

Was planning to launch today but my cold is lingering and has spread to my wife and 3-year old Son, so I am a bit pre-occupied :roll:

Hopefully tomorrow
