Pig Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Alan,I agree with the thought behind the 14mm - I will give the 10mm a shot first and see what it is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan potts Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think that is an excellent way to do it. The sale is on for some time so that is not rushing you and I think it is good for you to get used to the 10mm, they do take a little bit of getting to know. Nothing serious just eye position, If I were to leave the lockable eyeguards in place it would be easier, but I tend to push them down to fit them back in the cases.I hope you get some good weather with it.Alan.

Naemeth Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 That didn't take long , you could always add the 14mm and 17.3mm Delos as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkster Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Alan's right, 165x or so would be a great mag for globs, that are up in abundance at this time of year. However for a little extra you can get the ES100 in a 14mmhttp://www.explorescientific.de/explore-scientific-100deg-eyepiece-14mm-p-22836.html?currency=GBPSupposed to be very close to the Ethos, the wider sibling of the Delos. There must be someone in here using the extreme wides in a C9.25, but there is a chance for scope induced coma and field curvature...the field is supposed to be flatter in the C9.25 than the other SCTs, so the scope shouldn't make too much of a mess of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emadmoussa Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 For planetary, does the Delos 10mm have much of an advantage over, say, Baader Hyperion 8mm? personally find the later very neat indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 For planetary, does the Delos 10mm have much of an advantage over, say, Baader Hyperion 8mm? personally find the later very neat indeed.Thats a fair question - what do you get for the additional £150 or so additional expenditure ?Not having compared the two I'm not in a position to answer but some of the folks moving to the Delos eyepieces now will have no doubt used Hyperions too.My guess is that the answer is improved light scatter control, contrast, sharpness, and a little more light transmission plus build quality. It will be interesting to see what others think though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Go for the Delos 14mm, it's the best piece of kit I have bought in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan potts Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 CharonPicking up on Emadmoussas question I know the focal lengths are not the same as he was asking about but I see you have a Hyperion 10mm, how do you think they compair. I only ever had my hands on two, 5mm and the 21mm and I can't say that I was that lovestruck with them and that was in the days I only had Meades, I used to and still do have a few samples loned to me, never any TV's though.Alan.

Dunkster Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 LOL sounds like I need a new scope already I very much doubt that but if you regard the optical system as two halves... the eyepiece and the telescope... then it'd be unfair to keep upgrading one half without paying some attention to the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I do not think I will be buying another scope in the near future However, I couldn't agree more about bringing the other half up to scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan potts Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Pig,the one you have is a very nice scope, always believed to be the best one out of that line-up. It was my last of two, Meade 12inch or Celestron 9.25, then I got a bank on the head.Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkster Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Congrats on your new EP! Hope you get first light soon It's been clear here every night recently, but last night it hammered it down with rain.

alan potts Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Congratulation on your first Delos, I hope it don't get lonely without a brother. I am sure you will find it excellent in your scope, excellent in any scope come to that.Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
