As I both image and observe, imaging recently has taken precedence over observing on good nights due to buying a new ZWOASI2600MC OSC camera
On some occasions I have my 8” imaging rig running in the backyard and I observe with the 12” Goto dob in the front car Bay Area near the garage
I enjoy both parts of the hobby
add some planetary power, 5mm ultrascopic, or tak starbase 6mm, something from 9-12mm useful also -perhaps offload the Ant plossl, maybe the meade’s you are dbl’ing up on those focal lengths

Any comparison notes on the Erfle and the RKE at 28mm?
The RKE28mm is the ' Porthole ' Version ...the eyepiece 'disappears ' as you look into it because of the field stop....it's like being outside the eyepiece ...!!
The TAK Erfle doesn't perform that magic ... gives nice warm views at smaller fov.
I have exactly 2 - 30mm Tak and 7mm Tak. All I need
What .. no Parks Gold Series .. I purchased a Parks GS-5 7.5mm because you were raving about them.. Ok .. in reality I purchased it because it was cheap and I remembered you raving about it.
Oh ... and I have all the Tak LE series, a XW7 and couple TMB Monocentrics and a couple ZAO's.
And from a similar thread ... I have four scopes to use the in. A TEC 160FL, APOMAX 130mm, AP130GTX and a Orion UK 10" f4.8 Newtonian.

Other barely used peripheral pieces.
Just need Martin to part with his 21mm Ethos and life will be sweet...
Sorry Pat , unfortunately the hand grenade is not for sale
Just waiting on Orion to get up higher towards the summer so I can use the 21mm. It’s an eye opener with that 100deg AFOV. You really don’t get a sense of how Huge Orion’s nebulosity fans out into the cosmos until you view it through this eye piece in a medium to big dob , simply spectacular !!

Yes, I know you 21E owners get quite attached, to put it mildly. Orion with the 31T5 in my 20" dob is nice, I just need to try the slightly more contrasty field. I may have to wait until Chris (OneCosmos) gets his SDM....
