scopes/ep's
Hi John - pretty basic stuff really: GSO 10 inch f5 dob (on Round Table) and a 6 inch f8 achro that I've "pimped" (according to my youngest son!) in my w/shop with compression ring electric focusser, quartz dielectric prism and a scope axis sliding counterweight to assist with ergonomics. It's the "plonk and go" scope that we take on our regular bush trips: I realized long ago that a decent apo (5 inch plus) was never going to happen but I have to confess that it's not too darn foul. Use a Baader filter for CA and it seems to work pretty well.
I responded to the thread after seeing your's and Steve's responses: mbaddah's obviously looking for quality ep's (I think we both put in unsuccessful offers on a 14mm Pentax!) I'd been interested in the Hyperions: only recently purchasing an 11mm T6 Nagler plus TV 2x barlow and opening my eyes a bit to what good quality ep's can do to even "fair" instruments. Mainly obsessed with the vicarious pleasures of just observing, but have thought of photograhy down the ways.
Cheers, Darryl.
