Show me your eyepiece/accessories case, please.

Nice one digger. I got one of those 4mm "UWA" EPs (more like a planetary) second-hand for my son when he got glasses, and he could no longer use the 6.3mm Plossl on his 4.5" mini-Dob. I was impressed by the quality of that EP. It is also comfortable to use. On my F/6 APM triplet it produced some really nice images of Saturn, Mars and Jupiter.

Yep I'm really pleased with the SW 4mm UWA. I wasn't sure if my little Heritage 130 could handle it but it works great. Next one I want in the box is a decent wide field and that "should" do now until I can afford a new scope. But as pointed out that expensive looking space in the case just seems to be pleading to be filled.

My current set. There's also a 9mm Ortho (Kasai), missing from the pic. 
From left to right: 
Antares Plossl 32mm - 52° 
Agena ED 21mm - 55°

Just added a WO dielectric diagonal to the case. I soldone when I got my Dennkmeier filter-switch diagonal but that will not come to focus with the 80mm F/6. The 2" Amici prism does reach focus, but I do not always like to use that. Still plenty of space. Note that the case does not contain my MV24mm or WO zoom, as I keep them in the solar case I take to work frequently

I would love to show my EP case but don't know how to take a picture and put it in the correct place so if anyone has any ideas I would be very happy to hear from you I'm writing to you on a Motorola XOOM which takes pictures but sending them to this site is a mystery. Jimmy.

Are you using TapaTalk to connect to the forum?

If so, when you are typing a message there should be a small button on the left that has a picture of a camera on it. Click on the camera and it will tell you what to do.

If not, I don't know.

Hi all

Thought I might as well get in on the action with my small collection!

The top two are the stock SW MAs, in there from before I got the 'replacements' which are the Meade 5000 UWA 18mm and recently purchased (last week!) Meade 5000 HD-60 9mm at the bottom. On the right are the Revelation 2.5x Barlow and my modified Lifecam Cinema HD, with a couple of filters (UV and Skyglow) and microfiber cloths.

Not much as yet but steadily growing!

Here's my latest incarnation. Recently sold 13mm Ethos to add 16mm T2 Nagler plus added a 40mm TV Widefield. I think I am done although I am a little tempted for a mid-range zoom for solar. I think I need a new foam insert!

Very nice selection now Shane. All bases covered I'd say  :smiley:

I keep saying "thats it" with mine too but somehow something else slips in now and again. I've fallen for the Pentax XW's lately and I just need the 10mm to complete my short FL line of those. I could do with a short set of orthos again too I suppose ...... oh dear it never stops !   :embarrassed:

I was thinking of getting a 6mm Delos but having used the Baader 2.25 Zoom Barlow with the 10mm and 14mm Delos' giving me 4.4mm and 6.2mm I don't think I need anymore eyepieces.

I was pleasantly surprised to find how clear and sharp the images were with this Barlow.

Thats it I've got all the Astro gear I need, bring on the dark clear nights.

Just made my set complete with a 36mm aspheric from Baader  :happy6:

Does your TAL 125 Apolar bring 2" eyepieces to focus OK Wim ?

The one I had to test did not have enough inwards focuser travel so I had to stay with 1.25" accessories.
