Its up to you mate , at the dollar value you can grab almost all the GSO superviews the 2x 1 1/4 inch 15 and 20mm and the 3x 2 inch the 30, 42 and 50mm for about $230 , that's a deal and your 9mm and 25mm will fit in there nicely , !!!
( my 19mm TV Panoptic is worth more than all 5 of these put together ) but the 20mm on its own is almost as good
on its own , but has your scope got a 2 inch focuser ? . Remember the $199 package has filters ( that are good to have ) and a barlow and a case , another great deal
.
Its a tough one , 2 inch capable for $230 , or 1 1/4 inch for $199
:ques tion: ,
Its a tough call Rick , and yours alone I am afraid , both will last you for years , money well spent , they say
.
But if it was me and my 8 inch f5 had a 2 inch focuser the GSO Superviews would be the the cats whiskers for me ,,, + $39 for a Bunnings case of course ????
.
Looking forward to what ever you choose Rick and welcome to amateur astronomy and empty pockets .
Brian.

Just on the original post about EP's, should I be too concerned about getting 2" as opposed to the 1.25? I agree the kit from Andrews looks good, but think I'd be selling myself short by getting a bunch of 1.25" rather than spending a little extra and getting 2" jobbies. Thoughts?
PS. thanks all for the warm intro to IIS, didn't expect so much help so quick  |
