Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

Reeny,

That makes the postage look hellish expensive, nice little case. I am not friends with the post my sons Birthday present has gone missing and they make it sound like its my fault for ordering it.

Alan.

[Reeny]

They do a smaller 3-compartment version for 99p + £4 postage.

I was hoping to get 2 for £6 all in.

But no, they wanted £6 postage for goods worth less than £2 (£8 total).

I was desperately looking for more stuff to add onto my order, but I ain't no fisherman.

Slight change to my Ortho/Plossl case, the 12.5mm Hutech now has a 5mm companion to fend off those BGO's

Nice and compact, and even the BGO colour mixes well with the TV, not that it matters. Imagine the same amount of ethos  and delos, the case would be weigh like a concrete block

Just got a new Maplins Large High Impact Case while they were on offer and have finished arranging my eyepieces in it. I'm thinking about not doing cutouts for the larger bits of kit but I think I will need to for the Orthoscopics and the Hyperion zoom barlow. I might try to squeeze some filters in there as well.

Very nice collection, Hobbes

[Hobbes]

Thank you Michael. The acquisition of a fast newtonian earlier this year has started me on an upgrade binge and I've developed a bad Black and Green habit!

That affliction can strike even people with an F/10 SCT

I think you're going to need a bigger boat, sorry box

You may be right - that Meade 5000 30mm (which I only got last week) has kind of tipped me over the edge. It's a beast of an eyepiece but gives great views. Markarians Chain was spectacular thorugh it and I cannot wait for the summer milky way views.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

That Meade 30 makes the Hyperion 31 redundant. That frees up a little space

[Moonshane]

I haven't bought an eyepiece for ages now, a year I think. maybe I am cured? then again I have bought two scopes, a filter wheel, two finders and made a couple of solar filters so the addiction is still there!

[estwing]

tis 8months for me...just need that OIII filter!

[Floater]

That Black and Green beast has got me in its grip.

I know it's bad; I know I should resist; but I'm weak and getting weaker. I've set up instant notification for anything that has Nagler in it. I scour the ad sites. I know I'm falling; I know I'm lost - but wow! what a buzz!

[KeironKK]

All this green and black niceness is making me jealous!! 

[Laurie61]

I must admit to weakening and buying another EP, although it is for my birthday  took advantage of the 10% off at Tele-House and ordered a 6 mm Delos. It will replace a 6 mm williams optic spl. A bit of a departure for me as I have been mainly a TV plossl and, a selection of, ortho's user up until now, the spl being the only long eye relief EP in the case.   

[John]

I've been pretty good lately although a Nagler 3-6 zoom has come and gone, a Hyperion zoom has arrived and a 2X Powermate is back in the eyepiece case again. I've got no excuse really as I still have a box of great eyepieces on loan from First Light Optics to play with as well

[alan potts]

John,

So that is is 3 Nagler zooms now? If so I think that means you don't like it for some reason.

Here is my little collection. I think that's me about done on the eyepiece front.

[Caldwell14]

I suppose I could find room under the Cheshire to put the filters and add a 24mm Panoptic. I am not totally convinced it would add anything the 32mm Plossl hasn't already got covered.

[Moonshane]

I tend to agree with you, especially with a relatively slow scope like yours. the 32mm is excellent.

[Caldwell14]

Yes it really is. I wouldn't be without a 32mm TV Plossl.

[Stu]

I agree with that in terms of quality (I have both), however I do find the 24mm better in that it delivers practically the same fov but with a smaller exit pupil and the darker sky background which comes with it. Under anything other than a nice dark sky, this gives better results to my mind. You could probably lose the 32mm Plossl in that case and get something else?

I Have been pretty good myself, but just lately i have sort of rediscovered the humble plossl, i had bought a used but as new skywatcher silvertop 25mm, finally got a look with it a few weeks back and got a bit of a wow factor, these were very nice for the money, so just picked up a TAL 10mm plossl and waiting for it to arrive 

[Stu]

Sorry to repost this again so soon. Just made a decision about selling a couple more ep's and have now reached a final set for my 1.25" travel/ortho case.

The 24mm Panoptic has never really had a home, and is ideal for widefield at dark sites with a 3.4 degree fov in the TV76. At the other end, the 3 to 6 Nag zoom gives me mags up to x160, more if barlowed so all bases are covered. Quite happy with this now so will stop fiddling! Really enjoying my orthos as I keep saying ;-)
