Ouch thats unfortunate about your daughter ! I bet shes not happy this occured during the school holidays
I went out myself again last night and only got in a short session of about 45min before the clouds shut me down.
The 31 nagler was very very nice to use but im not really tempted to buy one at this stage ( I would however consider a swap for my 27 panoptic
).
The 27 pan is a great eyepiece in my scope, giving me 1.47 degrees field and an exit pupil of 5.4mm.
A 35 pan would give an exit pupil of 7mm, which is a bit on the big side. If I get another chance I'd love to compare it to the 27.
My next expense I think is a focuser upgrade. If I can get the crayford that some dealers in the US are selling for my scope that might be a good option. Damn that Mike iceman character for jumping on the moonlight focuser for sale here that I really really want
