My latest acquisitions

[avtaram]

Recently I've acquired the Meade 24mm UWA and the Delos 14mm and today the Nagler T4 17mm arrived. Haven't had a decent clear night for ages and according to the forecast this trend is set to continue. Can't wait to use these eyepieces in good seeing conditions and not just dodging between the clouds.

Very nice. I have the Nagler 17T4 and it is a cracking EP. I have the 8mm Delos which is also very good (the 14mm should be every bit as good). The Meade UWA 24mm is no slouch either, from what I have heard

I'm hoping to get the Delos 6mm (when funds allow) to complete the line up.

That's a nice looking collection, The meades UWAs are some seriously sized whoppers, but I like the deisgn styling, not that it should matter much  .  I wonder how many BGOs you could store in that meade, it would almost work as a case

that reminds me of seeing the guy at telescope house bringing a 30mm UWA out from round back of the shop. I though he was bringing in some new shoes the box was so big.

The meade is a heavy eyepiece but it doesn't upset the balance of the Dob, which is surprising.

I have an Ikea magnetic knife rack wrapped in several layers of flocking material that I had left over which I can slide up and down the tube should the need arise.

 That's a proper shoe box

[Dude_with_the_tube]

had them both 24mm and 30mm meade 5000`s.cracking eye pieces! Box from 30mm is a proper shoe size 11 box and you can easily store not a couple but all your BGO`s with the boxes in them and will still have space left over

Enjoy the views!

I have never seen so many photos of my eyepieces, the 26mm is all over one thread and like it was in the review the 24mm want to be noticed, coming in a box like that is a good start point.

Alan, you have a good EYE for EYEPIECES.

Either the eyepieces are huge. Or the sofas are tiny! :-)

It's dolls house furniture - it's an old trick to make eyepieces look larger in photos.

Nobody in their right mind would actually want to own eyepieces that are 10" tall and weigh nearly 2 lbs 

Nice eyepieces Avtar - the Meade 5000 UWA's remind me of a jellyfish in some odd way
