Pig Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Well my new 9mm BGO has arrived and it is in perfect condition. I will do a comparison as soon as we get some more clear skies with the 10mm Delos and let you all know my findings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_with_the_tube Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 thats going to be interesting.I had the BGO and i know what they can show,but i never had a Delos and i have heard a very good reports on them and some put them equal to BGO! this is going to be an interesting comparison.

Naemeth Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I suspect you will find they perform very similarly, with the Delos being more comfortable and having a larger FOV. Interesting to see a comparison though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I spent some time comparing the 5mm BGO with the 5mm XW. In the end I could not see any optical performance differences so I kept the XW on the grounds of viewing comfort and a significantly wider field.I read one report where a Baader Classic 10mm ortho showed very slightly more contrast on DSO's than a 10mm Delos. Good performance from a £50 eyepiece there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualia Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Look forward to your opinion, Shaun. I have both the Delos 10mm and BGO 9mm and find them both spectacular eyepieces. Each have an important role to play in my semi-minimalist EP collection and I feel both are keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faulksy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 hi piggy , your going to love the 9mm bgo bit tight to use but as long as your viewing site is quite dark you shouldn't get any external light entering, be interesting on your thoughts hopefully tonight you will get first light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Though not directly comparable, I was using a 6mm BCO the other morning on the double transit and it was very very good at revealing finer detail that my 8.5 XL or 7mm Nagler could manage. Yes, tight ER and more nudging , but worth it for the detail. Might have to get another..... Never really liked the idea of the orthos with the tight er and FOV, but I'm turning....

alan potts Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Congratulations on the 9mm BGO, look foward to hearing what you have to say about them. it is a report that I could do because as one came the other went out the door, I do wish it would come back.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thank you Alan, the forecast here is pretty dismal for the next few days at least so it is going to be a while before I put it on trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 I stand corrected, the met office shows a break in the clouds in the early hours of Sunday morning I will set the alarm clock and probably ignore it when it does go off but I will try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
