I only bought my scope at the beginning of March!

I'm thinking of selling the Sirius Plossls now and trying to find a quality wide-angle 6mm EP second hand. There is a Radian on the bay right now - but the price just breached my limit

With that, and a Telrad/Rigel style finder I think I'll be finished spending for quite a while!

Sorry to intrude on the thread, but where did you get the foam from?

nice one - looked expensive until I realised you get five lots.

A single piece is a little pricey, when i first did my case i worked out that i could get 3 sections the same size, one to line the lid, a base layer then a main section, this made it easier to cut out the shapes

Clas Ohlson also do cases if anyone needs one:

Here's mine , had to wait till I put my red leds on before i could post it , got the SGL standard issue maplins flight case , a BST explorer , a vixen npl , cheshire collimator etc. the red leds are from ebay 99p delivered from Hong Kong !! , they are for a car so 12v but work perfectly with a 9v pp3 as previously recommended in this thread ,the leds are self sticky & bent and drilled a thin sheet of aluminium for the switch come battery holder and pop riveted it to side of case - very James Bond.

Nice looking Ethos 13mm there Colin!! Had a chance to use it yet?

I have bought two Naglers since passing the Ethos on to you......So much for saving money eh?....!

Took advantage of the Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday to finish off my eyepiece case. It's a cube-foam flight case off ebay, and I've installed some BIG red LEDs (from maplins). Quite chuffed with the end result, even if I do say so myself....

Hi doc,

I have u used it a few times but nowt h e long days are here i tend to do solar and use t h e xcels

I used it in my maknewt nice views. I was shocked by the amount of out focus required and i am pushing my extension to the limit. I will revisit in a few months :-)

Which nags did you get?

Ok here they are... they are used on a C8 (8" f/10) and an 80mm f/5 Vixen Achromat. Combined with the barlow, they give useful magnifications ranging fron 63x - 235x (C8) and 12.5 - 94x (Refractor). For collimating the C8, I reach magnifications of up to 470x, which is sufficent to see the Airy disk.

And that's the case they are kept in:

Have a good day!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Nice set, and another Pentax XF 8.5 (and C8) user. Brilliant EP, isn't it?

[Guest]

Surely a great eyepiece! I'd like to try out the 12mm version, too, to see if I'd enjoy it more than I do enjoy the Radian. But I couldn't afford it without selling the Radian, so I will definitely have to test it first...

(still, also the 20mm Plössl combined with the 2x Barlow gives excellent views at a similar magnification)

I use a bicycle rear LED light as well.

Glad to see someone else is "slumming it".

Do you hold yours with your teeth as well?
