New Kit on the way!!!!

[Jarvo]

Just taken advange of the Televue 20% discount offer.

I've ordered a Radian 8mm Eyepiece. Wanted one for ages for the Long Eye Relief (being of a bespectacled nature ).... and I'm addicted to Televues quality products

I've also ordered a Celestron Neximage Solar System imager. Going to link it up to the 150mm Mak and see how it performs on Saturn.

I'll post a review of each when they get here. Guaranteed clear skies now .

could save yourself some money and buy a philips 880 webcam, flashed to 900, adaper and filter all for under £40, same chip as the celestron and half the price

All ready on it's way unfortunately - but thanks for the offer.

Did try and get one through buy and sell but didnt get far .

What benefits does the upgrade provide coz Ive seen a patch for the neximage which achieves the same result .....apparently

You won't need to flash the Neximage as it is allready the same chip as an SPC900. You might consider the LX mod though ( see Astronomiser) - but that's for later really

Hi Jarvo, I am tempted to get a TeleVue 6mm radian to use on my TAL-1. I have a slight astigmatism in my eyes and I have heard somewhere that TeleVue is the way to go. Do you have this problem as well, if so are TeleVues really the answer.

[Jarvo]

Hi John - Yeah I've got the same problem. I got two Skywatcher Long Eye Relief Eyepieces when I bought the Mak but they are not very nice - especially the 9mm.

I can see the difference when I try to observe without my specs.

The Radian came the following day and its a big boy! Biggger than I expected but it looks absolutely beautiful - a real work of art from the good people at Televue.

Never seen so much cloud over Leeds since its receipt though. Still nice thing to look at....
