alan potts Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Good luck and clear skies with the new eyepieces. There is not a great deal between the 6mm Delos and the zoom at the 6mm setting and you should get on well with it, though I don't use mine as much as I thought I would. I still find myself reaching for the Delos's first but that could just be because I have them. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naemeth Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Rather annoyingly the two LVs I wanted aren't in stock, so I'm getting them refunded but the other two (Nagler Zoom and 25mm TV plossl) are in stock . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexB67 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I got my measly little order this morning, it looked pristine as new, thanks Jonathan for pointing me to that add, another nice BST 25mm to add to the collection . Now all that needs to happen is for there to be a clear night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emadmoussa Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 For a minute there, you made me cringe, man! If you require any info on Delos eyepieces, Shaun (Pig) is your man - I wonder if he can see this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naemeth Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 They've arrived, the 25mm TV Plossl and 3-6mm Nagler Zoom . I'm seriously going to either need another case or get a new one, I had to take out my TAL Barlow, fortunately I never use it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be prepared for those extra trips up and down the stairs you were talking about . You are going to need to some sort of crane to get it all out of the flat in one go one of these days if you get a big Dob as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naemeth Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Cool stuff, mate! You must be a giddy bunny now I am indeed. First Light may be possible tomorrow night .That's a nice collection of eyewear . Be prepared for those extra trips up and down the stairs you were talking about . You are going to need to some sort of crane to get it all out of the flat in one go one of these days if you get a big Dob as well. The big dob is on hold for now, while I plan. I need something that's easy to manoeuvre . These two eyepieces won't add any extra trips fortunately - that's the advantage of one case!That's looking good I had to buy a bigger one, I didn't want to have to carry 2 2 eyepiece cases for a night sounds a little excessive. Mind you, with all the eyepieces I'm thinking about I'll probably need 3/4 cases . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my latest sessions out have literally been sweeping the skies. I'm really loving wide-field observing, and I may even add an even shorter 'frac fpr the purpose (maybe the TV 60? 360mm Focal Length ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
