Blu Takahashi. Abbe Ortho MC serie completed in double

[Fedele]

The Takahashi Blue.
Left: I have finally completed the Ortho Abbe MC series. they are the best eyepieces I love to use, despite their narrow field for someone like me who loves the wide field. in the face of perfection, however, everything takes a back seat. so much so that it is also wonderful to use them in the turret. Now declared out of production for some absurd reason .... I managed to complete the series in doubles up to 6 mm and also found the 4 mm

Speaking for my own gut reaction i'm not sure that is a picture that will win you loads of friends and goodwill on here 😂- jealousy is such an unpleasant quality 😍😋

i've only dipped my toe in with an 18mm pair and i agree in my limited experience so far within the parameters of what they do (limited FOV) they seem essentially perfect (it doesn't feel like there is any glass in them) even compared to other well regarded EP's. 

Lovely

So that's where all the Abbe eyepieces are! that is a fine collection you have.

How about a beauty shot of all of them out of their boxes.  For all we know, you bought a bunch of empty boxes. 😄

At first i chuckled thinking you were just being funny, then I took another look at the boxes and realize they are quite nice!

I have to think of some elegant container (not bulky) to store them in a logical way and keep the boxes that risk deteriorating with use

A small hard case.  If the case is tall enough, the eyepieces can be shored vertically in the foam, and you could easily put all the eyepieces in one case.

I would get a case to store those lovely empty boxes. And one for the eyepieces 😊

Nothing surprises me from the man of many taks 😂

I think the Bank of England offer air conditioned and dehumidified space in their vaults for rental..🤔

..but the light pollution around their site would test even the Tak orthos to their very limit?

But at least, in 50 years time, you would have a pristine set of boxes, probably worth as much as the eyepieces!☺️
