Thanks guys
Thanks everybody for taking the time to respond to my post, much appreciated. I think it’s the photographer in me looking for sharp images that has me so fixated on quality EPs. My son is happy with what we have, and of course my granddaughter is over the moon with what she can see. So decided to stick with the EPs we have for now.
New to the forum so not sure how to insert quotes to reply to each of you in one posting so I’ll do it this way:
StutzJr: My order is in for an 8X50 right angle finder scope, the straight through scope is a real pain.
Malcolm: Yes, I’m quite happy barlowing the 25mm, I find it very easy on my eyes compared to the 10mm. My son has no problem with the 10mm, perhaps it’s just my old eyes, or maybe the photographer in me is looking for shaper images than he is happy with.
Allan: I’m hoping to get along to a few observing nights and talk to other people about their EPs. Appreciate the “advice designed to save money in the long run” – I wish you had told me that before I got into photography though, which has similar traps to astronomy.
Stewart: As you can see I have mange to “resist the urge to lash out”. I still find the 2” 30mm superview an attractive proposition, considering the price and might just give it a go.
