New extra special toy

[bomberbaz]

Just a quick heads up on the eyepiece. Gave it a brief workout last night although I had so much going on I never got chance for much tbh. Besides which conditions were not brilliant anyway.

Happening last night was: Lunar eclipse, new OIII filter to try, setting up video link, new light screens to erect

However all I will say is WOW, this one is a keeper. I will  give a more detailed overview when I have more time, less going on and better conditions.

Just in case anybody wants to look into them, I got mine from this guy. His name is Barry (thats Japanese for Barry) and he really is very helpful. Review of his dealership to follow.  http://www.kkohki.com/English/kkohkiparts.html#NikonHW eyepieces

Thank you very much, my friend! Now I have something to drool over for years to come!

"Awesome!"

Oh dear, I can hear my 17T4 trembling in the case. How about the eye relief?

ER a little tight but if i wear my astro specs (small lens and flexi frames) i dont havea problem. Yet to give it a real tryout so will report once i do.

On another note, all i will say is it felt like i was falling into space first time of viewing.

Very impressive. You sure you didn't buy a camera zoom lens?

You'll definitely need a hoist or jack under that end if DSLR imaging.

That just looks drool worthy. It's the only eyepiece that I still want to try out.

Even seems to come wearing suspenders! :-)
