Thanks for the help guys. Improved the collimation tonight; did a star test and was quite pleased with the results.
2x and 3x Televue Barlows were delivered today from Bintel. Rep points to the Bintel team. Ordered on Monday and arrived today(Wednesday).
Also ordered a Telrad which should arrive next week as they werent currently stocked. No biggy though.
Very impressed with the quality and design. Tested them both with various eyepieces on Saturn
, Orion Nebula (Wow!) and a few nebulae around Crux. Seeing wasn't too great; was still at leat 20-23degrees outside at 10pm, not sure if these conditions were much of a help in regards to the 'seeing'.
Interesting that the pupil view? FOV with the 2x barlow was smaller then using the 3x Barlow. I had to hold my eye further away from the eyepiece with the Barlow.
Could someone elaborate on why this is so?
