Fedele Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 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 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josefk Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) 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 Edited January 31, 2023 by josefk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis D Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 How about a beauty shot of all of them out of their boxes. For all we know, you bought a bunch of empty boxes. 😄 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedele Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Pensack Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one for the eyepieces 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least, in 50 years time, you would have a pristine set of boxes, probably worth as much as the eyepieces!☺️ Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
