More on this
Hi Fred,
Thanks muchly for your generous reply. I also forgot say that I was knocked over by what a difference a top quality eyepiece made to this setup.
A friend had there a Teleview Ethos 13mm, which was worth more than this entire budget OTA and mount of course.
We put that in, not knowing what to expect, and the result was amazing. You would have sworn that this humble ED was a Takahashi or something , at least until we calmed down a bit
Now I am colourblind and cannot judge fine differences in performance in that department, but others felt that this top eyepiece improved the budget scope tremendously.
It was an unlikely pairing, one that you would not ordinarily make, and a very interesting one. It impressed all the youngsters tremendously viewing Saturn.
Cheers
