Luke Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Wow, so many different answers, including some bits I have that I'd forgotten about, like the Wonder Fluid, and a few things that I'd like now that you mention them A click-lock on the back of my SCT would be lovely.I vote the ND solar film as the best value astronomy anything.

Stu Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would agree with the ClickLock SCT back Luke. I got one for my mak a little while ago and finally I have a setup where I'm not scared of the diagonal suddenly rotating and depositing an expensive ep on the ground. It's very reassuring.Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 My 2" Visual back for my SCT (pre click-lock). It has completely transformed the scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME1 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 For me, it's my 4 BGO's (18, 12.5, 9 & 7mm) and the Optical wonder cleaning fluid.Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockrae78 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I forgot about my solar filter (made with Baader solar film), and my wonder fluid! Both also invaluable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotter Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 My favourite Baader is my 13mm Hyperion. It frames the Moon perfectly and has given me many happy hours viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brantuk Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Baader stuff is all generally sound. I find the 8-24 clickstop zoom the most flexible eyepiece I have and it get's used a lot for many different things, so I guess you could call it a favourite of mine. I also like the wonder fluid which I can use on all my eyepieces and refractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikM Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I had a go with a clickstop zoom in a friends 8SE yesterday and got my first ever view of Neptune. Very nice combo and a great view; noticeably blue compared the bright yellow fieldstar nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 BGO 7mm (I only have the 5mm and 7mm - wish I'd bough the set when they were still available) - my favourite single ep.Baader steeltrack on my Skylight 100 f13 - best focuser on any of my scopes.Hyperion Zoom MkIII (but like Luke, I find the 8mm setting very "soft" too) - possibly my most used bit of kit.I've also got some filters, the 2.25x Barlow, wonderfluid etc. - I find Baader stuff well built and generally very dependable.
