Treat them mean & keep them keen

[nightfisher]

here is my very humble offering, however i am getting some 2" eps and no way will they fit in. i have 6 plossl`s, some filters and my spc webcam in this little case!

[spaceboy]

I think I need a new case. Don't know where the latest BGO addition is going to go

[Revs]

Wow that's a lot of green. The 22T4 is a belter init

[Mike Hackenbacker]

mine is just the kit from celestron..

More-or-less the same as my kit when I got it 15 years ago (-1 day). I good EPs sharpness-wise, and I saw a hell of a lot with that. I only started replacing them after 10 or 12 years.

Caramba! Mucho verde!

Nice kit. I have the 22 and 17 T4 Naglers, great EPs. I am torn between getting a Nagler 31mm T5 like yours and the Explore Scientific 30mm 82 deg. I hear some people find the 31T5 needs quite exact eye positioning. What is your experience?

The BGO orther should fit in somewhere, they are quite tiny.

Mmmm, lovey BGO's, i have always kinda regretted selling mine. I convinced myself i wasn't getting on with the tight eye relief but in hindsight its probably not my best decision to date

Yeah know what you mean.

After using a Circle T 9mm Ortho I am starting to quite like the orthoscopic characteristics.

Cant really justify to myself doubling up on focal lengths when I have the 7mm T6 and the Nagler zoom.

Spaceboy that is some seriously nice kit you have there, you kept those quiet at the star party

I see in your sig Mark you are going for a 10 or 12'' dob next. I had a look through a 12" solid tube Tuesday evening and it blew me away, along with my puny 8'' It has reignited my aperture fever all over again

Yeah know the feeling

After looking through Shanes monster dob at the veil nebula last weekend I just cant resist the draw of the big aperture reflectors even though I am more of a refractor kind of guy....

The veil nebula is invisible under my skies with the 4" refractor & OIII filter as I found out last night to my dismay, in the 16" you could not miss it, it looked like the long exposure photos you see of it and no mistaking what it was....

Very nice

That one on the end looks familiar

I hear some people find the 31T5 needs quite exact eye positioning. What is your experience?

.

I searched reviews before I purchased the 31T5 and I almost didn't bother due to all the talk of eye position and black outs etc. The reason why I did buy the 31T5 is because I had read the same comments about the 22T4 and I have never had a problem with that. Some EP's are fussy to eye position but it's nothing that the user cannot adapt to and in most cases black outs are only caused by the user allowing the light cone to be cut off from entering the retina.

The 1st day I used mine I found this, but it took only a couple of sessions to get used to it. Now I find it to be very confortable and easy to use.

Here's mine - due to a change of scope these are all recent additions except the 32mm omni and the shorty plus barlow. Looking forward to some clear skies to get some time with them.

Plenty of space left, though

[saturn10]

Hello,

There are some nice eyepiece pictures there, given time I will try to have a good set myself. (If her indoors lets me)

regards,

Rob

[saturn10]

My meade zoom takes alot of beating.

[RikM]

Updated EP case. With a bit of luck the 30mm Vixen and 8.8 UWA will be replaced with 20mm and 10mm Pentax XW's at Christmas.

[jasonp]

Recent addition of Hyperion which has been used once due to cloud !

I have been a bit busy since posting my humble red bag offering the other day, i have just finished fitting out my ep case with foam, note there is room on the lower right for a couple of uni optics ortho`s

[MjrTom]

Looking good Jules

Lots of space in there for some nice Orthos

Another update from me

Managed to find a flight case from a few years back that I had in the loft. With a bit of DIY with some foam and some double sided tape it now forms the basis of my accessories box.

plus a couple more eyepieces as well

I see Mark, that you opt for Chocolate Inspiration for your Solar Filter box, my preference is Vanilla.
