Hi DSB,
Glad the conditions were right for you. Sounds like you had a good night. Know what you mean about the highs mag EPs diming the light. I think I get better results using a 2X barlow to match the magnification between...let's say a 6mm without 2XBarlow, then a 12mm with. I could be wrong given the 12mm is an ED with a lot more eye relief and simply better quality. Then there is the issue of weather a 2" may be brighter or dimmer than a 1.25" EP. I am only just learning as well...Perhaps someone would care to comment on the issue?
Yea...It is great having the biggest scope for the night
. Happened to me not long ago,except I had absoloutly no idea where to point the damn thing!
I am also thinking of adding two high quality EPs to match my scopes. Have a good one DSB
