I'm Panoptic Excited!

[erick]

Thanks to Tony I have a lovely Panoptic eyepiece. :thanks: I had planned on a 27mm but this 35mm was irresistibly priced. Exit pupil in my f5 will probably exceed my aging eye dilation, but it will be so much better that any low power eyepiece I have ever had. :jump: Come on, new moon weekend! :clap:

(Yes, the shopping list is finally shortening - saving for a Paracorr now.)

Congrats. Eric. I'm sure it will bring you many hours of pleasure. :thumbsup:

Lovely eyepiece, Eric. Evil Phil was waving one of these under my nose a few months ago - very nice.

Oooh - I can now update my signature again :P

[§AB]

congratulations Eric! Let's hope for months of dry heat and clear sky so you can try it out.

[goober]

Eric, I just read your sig.... when did the C8 arrive?

Congrats Eric, on a Very nice EP. Now you watch the cloud roll in, for the next hree weeks. I hope not but thats the usual effect of such a fine purchase.

Congratulations Erick - you KNOW I am jealous as hell!

Well done mate!

Not wishing to dilute my reputation, but I think that was a 26mm T5 Nagler. Come to think of it, that's an even more evil thing to do!

EP :evil:

The 35 is a nice eyepiece, also doubles as great ballast in small ships and ties down planes during gales. You will love it Eric, one of my best eyepieces IMO.

Golly, you're right - how could I forget the pineapple? From Eric's photo, it looked about the same size.

Congrats on the new EP Eric,your pile must be considerable now.

Regards,

Greg.

P.S. Catalogue everything and and take pictures, a friend of mine is having a terrible time with her insurers at the moment.

DO NOT STORE THE FILE ON YOUR COMPUTER! They nicked that as well.

Erick, I'm disappointed in you. Everyone knows that shopping lists are supposed to grow exponentially :P. The more you have the more you want. Raise your sites, you know you _need_ a RCOS ... a big one!

[erick]

I will resist - I MUST! Who needs more than 12" of aperture anyway? :screwy:

[erick]

............unless it is, of course, 2 x 12", in a binonewt! :lol:

[PhilW]

I can only applaud the sentiment Erick. You KNOW you want a binewt. :whistle:
