incoming paracorr 2...

[estwing]

hopin this will land in the morning, after one of the best nights viewing through other people's scopes on Friday/Saturday night I was convinced I need to get a paracorr as soon as possible! got a great deal from Telescope house and can't waitto get it into the focuser..ps I finally found M2 in simon's 16" Lightbridge...stunning! wonder what it's goin to look like in the Moonshane..?!

Great acquisition Calvin, I think at 3.9 you will definitely need it to sharpen up those edge stars in your wonderful 100 degree Ethos.

I was so impressed with your eyepiece I've now ordered the 21 from Telescope House, but the paracorr will have to wait for me now!!!

My delivery is due tomorrow so hopefully you will get lucky too.

I'm sure M2 in the moonshane will blow you away, let us know how you get on.

Good choice for a f3.9 - coma is really challenging at that f ratio.

You have been waiting quite a while for the paracorr, I hope it serves you well

Blimey Calvin! You've been waiting for a P2 on the s/h market for as long as I can remember and you finally had enough and got a new one! It must be amazing! Looking forward to a detailed first light report, haven't heard of anyone buying a P2 for a long time!

[Moonshane]

it will be a treat for sure mate. it really makes a difference.

What does a paracorr do?

[Moonshane]

it corrects the coma on fast newts. looking through a f4 is like looking through an f8 with sharp stars across the field of even wide eyepieces.

I just couldn't hold out any longer!!!...and the PSP will be here soon! nice one simon ...I sorta felt that once it had been in your scope it was gonna blow you away,did me! clear skies!...report asap!

[Naemeth]

Good luck with the Paracaorr Cal . The views afterwards should certainly be worth the eye-watering price of a new Paracorr .

[John]

Hope this marvelous device works great for you

I'm glad I've got an F/5.3 though - I have to look really hard to see any coma at all, even with 100 degree EP's

Nice one Calvin, looking forward to reading your thoughts on its performance.

[estwing]

landed! bar a lumicon OIII my spendings in the eyepiece department are done...no really!

[Pig]

Cough Cough of course it is

[Rustysplit]

That is great news Calvin. I would love to grab a look through your scope with all the bells and whistles.

I am trying to forget the view through both of your Ethos. I don't know what all the fuss is about??
