GordonCopestake Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Nice setup chewy. Is that an EQ6-pro with skyscan? What newt is that? looks like an orion optics white tube gx?
chewy Posted June 25, 2006 Author Posted June 25, 2006 Cheers GordonYea its the EQ6 Proyour right also with the newt being Orion 200GXcant wait for a clear night to give them some stickIan
geppetto Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Yummy 8)Thats a lovely set up IanHope you get lots of clear sky soon
GordonCopestake Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Great optics on the 200GX and 8" is a good aperture. Should blow you away hehe. On the EQ6 it will be rock solid. Great choices!
anthony Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Can you squeeze any more scopes in there?PS like the reflection in the skywatcher diagonal.Anthony
gaelicstorm7 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Lovely stuff Ian, looks the business mate , but you've really got to get it all colour coded , roll on those dark nights !, looking forward to the images that lot's gonna produce Alan
Albireo380 Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Great Set up Ian - youv'e got it all covered - night and day. All you need now is a gizmo to banish clouds - and if you get one, can I have a loan sometimes?Enjoy.
Kaptain Klevtsov Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Marvelous stuff you have there, my only criticism would be that your Sig. needs updating. Another Coronado PST, seems like everybodys getting one.Captain Chaos
tom.yates Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Glad the scope fits the rings mate think you got it all covered mate
John Posted June 25, 2006 Posted June 25, 2006 Hi Ian,Nice setup !.Is that a Telescope House dielectric diagonal on your ED80 ? - if so how do you find it ? - I'm thinking of moving to one of these from my Tele Vue 1.25 inch Everbright on my ED80.Cheers,John,North Somerset.
chewy Posted June 26, 2006 Author Posted June 26, 2006 Hi JohnYea its one of thoselooks and feels really nice only just got it so not had chance to look through it yetIan
GordonCopestake Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 I need to upgrade my 2" diagonal from the one that came with my skywatcher 100ED. Better than a tasco one, but pretty poor. Although it might benefit from a quick clean hehe. I dont tend to clean my optics until the point i say "hmmm thats an odd looking star, theres a dark patch over it! Have i found a new planet? Ahhh no i just need to do a bit of dusting :D"
