Wanted:2" Erfle EP [No Longer Wanted]

[Wombat_In_Space]

I hope someone out there will be able to help, I am looking to buy a 32mm 2" erfle. I am willing to pay a resonable price for one. I have use one in my 12" water heater before so I know how they perform. :thumbsup:

Darren, the Baader hyperions are basically an erfle with an additional element which can be unscrewed to utilise the 2 inch erfle element. May be worth hunting someone down with one to try.

I just read a review on them against the Orion Stratus (http://www.svenwienstein.de/HTML/stratus_english.html) they came out even only problume I could see is they only go up to 21mm :( but they might be worth getting in the lower focal lenghts :thumbsup:. They have some very nice features that othes are lacking in here (http://www.svenwienstein.de/HTML/hyperion_-_english_version.html) is the review.

Darren, Orion are now making the stratus in larger sizes.. 30 & 35mm, listed on this site. (http://orion.telescopes.com/series/orion-stratus-wide-field-eyepieces-4423.html)

There is now a review on the Stratus 30mm on CN - posted 9-7-06

One interesting point raised was the weight which is 27oz Thats Heavy :scared:

Counter weights would have to be considered
