I can hear the neighbours now.... The looks I get are strange enough as it is with the telescope and the brewery setup in the garage.
It's a good idea but I'll be saving that one for the very private yard I use occasionally.
Renato, thanks for the input. I'm definitely not looking at buying the 55mm plossl straight away (if ever now).
I did pull out all of my eyepieces and have a serious go with each of them while looking at the figures for each. While I'm happy with most of them for the basic stuff, there are a few problems with the views at the edge of field on the superviews that I'm not happy with.
Is it the scope or the eyepiece? I'll be stuffed if I know but I'll be keeping at it until I narrow down the source. If it turns out to be the eyepieces I'll be saving up for a couple of gooduns.
It's funny you mention the lack of a 20mm eyepiece. I was recently drooling over the 21mm Ethos and thinking it would be a useful bit of kit.
On it's own for DSOs and coupled with the powermate for planetary/lunar use.
The Explore scientific offerings looks the goods also.
Anyone want to give me a couple of grand for doing nothing?
Clear skies. I'm getting back to work.
