Rotary eyepiece selector

[Starlight 1]

Just looking up old 1970 telescopes and i come by a  Rotary eyepiece selector   hold 6 EP nerver seen one .

Unitron (USA) used to offer them advertied as "Unihex". I've made some in the past. You have to have the eye end capped otherwise they dew up. A half dozen Ethos type might well need a counterweight at the front of the telescope.

I've seen these in old catalogs for telescopes - Unitron, as said above. Never 'rang my bell' as something I'd want or use. I wouldn't want my valuable eyepieces sitting-out uncapped unless they were in active use. And I seldom plan to use more than two on any given target.

To each their own,

Dave

Baader sell a reasonably priced turret eyepiece selector. Takahashi offer more pricey versions as do several other manufacturers, so they are still around.
