Hello guys

Well here's some pics of my kit:

My eyepieces, barlows etc

(click to enlarge)

Skymax 90mm Maksutov

Burgess Optical 91mm Apo triplet (in a cool box!)

(click to enlarge)

My beloved Evostar 150mm refractor on the EQ6

(click to enlarge)

And last but definitely not least my Skyliner 300p dob - stored in a NASA certified garage

I think I've pretty much got all bases covered with this - Dob for general observing, Skymax 90 for portability, Burgess Apo for imaging and Evostar for high power lunar etc & solar stuff. :cheers:

Hope you like it all

Very nice collection of gear - is that the Celestron eyepiece set in the first picture?

Ooooh the Burgess yum yum !

[algol]

that case looks like a maplin special lol

nice range of scopes though mate, fancy that dob lol.

is the evostar a good planetary scope or do you use one of the others.

[M110]

Yep that's the Celestron EP set - not maplin's

I do like the Evostar for planetary as it has the highest f ratio of my 'scopes - although the dob gives stonkin' views

Ah, thought it looked familiar, I had a look at one the other day in a shop in Dorking - are they good eyepieces?

[algol]

Some serious scopage there Alex. Looks like you got the two bigger brother's of my scopes (120mm Evostar and 250px)

Proper old school hand made frame with Reynolds 531 tubing ....... nice.

Used to send myself dizzy on 10 and 25 mile time trials back in the day but a dicky ticker has put paid to that . I was never any good Alex but it kept me out of mischief.

I'm not particularly good either and I don't ride as much as I used too - I'm more interested in astronomy at the moment! I've never done any competitive riding anyway as I prefer nice relaxing rides.

It used to be my Dad's who used to do a spot of racing on it. It has to be at least 35 years old now - still going strong
