Heads-Up, New SWANs and DELOs

[Charic]

Anyone shopping? Just browsing for  Delos and noted Uk Astro B&S has a selection of Delos Radian, Swan's up for grabs. The £63 caught my eye ( think that's an error!) as the items are  individually  priced.

There's also a couple of Pentax xws

....didn't see any XWs under the link I was looking at, but a vendor has discontinued, and the  result, a few TV's and WO's are  available.

Was a bit unsure about this, but decided to take a punt on a delos 8mm.

Hope it's legitimate. Where's the nervous emoticon.

Total was £235 with UK postage.

....that seems like a bargain,  a new EP at UK prices, your looking at between 273-310 mark, depending on who you shop with.

Pity there wasn't a 6mm Delos, but I have gone for the 14mm, to replace the Morpheus 14mm

[Charic]

........nice. My first was the 6mm which provides the 200x for my particular scope, although I could have Barlowed a 12mm for the same effect!  I'd hoped a 12mm would come first ( one did arrive,  but I was too late, and from the same town too ?) I suppose the 10mm should be the next, to keep the sequence or a 12 if I'm so lucky, and of the two I already  own, I still  need a decent session and conditions to evaluate them further, after-all, their the same focal lengths as my BSTs,  with a  12° wider  afov,  and I still rate those EPs  highly for an f/6 scope. If I keep the Delos EPs they may prove their worth when connected to a faster scope.

That should complete the mini-set

They have just shipped the 14mm, and sent me the tracking code. Looking forward to its arrival.

The 8mm I ordered should be with me on Thursday.

My 9mm xcel lx has seen a lot of use in my 250px, so the 8mm should be a great fit at 150x mag.

I have the 8mm, and it is great (especially since I made it parfocal with the XWs :D)
