Barlow & Cheshire suprise!
My 2" 2x Barlow and Cheshire EP arrived today (monday).
<b>1.</b> Got a pleasant suprise with the Barlow. I expected it to be for 2" EP's only but it comes with a 1.25" adaptor!
So for $79 It is like buying 4 new 1.25" EP's and a 15mm Superview!!! Many Hundreds of dollars worth. Excellent. See pic below.
Can't try it out though as we are fogged in every night now.
<b>2.</b> I collimated my scope to as accurate as I could get it using the film canister method. Then I stuck in my new Cheshire. WOW! It was a long way out!!! Amazing how inaccurate a film canister can be. Looking forward to what I will see with correct collimation.(when the fog goes away).
With the Cheshire I used my little red torch shining in the side and it is so simple to use. Thank you to all who recommended I get it, Geoff, Laurie an Mike especially.
I am looking forward to trying them both out but it appears I will have a long wait.
