Shootouts! 3rd quarter viewing session @ Kulnura

[iceman]

Hi guys.

Was speaking with Rod, and we're keen for a 3rd quarter viewing session at Kulnura, on either Friday 26th or Saturday 27th of August.

My main purpose of the night will be eyepiece testing, including:

1. The 15mm shootout between the series 500, GS Plossl and GS SuperView.
2. Testing of a 13mm Nagler Type 6, in order to write a review for the site (thanks Bintel!). I'll be testing it in my scope (f/5 @ 1250mm FL) and Rod's LX200 (f/10 @ 2500mm FL), and comparing it to my 14mm Meade UWA s4000.

Also, my DGM Optics NPB filter should've arrived by then, so hopefully I'll put it through its paces, and compare it directly to Rod's Astronomik OIII.

Anyone else like to come?

rally love to hear the outcomes of testing but unfortunately i doubt cheryl would give me the passout as I've been going places without her just about every weekend for the past 1.5 months. :)

No worries, I might just go up by myself and give these eyepieces a test.
