This lot put my humble celestron case to shame - one day, dreams.....

Your Celestron collection is a good deal bigger than what I started out with (a 10mm, 26mm celestron Plossl, and a Vixen "silver top" 36mm Plossl). I thoroughly enjoyed observing with them. Yours should give you very good views.

I sure did!

Three Radians for £340 quid? Too good to miss!

It sure was, just wish i had that sort of money. I did try to formulate a devious plan with some other members, whereby we all chipped in and grabbed a brand new Radian for £113 but it didn't come off sadly.

They really do look wonderful, quite envious.

My ultra minimalist set (3 Radians and a 32mm Plossl) and a home made wooden case! 24th January 2011 09:15 PM

very nice, I hope to get a couple more Naglers to complete my set, the Radian will probably go but I don't doubt how good they are;)

This was my collection a few years back - and I was dead pleased with it :

the thing about eyepieces is that they all work and they all show us things we'd never see without 'em! as Forrest Gump would say, the rest is just for showing off

Do not forget, the eye and mind behind the eyepiece are more important than the EP itself.

totally agree Michael!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

totally agree Michael!

Unless the eyepiece is one of those horrible plastic Huygens wannabes, perhaps.

[Moonshane]

maybe, but if you have no eyepieces and someone gives you one of these, then......

[Mr Spock]

If they do another 3 for 2 I might be tempted. You can't have too many eyepieces, right?

that was a really good offer Mr Spock, its a shame they come around so rarely

[Patbloke]

Oh dear... I have a clip box from Morrisons - ha ha more research required I suspect

Here's my first case fresh from Maplins...............

[boboco]

Just got my birthday present .... Skywatcher 28mm UWA!! So feel like my case is ready for inspection.

These are all for use with a 14" f4.5 dob and give a range from about 200X down to 50x.

[GazK]

Err...., work in progress

I love this one... pure minimalism

Just got my birthday present .... Skywatcher 28mm UWA!!

A Happy Birthday indeed! Let us know what the UWA is like (I haven't seen many reviews for these skywatchers)

(Case looks neat too!)

Thanks, I will do, I have very high hopes for it (just hope they are not too high). Anyway predictable cloud and rain for the moment, so all I can do is dream.

Another Maplins £19.99 effort.

Nice set of Hyperions there Alan. And these Maplin cases are certainly popular (hope they don't cotton on - they're sure to put the price up!).
